Joining FTO Drivers Club

The club is free to join for any members of the driving public, whether you own an FTO or not. The idea is to bring together a group of people who enjoy their cars, and to promote friends to join we leave this open to people with various brands of cars.

We regularly organise social events such as cruises, BBQ's, driver education / training days and other social activities. As well as this, joining the community gives you better access to the experience and minds of others involved in the club.

Liability and Rules

When involved in group activities, it is appropriate to set some standards regarding behaviour of participants at social events. Use the following as a guide:

During all social events, official road rules must be observed at all times. If you ignore the rules of the road and attract police attention as a result, do not expect intervention of any kind from other attendees.

General behaviour while in public reflects back onto every other participant. Use common sense.

If you feel the urge to drive at the limit (either your limit or that of your vehicle's), please save it for track day. Individuals exhibiting blatant disregard for the safety of others will simply find their details pulled from the mailing list.

Organisers of social activities have no liability for loss or damage that may occur during those activities.

Convoys

Whenever multiple vehicles travel together, there are some common-sense guidelines worth noting:

The driver of the car in front of you does not have responsibility for your safety - you do! If the car in front overtakes a vehicle, do not follow simply to "keep together" - use exactly the same decision making processes you would use on your own.

Leave a safe distance between yourself and the car in front. 2 seconds is a good rule of thumb.

If you are leading a convoy, bear in mind that every vehicle behind you must drive at least as fast as your speed just to stay together. Any delay suffered by a trailing vehicle will leave that driver choosing between separation or a speed increase. Choose your speed accordingly.

If you are leading a convoy, a decision to overtake a slower vehicle comes with a risk multiplier... Five cars in a convoy equals five times the risk from that one manoeuvre - assuming all drivers wish to stay in convoy. Use common sense.
