Cancelled I'm afraid.

Please PM if anyone is interested in doing this in the future.

Oooo Rye House is rather special.
I'd have to see if my funds will stretch that far, lol

Must admit, I hadn't checked the financial situation! I was just thinking of a bit of plain old arrive and drive, though. Nothing fancy.

Are there any other decent outdoor tracks nearby? I know Daytona (up in Milton Keynes) is supposed to be good, but it's a bit of a trek for me.

You should have come when we did it as a TVR group last year, Chris!

I managed to get a reduction from Rye House as well.

I'm going to be twiddling my thumbs this weekend, so drop me a PM if any of you fancy an exploratory trip out to one of the arrive and drive places.

It's not entirely clear from the website whether or not Rye House does arrive and drive and, if so, how much it costs. Open to other suggestions if anyone knows of another decent track nearby?

It's a bit further afield, but there's always Daytona in Milton Keynes too:

I think the idea is just to do an arrive and drive session initially rather than book an event (could look at doing that later if this proves popular, though).

It seems most places require you to book even for arrive and drive practice sessions, so if we pick a venue and a date it's probably easiest to let everyone book independently.

I'd like to join in with this. I've only "karted" once before though.

The best non-GP weekend dates for me are the 31st and the 10th. What do you guys reckon?

I've yet to speak to the tracks, so if we can find a date I'll enquire.
