Track Fun with Trackfun

Trackfun have four more dates at Goodwood this year (see calendar). Their website isalso worth a visit to see the lengthy video of the 5 series 'Nurburgring Taxi' doing its stuff! See www.trackfun.co.uk

Never mind the antics of the M5 pilot who is a professional F3 driver, employed to drive there every day in a modified 400 odd horsepower M5....what about the hero following him, young Barrie, one of Trackfun / Mithril Racing' s instructors, who visits the place but once a year!

I will not be going due to the costs in comparison with Easytrack and Bookatrack. Having said that, if there are 25 cars or less than it is probably fairly good value overall.

And the noise limit is ridiculously low at 98dB

jedi,

do let us in on what Chris said!!

...or, over to you Chris? Why so expensive?

25 cars is low for Goodwood - I'm sure you'd get a decent amount of track time.

Tis just a shame about the 98db limit (I've run out of potatoes to stick up my exhaust!)

Yep noise restriction is a pain.
Nice track and a decent distance too.
Brands gets too boring unless its the GP circuit.
Have yet to try Bedford Autodrome as it is supposed to be very good with LOADS of run off.

Jedi,

Autodrome is fab. If it had some hills it would be perfect. 140mph+ back straight, loads of run off (as you say) and a couple of monster corners .. some pics from my time there ... here >> www.stevecarter.com/palmersport/19_01_02.htm

(Still needs at least one pototo up the exhaust tho!)

Jedi whats going on here, saw the thread earlier today at work when ChrisT got you to change your post of the 22 April
I hope it wasn't his solicitor that wanted to speak to you . Do tell, I hope you wasn't bullied into it?

No, just thought my initial comments were unfair as I didnt read what you actually get for your cash in comparison with the other companies.
