not that i know of

although french car show seems to be end up being dominated by 106/saxos on track anyway, just the odd clio /205 / 306 here and there

but from what I have seen FCS is not a serious trackday at all. Too big a difference in car and driver ability.

fcs track time is a joke

8 minute sessions not 15
knobs with no etiquette and forum loudmouths with a point to prove

i actually thought on 2 occasions in the 8 minutes "well thats my car wrote off"

ax 1.0 pulled over for the 106 in front of me then dived back onto the racing line right in front of me
amd a renault 19 that dived up my outside on the brakes then turned into the line my car was on putting me off the inside of the track

simple answer
anything advertised on an open forum the cunts will come out to play

Alex has hit the nail on the head basically. Idiots trying to show off and driving way past their ability, or experienced track day drivers driving high powered cars in the novice sessions to make themselves look faster/better whilst scaring and intimidating the newbies it's designed for.

Get on clubMSV or the like and find something well organised and MUCH better value for money.

I tried to hire castle combe for the day last year all done properly and for serious drivers, damn its expensive and jokers who 'might' come didnt help the situation.

As above either forum trackdays get filled with dick heads or thay dont happen, Best thing to do is just get a few mates (off here or at home) and all just book a normal trackday at your local track that way you limit the muppets to two or three guys but theres no shortage of them mind my local track theres 3 guys that go there every two months and one of them always crashs and you will find that not matter what you do well unless you book the track for your self lol.
