Is anybody going on Monday with BaT? I'm just about to book it for the afternoon and evening sessions.

Is there a chance that it will get cancelled if it's too quiet?

I'll be heading up there with the Exige from Track-Club.

I seem to have a curse on attendance at BaT days recently - was at Rockingham a few weeks ago and there was only about 25 cars there for the full day.....

Feel free to say

I'll be there for the evening session - feel free to say hello, but don't bother watching my lines! I'll be in the silver clio cup.

Good to meet some of you yesterday, had a really good time out on the track.

Tom, drop me an email as the lady took some smart pictures of you on the main straight I can send you some copies if you want.

How long does it normally take to put up the BaT pics?

Had a cracking time up at Donny. Apologies for not saying hello theboyfold - saw you on track a couple of times, but never managed to catch you in the pits. I was blatting around in the Exige below, first ever drive in one, and I hope and pray it's not the last!! A truly awesome machine bow

No worries, I'll have a look tonight to see if I have any pics of the Exige. I think it was your one I pointed to and commented to my girlfriend "one day I have a track toy like that"

Yep - good day all round. Top track, good weather, loads of track time, not too many stoppages and loads of space on track. The clio was more fun than I thought it would be as well.

The BaT pics usually take a few days to get uploaded, but I think it could take a little bit longer this time as they're at Spa on Friday...

Mark - Good to meet you. I'll PM you separately about the pics.

Cheers

Tom.

Just wanted to give top marks and a big thankyou to BookaTrack.

We had arranged to hire a track day car from a 3rd party. Unfortunately, whilst en-route we were told that it had broken down and would not be arriving.

Frantic calls to BaT followed. They had a Caterham for the afternoon but nothing for the evening. We agreed - having taken the time off work, paid the track day fee and were on the M69.

When we got there Jonny agreed to hire us his Honda Elise for the whole day. Very trusting given that he was taking it to Spa the next day.

Realistically he had us over a barrell and did not try to take advantage.

So top marks for a great day and excellent service.

The elise required concentration and respect. I think we started to get the hang of it by the end of the day. Great fun.

Thanks again.

no problem. the elise performed fine at Spa on both days too - just need to get the 'box rebuilt now to sort the crunchy snychro and add an LSD while it's out :-)

Just spotted this thread. I've a few photos to post up soon...if anyone was there (afternoon/evening) let me know the car and I'll make a point of including them.

Thanks to Jonny and team for the quality of BaT 4 - first proper drive in a Caterham and it felt fantastic...very neutral when you finally found the limits!

Quality evening, weather held just nice, shame there were a few evening stoppages, but that's life.

I was in the black 306 Rallye (see below), do you have any pics? What were you driving, I've got a few and might have one of yours
