Quite simple, who's going...?

After missing the last two events I can't wait to go back, and this is the last one of the year from Trackskills...

Donal will hopefully have another virgin to sacrifice to ensure good weather...

In a road car? That is about the same as a jet taking off... Expect to be stopped by plod...

Loud cars are usually held off until after 12pm on a Sunday. Check with Donal to be on the safe side. They have had issues with noise complaints, but mostly from tyre squeal.

If there is anyone who has never done a track day before or are worried it might be damp, they are often the best days to go...

Learn better car control in the wet and it is less punishing on the tyres...

Rear wheel drive boys get to hang it out a bit without being told off ( normally drifting in the dry causes too much noise)...

As Amos said " get the finger out " and get yourself down there, it's a good days crack...

High chance this wont happen for the weekend but if I pick up the new (second hand) type-r what way would I tackle going to this?

From this thread I gather it needs booked. £95. When is the latest that can be done?

And is that it?

Just turn up?

Any kit needed or advised?

Does every one bomb on the track at once, or is it limited to a few at a time? As many laps as you want?

How many cars would typicaly show up?

I have never been on a track before so I would be taking it fairly easy (in my new car!), getting corners wrong most likely blahblah. Is it wide enough for me to keep out of the way so people dont get pissed at me recking their laps etc.

If the car dies on the track OR I hit something, can any one comment on the cost of getting it home? Is any one kind enough to tow me to belfast :p


Going to be proper skint at this stage so any costs I dont know about?

Any advice welcome!

Can just imagine writing the thing off :cool: Will be a good story anyway!

You need a crash helmet with you, plenty of petrol, good pads/discs with good brake fluid.

Email trackskills to book a place then turn up and enjoy. You get a 15min session and will be able to fit 4 in.
