Anyone fancy a trackday? LOL

I have been talking to the guys at Bruntingthorpe (lovely they are too) and they are able to accomodate us on the 6th August for a track day. They will start they day of with a briefing followed by a "ducks & drakes" session where we follow their lead car to get a feel for the track before its open racing.

A break for lunch (which they will provide) and back to the track til half 4!

They can also offer us a tutorial/seminar on driving skills if we require.

Cost is £100 all in, you may take a passenge round with you and you may add another driver to your car for an extra £25.

Helmet hire is available for £15.

What do you reckon guys?

**mulletboy2** · Friday 27th May 2005, 19:31

Hrmmm... at the moment it's a no, as I don't trust my driving.. however, if I come back from my supercar driving day without having written any of them off, I may change my mind

What's the closing date for entries Moppy?

Oh, and who's uprating their brakes before they go? It's one sure fire way of finding out who has the best brakes. I may hold off buying new ones until I find out who wins on the day

**BagR** · Friday 27th May 2005, 19:41

so where is this place then?

Outstanding peeps, I would encourage all who can attend to do so, track days are outstanding fun, and bruntingthorpe always gets good write ups.

I'm presuming we will need to organise track day insurance. Anyone got any recomendations ?

Andrew.

**Ross9** · Friday 27th May 2005, 22:25

depends how confident you are in your own/other VF peoples, driving.

Its not a requirement for a track day for you to have insurance, I never have trackday insurance on any events, personal preference, or finance, lol.

**V8guitar** · Friday 27th May 2005, 22:29

I assume its a track day only, not speed runs ?

If its just track then I'm out...although might come but not to run....let me know the cost to watch etc...

**JUDGENINJA** · Saturday 28th May 2005, 00:14

That's rather odd...most of last year most of you lot weren't interested and worried about damage etc.......

Moppy,
Can you find out if this is an open pit lane...
total Car limit for the day...
what company is running the day as they are responsible for public liability insurance (not the damage to your car just personal injury to spectators and staff)...

Any other details you can think of...

When do you need a deposit...?
