Next track day...

[leeroybrown]

Has Saxp got one planned?

Or is the next one at FCS 08?

[craig180]

You wanting to prove a point?;)

[leeroybrown]

I knew you'd be the first to post Craig lol

I have nothing to prove, just fancy testing my suspension out

You and me too mate! Need some practice in first though

[Viper]

i want to go on a track day!!

DAY being the important word

[Scott]

No others planned. Usual thing would happen, loads of interest then when it comes to commitment everyone backs out.

[Viper]

well why speculate about it?

would i tnot be worth trying to get one sorted. maybe first, have a thread and get a list oging of who would DEFINITELY be interested in a track day, and put up some possible destinations for it to help people decide?

[MaRiO89]

I'm up for it..Depending where it is..

[Roper]

Yeah, would like to do this.
Just been looking on Donnington Park website, and they have about 7 tracks DAYS abefore xmas and one on the 27th dec.

its £105 per driver, passengers are extra £20, extra drivers £35.

3x 20mins sessions, or
4 x 15mins sessions.

1 sessions per hour.

see http://www.donington-park.co.uk/trakzone/ for more info.

there are loads more tracks of course but just picked closest to me, :P
for information reasons only

like we did for trax?

loads of names but not many put their money where their mouth is

[Scott]

Exactly as Jay says, we have been stung and lost a lot of money for every track day we have ever organised.

Same story each time. People say yes im defo going. Ask for deposits. <tumbleweed>

[Viper]

i see your point jay, but maybe if we can get hold of a track to ourselves for a half day, or a full day it might be more appealing to people.

for example, i originally put my name down for trax, but i dropped out due to the price it cost for next to no track time!

[jeeves_101]

castle comb do a track DAY, and its 9-5.

its £165 iirc and there two limits are :-
1) only 20 cars on the track at any one time
2) zorst can be no louder than 98 db at 4500 rpm.

[MaRiO89]

Donington gets my vote..

Do the evening sessions as they are open pitlane so you can go out for aslong as u want..:d

[frankie]

PFC mag having one in december at brands hatch. i think?

[jeeves_101]

i'd be up for a track day, obviously depending on price and distance to be travelled.

but would like to get some track time in.

[Roper]

Donnington Park has a noise limit too, 98dB on normal track days, but the 27th dec has no limit, so loud as your car will go. :P

[MaRiO89]

I've been to Donington twice now and its awesome!!

Love the track soo much!

[jeeves_101]

my bad, castle combe is 100db.

here's some info - http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/car_trackdays.htm

[Roper]

EDIT: Donnington Park

le mans 24 hour FTW

[betty02]

I'd be up for this but tis just cost, and espesh before xmas, i eman if theres something local and cheap to me then put myname down, but its mainly moneyn issues with ams coming which puts me off atm, and persumin i passed my test by the 6th of nov anyways lol, so hopefully all things sorted take the 1.1 on the track haha!

[jeeves_101]

i would like to drive on thruxton, awesome race track and the fastest in the uk.

[MaRiO89]

Castle combe is shite imo..

Loads more money to go on and no run offs if you get it wrong!

[frankie]

fort castle combe was the fastest?

thruxton into far for the SW crew

[David]

the dedicated ones who really wanna do it will travel as far as need's be i think...

[MaRiO89]

I wana do it but wont travel like 300 miles to go on a track..lol

Donington is pretty central in the country..

[jeeves_101]

i think cc is ok, been there to watch many race days and its always good.

have you raced there? if not, dont knock till you've tried it.

[jeeves_101]

aint that far to thurxton, its near oxford, 2hours to get there.

[MaRiO89]

i think cc is ok, been there to watch many race days and its always good.

Been there a few times and wont pay more money than a track like donington which hosts the best motor racing championships in the world and is a far better maintained track and layout..

Castle combe is a boring lay out and only suits car's like evo's and stuff that have high top speeds..

Also as i said, there is no run off's, inexperienced drivers shouldnt go there imo..

[Baz]

i'd be up for it. Best bet would be to get prices etc and get money before actually booking anything

[MaRiO89]

Donington is £105 baz..one of the cheapest..

[jeeves_101]

fair play.

i've not been on any tracks but really would love to, so i spose i'm just wanting to get on any old track, i excpect i'd agree if i'd been there and could compare.

[jeeves_101]

Donington is £105 baz..one of the cheapest..

how much track time do you get?

[MaRiO89]

Yeah i see your point dude..

[David]

105 divided by 10 cars is only like, £10.50 each...

[MaRiO89]

how much track time do you get?

If you do the open pitlane its a few hours but u can stay on for aslong as you want..Or its the same price for all day but in sessions..

[jeeves_101]

i expect it would be £105 each buddy.

[MaRiO89]

Its £105 each dave..They may do a group deal though..

[David]

Oh.... thoguht it was too good to be true:oops:

[jeeves_101]

If you do the open pitlane its a few hours but u can stay on for aslong as you want..Or its the same price for all day but in sessions..

oh right cool.

how far is it from bristol to donnington then?

if we had interest in this and could get a deal, that would be awesome.

[MaRiO89]

Oh.... thoguht it was too good to be true:oops:

[MaRiO89]
