Anyone going to this or been to one at Colerne? I've got a couple of days off coming up and am tempted.

I did an MSE day at Colerne a couple of months ago in the wet. It's a really good track with plenty of variety in the corners and a couple that are quite tricky. There's one in particular that I don't think I got right once.

MSE did their usual good job of organising itthumbup

ETA £79 is a billy bargain

I used to live at Colerne Army base and used to wonder what all the motoring events going on were about? They never used to invite us Army lot

I've just got hold of some sticky rubber on 13" wheels so might go along and see if I remember how to drive the Caterham.

I'm seriously tempted. I'll have a look at my diary for that day.

Very tempted...
Do you know how it is run?
How much track time do you get?
Is it single laps?

Other MSE-organised days I've been on are open pit lane and the track is open 10-1 and 2-5 (I think)
