Bruntingthorpe track day - 24th April -
Discussion
Full Details
The Skoda board are organising a trackday, 24th April, at Bruntingthorpe. This is mainly aimed at beginners, although others are more than welcome. Looks like a good day and a positive bargain at £90. So far it is mainly Skodas (you know those slow things that get in your way ) but there are already a few Scoobs, a very silly Supra that wants to try to crack 200 down the straight, some SEATs, couple of 200SX and some slowish track cars. So, what's included in the price and what is the format?
Free helmet hire
Free instruction
Wet handling circuit, against the clock and with instructors if needed
Sessions in the morning, split beginners/inters/advanced
Open pit PM
Burger van
Booking Process:
**WHEN asked about skills, eg virgin, noivce, inter or advanced. Do not worry about the 30 quid excess, this does not apply, tick intermediate for now, we'll sort it on the day **
1. Use link > https://www.easytrack.co.uk/Briskoda
2. Register or Logon > https://www.easytrack.co.uk/members/logon.asp
* Please use forum handle or easy to identify name (also don't use same pswd) *
3. Add Car details > https://www.easytrack.co.uk/members....asp?update=add
4. Book Event > https://www.easytrack.co.uk/events/...=0&has_booked=N
*Note: The cost of the day is 90GBP. Other payments are not required so do not check them during the booking process. If any mistakes are made we'll attempt to rectify them.*
Do not check instruction or hire helmets etc, I have no idea about the insurance they offer...don't check any options other than car/driver etc...
Couple of points, just to clarify my waffle:
1. There will be 25 helmets available on the day free of charge. These will be on a first come first served basis.
2. 3 instructors will be available on the day free of charge .
3. The cost is £90 per driver (speak to me first if you want another in the same car).
4. Please note this is a none profit making event for Briskoda and passengers are free on the day but I don't think a £5 donation to Briskoda would go amiss.
5. Do not book in as a novice, this will be sorted on the day.
6. The day is shown on the Easytrack home page but you cannot book through it, it's just there for our info. You need to use the link.
7. No one will be allowed back on the track if they are driving like a BMW driver, there are no refunds if you are not allowed on the track so make sure you car is road legal and you have a helmet. This is all out of our control and completely at Easytracks discretion, you have been warned.
8. There will be a small souvenir for all those who attend.

I'm interested in going on this but I've got a few possible problems.
Firstly, I've seen some track days at Bruntingthorpe that have noise limits imposed and as I drive a TVR Griffith with a sports exhaust, it rather stops me from going on these! However, I've been to Bruntinghorpe twice in the last year in the Griff, last visit being to VMAX on the 21st March so I'm not sure why there'd be a problem? Never had the car tested but I'm sure it puts out around 105-110db.
Also, would I need a roll bar as I don't have one? Lastly, I definitely don't own a helmet so if I were to come I take it making sure I arrive early as possible would be best bet to hire one for the day?
All the best - Chris

Chris,
The day is being organised by Easytrack on our behalf so for the definative answer to any of your queries you are best contacting them as their decision as they say is final & will over ride anything I think might be correct.
My opinions for what they are worth.
1. Noise, Not sure without you having it tested, if its been OK before who knows, youll have to ask. Do you know anyone with a similar car/exhaust that has been tested & can give you a better idea of the figure
2. Roll Bar, cars only need to be road legal so OK unless you think youll need it (only joking)
3. Helmets are first come first served so you know the answer to that one, I would try & borrow one to save the worry or maybey shell out £50 for an open face one.
