VXR Track Days

Vauxhall reserve places for Monaro drivers on UK track days

---

Vauxhall continue to develop their new VXR brand and are now launching a series of track days on which owners of the new Monaro VXR can really push their cars.

The V8 powered coupe is capable of 0 to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 170mph yet. With the gorgeous rumble from the V8 enticing drivers to put their put down, there will be many eager to try the car out in an unrestricted environment.

Vauxhall has negotiated a limited number of places at selected track day events in Kent, Yorkshire and Leicestershire, run by independent track day operators, which include a whole day of track driving from approximately 9am to 4pm.

In addition, Vauxhall will be bringing a VXR220 and Monaro VXR to each event for prospective customers to experience these cars from the passenger seat. There will also be a VXR instructor available to give guidance and driving instruction in the customers’ own vehicles to those who have not driven on a racetrack before

Brands Hatch, Kent	Monday 19 July	£160
Elvington, Yorkshire	Saturday 28 August	£99
Bruntingthorpe, Leics	Saturday 4 September	£99

However, places at these track days are limited, so booking as early as possible is recommended to secure a place. For more information contact John Thorne on 01494 730720 or [e-mail] .

Actually its for Vauxhall dealers to go and find prospective customers and pay for them to go on demo rides etc.... plus take their car on the track.

Give Mr Thorne a ring I'm sure there are places
