It seems like the last time I was at a TD was a long, long time ago.

Times are changing and hopefully with better weather we can have a bit of fun.

Just putting it out there, is anyone interested in a TD?

Looking at the TD calendar, I can't believe at how many are booked!

I was thinking about possibly the open pit lane event at Castle Combe on 15-05-21. It is a Monday, that's why the price is reasonable.

That date wasn't on the site I was looking at. That's my wife's birthday! I could treat her to a day out. She could do the teas!

Hopefully so.

I had to press my previous MK1 vRS into service about 3 years ago for the cerb TD at Rockingham. Did you do that one? It was competitive as standard apart from a little remap. This should be much better, we will see.

Perfect, Friday always works well.

I didn't do the Rockingham day, never liked the circuit and was busy.

I actually haven't done many track days at all recently so I am very out of practice and need to get back up to speed.

The racers are starting the season later this year so they are now all track daying it to get upto speed which is why they are all booked up I imagine. Some drivers have had at least 3 full days already using the trackday format and maybe one official series test so far.
Best positive thread in months thumbup
