If you are, if you wish to come on track but avoid the usual mayhem of the mixed sessions, there's a spot in 2 sessions 10.45 and 11.30am with a bunch of skodas (and a smattering of non Skodas)

If you wish to join in these 2 sessions, let me know. smile Cost is way cheaper than buying sessions individually on the day. biggrin

Sorry, both sold this morning to a Clio 197 owner, and someone who I know who used to have a Skoda but now has an R32.

Can you ask to park in a dedicated club area when you arrive? or will I have to chance the public car park?

Fantastic day went out on track at 3.30 first time ever in the drivers seat .my god the approach to quarry corner is fast .may not be as fast as some of you but I hit 130 before getting on the brakes and trying to control the car as she moved around beneath me.
Grrrrr my gopro didn't record anything must of pressed the wrong button grrrrrrr

When's the next track day im keen to go back

But first I need a oil cooler fitted my water was over 3/4 and oil was 120/130 sp rather hot

Chav - Do you still have the stock radiator as thats a known weakpoint for cooling as it's only 1cm thick which is far too thin. I replaced the one on my GTT with a modified aluminium one from Serck Marstons (now called Serck Motorsport) and even during extended trackday (or high speed) runs my temps never rose above 1/2 way. I also used them to replace my Trust Oil Cooler (13 Row) with a much bigger 47 row version where each row was much thinner than Trusts for better cooling and it was only 1.5x the size of the Trust, about the size of a Yellow Pages. Again, the oil temps were much better after that and it didn't effect the oil pressure either.
