DTC Circuit by Calum Ballinger Photographer

Personal Bests of the DTC

It is hard to believe that it is eight years since the Lotus Club Qld ran the first Lakeside Raceway Driver Training Centre Timed Laps (DTC) event.

Since that first event in September 2011 the DTC has become an important part of our calendar and a popular addition to the other club activities.

It is thanks to a group of dedicated LCQ members over the years that have helped at each DTC to set up the staging lights and timing equipment and ensure that the day runs safely and everyone has a good time.

The event has gained a reputation for being well-run and for its camaraderie and friendly atmosphere as people mingle and compare their run times.

This success has allowed LCQ to progressively improve the event format and purchase our own staging lights. We have also purchased our own Farmtek Timing system that enables us to publish Run Times direct to a webpage on the day and for future historical reference.

It is pleasing that the DTC has filled an important place in LCQ’s event calendar and has encouraged many members to go on and test their skills in the Morgan Park SuperSprint series at Warwick.

As a matter of interest I recently went back over the previous events and compiled a list of Personal Best Times that may be of interest – see below.
