Who's up for a Trackday then?

A few of us I think......

And June/July looks like a maybe?

Any ideas? idea Your suggestions please.

I'll start the ball rolling:-

1) Silverstone's pretty central - they do track days for £229 - Sat 18th Jun or Fri 15th Jul - 105dB limit

2) Bedford Autodrome's also central - ClubMSV - they've got a track day on £179 – Mon 27th Jun – 101dB

3) Snetterton - not too central but worth mentioning - ClubMSV - £189 – Wed 22nd Jun or Wed 13th Jul - 105dB

Any other ideas?

July for me,

Not sure about the track, snetterton would be quite a long day for me, i know silverstone, and bedford, some may struggle with DB although i haven't tested mine yet so may be keen on that if i am low enough.

Bedford is the deffo the place loads off run onto grass, no sand, gravel or barriers with loads of room actually on the track which has a fantastic surface, but the lower Db's wont help

Yes, but none of those tracks would be any good for me because of the noise.

Agree, Blyton look nice but a little too far North (thanks for the contribution Chris, much appreciated).

As for Spa - that looks fab too but I was thinking 'something central UK for the day' not Central Europe for 3 days. hehe
Saving the Euro trip for Germany in August.

Looks like Silverstone's the most popular so I'll give them a call and see what's on offer. thumbup

Would love to do this, but, unfortunately, I suspect that the noise restrictions may well be an issue for me too.

Okay, an update after speaking to a Silverstone rep today:-

Firstly, the price……. it’s £299, not £229 as posted above – either this detail has been changed recently or I was suffering with ‘too much beer’ on Monday - whatever…..

Whilst I appreciate this change might put a few off, I am able to get a 10% discount based on 5 or more of use doing a block booking – that would mean ‘one’ of us booking on the group’s behalf. I’m happy to do that but I’ll need spondoolies up front.
Don’t say you’ll come if you not prepared to send me the money to pay on your behalf.
My personal feeling is that it’s a great venue and worth doing – at least once anyway.

In summary, this is what’s on offer:-

It’s a brand new venue at the Southern circuit (to be called the International Circuit) using new paddocks and pit lane – look at the website http://www.silverstone.co.uk/track/circuit-maps/ and it’s the southern circuit you’re interested in.
We’ll be fed breakfast and lunch and refreshments – if you wanna continue driving during lunch, you can cos they won’t stop play for lunch.
FREE non-driving guest – a good excuse for others in our group to come that can’t drive with noisier motors.
There’s a drivers clinic to talk about driving techniques etc – complimentary driver instructions for first few laps.
Track length is 1.7miles
48 cars on track at any one time.

What I need to know now is ‘who’ and on ‘what’ day?
Need to keep the ball rolling too so feedback before Monday 23rd May please.
If you can do both days, say so.
If you’re not interested because it’s too expensive, say so and we’ll look at Bedford.
