As usual our team of instructors are on hand but with this event the fee includes a free lesson. The cost for the day is £119 per car and main driver with additional drivers and passengers charged at £10 each.

I hope this helps but if you require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kindest regards,

I am going to do this on my way back from Cadwell. Not quite the straightest route back to Surrey! But an offer to stay at John's is too good to miss.

Had a fantastic day at the Llandow Track Day yesterday (11th) courtesy of John Lloyd.

This was my first track day so all very interesting. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism in organising the event.

The circuit at Llandow is relatively small at just under 1 mile. John managed to clock up about 80 odd miles of circuits. Whilst I can say I've travelled at similar speeds before I have never experienced the speed approaching and negotiating corners in my life!

I woke this morning and my calf muscles were aching like mad! I couldn't immediately understand why but then remembered, it was all the braking I did - and I was just a passenger!!!

Anyway, we have stacks of photos & plenty of video to wade through, will post some to the gallery when I know how.

Meanwhile, here's a sample of the forthcoming ‘competition’ when I get mine in September!

Angie said, you'll soon find out when she passes you on the left at the next track day!

I'm beginning to get the feeling I wont get a lookin! All she's been talking about is when 'she' drives and how 'she' sets it up for herself!

Are you ready for cheese, biscuits & pickled onions - being served now?

PS Where did you hide all the red wine - surely you couldn't possibly have drunk all of it?

£0???


That's only, because the question was not alcohol related.
