Please note that as of Wednesday 22 October, due to a scheduling conflict, Lakeside Raceway have had to move our session to be 25 minutes earlier. The times listed on this page have been updated to reflect this change. If you purchased a ticket before the times were moved, you will have received an email with extra details.
In 2025 Lakeside Raceway are only offering Happy Laps on a very limited number of dates and will be running back to back Happy Laps with various different groups (such as us) one after each other on the same day. Our on track session will be no different to normal with the same rules and limits on ticket numbers. The main differences will be the sign on process, start time and the fact that there will be other Happy Laps groups after us. Please note the times and other details listed below:
7:00 to 8:35 - Lakeside Registration and Sign on: Lakeside staff will run rolling videos of the drivers briefings every 10 minutes located in the briefing room near the control towers. All drivers must watch this video. Drivers in other Happy Laps sessions will be given wrist bands when leaving the briefing after watching the video. However, wrist bands for anyone running in our session will be given out separately by club board members. These video briefings are for anyone attending any Happy Laps session throughout the day and will therefore likely have people from other groups as well. It is recommended you arrive at Lakeside early enough to attend a briefing starting no later than 8:30 (e.g. you don't need to arrive at 7:00).
8:20 to 8:45am - Wrist bands: QLD 86 BRZ Car Club board members will issue wrist bands after you have watched the Lakeside video briefing.
8:45 to 9:00am - 86 BRZ Car Club Drivers Briefing: This is a briefing just for those attending the QLD 86 BRZ Car Club Happy Laps. Ensure anyone going on track (drivers and passengers) have a wrist bands before this point.
9:00 to 9:20am - On Track: To be let on track, everyone in your car must have a wrist band that will be unique to our session.
Driver - Financial Members of the club - $40
Driver - Non-Financial club member - $60
Passenger - $30
