Any interest in a trackday around March?

[Paul Whiffin]

If I can get numbers I will approach about doing a group/club discount, what do you think?

 

Good plan Stan. Next step is to get a figure then?

[Wez]

I have had a reply from MSV regarding a 10% group discount

 

How many do we have ready to go then?

 

=============

Hi Wes,

 

 

 

Thank you for your email.

 

If you can get 10 or more drivers to book for the same full day event I can offer you a 10% discount per booking and reserved garages. This discount will include any additional extras booked with the original booking.

 

We would handle all of the booking/admin/money taking elements. All you would need to do is set up a group with us and give it a name, then get everyone to call up and leave their details with them. Once you we reach the 10th driver we would run the group through the system with the 10% discount.

 

Please feel free to contact on the number below for further details or to set the group up.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Is this for Wednesday 18 March Wez? If so I'll have to ask permission from my new job before committing I'm afriad, and I don't start there for 3 weeks.

 

Brands is a big treck from here but I'll still come if I can

[AlexM]

What date were you thinking Wez? I'll sort out my calendar but I expect I can do it.

Sadly my car is far to loud for a noise restricted day.

If you need a half way place to stop overnight I'm about 80 supra minutes away from Brands. it's 1 minute from the M4 so is on your route there if you go that way!

Get a quieter one?

[JamieP]

Thats the plan when i have time.

[mrgee2jz]

so can we bring our screamer pipe cars????

[Paul Whiffin]

Thats the plan when i have time.

 

Might as well go with a Tanabe. I will be introducing my own quiet exhaust in the next month though, bit cheaper than the Tanabe as well.

We've never had a problem as yet.

[Wez]

We've never had a problem as yet.

 

Same here, I did brands with a Tanabe and screamer a few months back without any issue.

We've never had a problem as yet.

 

are most of ure trackdays timeattack? which isnt regulated as such.

 

i cant see how an external wasteated car could ever stay on track?

We do more track days than Time Attack I'd say, the cars need plenty of setup time plus learning the tracks. Time Attack are regulated just the same as a track day. Never had a problem with any of the Supra's because of the wastegate.

Thanks for the offer Darryl!

I second the Tanabe, I love mine; not droney when cruising yet still enough burble/noise to excite the likes of quite reserved me without annoying the neighbours and still stay well within track noise limits.

At the risk of derailling this possible Brands event, I'm very tempted by BookaTrack's Rockingham event on Sat 28th Feb:

• 1.7 mile 'National circuit' so a bit of the banked oval(!) and loads of the infield
  
• £195
  
• Open Pit lane
  
• Noise limits of a quite generous:
  
  • 103dB Drive-By. Measured from track-side
    
  • 103dB Static. 0.5m and 45° from exhaust at ¾ maximum RPM

 

Single seaters not allowed.

 

National Circuit layout:

"Centrally located, Rockingham is easily accessible from the A1, M1 and A14, within easy reach of London and 30 minutes from Bedford"

 

Rockingham Motor Speedway

Mitchell Road

Corby

Central-ish for those showing an interest, too.

[Wez]

Interesting indeed, Steve see if you can get a group discount.

 

I would personally still prefer Brands but will go with whats decided.

[Paul Whiffin]

Well 16 people voted for Brands Hatch, where are they now?

Shall I setup a group with MSV and let people call in and arrange?
