Yep, about 10 from Queensland are attending. Mazda Australia confirmed today that they have myself and 2 guests attending, received the Supplementary Regulations and I'm in group 4 and have number 63 :) Will be bumping in on Friday afternoon.

Car has been washed, not sure if it will get a polish as it has about 1600km on a trailer to endure.

MX5 club does not have much detail (see Calendar section).
Lists 21 Jan as the main day? What happens on the other days?

If you want to try my seat out a slow tour of the pits on Friday could be a possibility. I'm still debating on fitting the passenger seat for the practice session. May even take my spare muffler down for the last session :)

No thanks re the seat trial. My car has way more room than yours. I have an extra 40mm between seat top and roll cage compared to yours, and all that electrical stuff you have on your rear firewall is located where my back goes! I am on my 2nd roll cage and version/position 3 of one of 5 seats I have owned and tried.

Has everyone got their entry details?

I have registered with Mazda sent in entry forms etc but have not got anything back. Is there an entrant list?

Send an email to loyalty@mazda.com.au and request confirmation (including any guests). Mazda got back to me within 24 hours of asking.
