2003 Briskoda National Meet(s)!

[tavia4x4]

Right, this years "big meet" or two is in the planning stages!

Venue: Oulton Park Circuit, Cheshire (central for all)

Dates: 12/13th July and 20/21st September

Outline:

Friday night:

Gather, at nearby travelodge, food \ beer. :cheers:

Saturday:

Spirited driveout into north wales for those that desire,

:drive: else relaxing by the track for qualifying \ practice sessions.

Evening, beer \ food \ hero stories from the days drive, then all stay at decided accomodation. :cheers:

Sunday:

Meet for breakfast then convoy to circuit, then watch the days action. Depart and head for home at end of day.

We're gonna do this twice - 12/13th July is a GT\F3 weekend, 20th/21st September is a BTCC touring car weekend. Both will feature plenty of support races.

So take a look at your diary, and pencil in those dates! I hope we'll see all the "silverstoners" there from last year.

/me puts the 20/21st September in his diary

Q.

[devonutopia]

I fancy the touring cars too - I love watching that on telly too - A bit more exciting than F1 really isn't it? I guess I just like the level competition and the fact that you can pop into a garage and buy the racing cars, just with crappier engines..

[Mark]

Is that to see the Leon Cup?

Well worth the trip up - even if you only share various engine components & suspension

[TaviaRS]

Sound OK to me.

I'll lead the slow group again if you want

Just hope it doesn't clash with a Ring trip :(

[Dmac1969vRS]

Anyone fancy going to Donnington to see the ETCC? (part of the Eurosport Super Racing Weekend) Hopefully the Skoda Superbs will be in action by then!

[TaviaRS]

When?

[fab16v]

I'm certainly up for the september BTCC meet. Would think about the July meet too, but will be too busy sunning myself in Menorca!

[mellowyellow]

Hopefully up for both , certainly the first one as my nephew races in F3 .

Shame I didn't even know about this forum until recently. Silverstone would have been relatively easy for me to get to from Devon :(

Makes me even MORE determined to make Oulton Park in Sept

[sixtysixofonehundred]

Bugger, Bugger, will be in the Indian Ocean on both of these dates

[devonutopia]

Bugger? We're talking about Mauritius here, right? I'd give my right arm to be out there - and you're going twice? Bloomin 'eck!

[day tripper]

im up for it providing i have my car on the road by then.

[TaviaRS]

Isn't the German rally the July weekend?

I was thinking of going over to watch that, assuming it isn't cancelled. May combine it with a few cheeky laps of the Ring

[ZBOYD]

The SEATCupra.Net folks will be there at Oulton supporting the SEAT Cupra Championship. Be nice to see some of the Briskoda guys come over and say hello, we should have a group of us nearby the SEAT Villiage on display.

:cheers:

[ColinD]

Indeed, be good to meet y'all and see the seats, so long as you promise no tempting new cupra-r's on show

[TaviaRS]

ZBoyd, would any of them fancy going on a gentle drive in the country?

[sixtysixofonehundred]

Devonutopia - not that glamorous, East Timor 2 x 4 week stints

[devonutopia]

sorry - some serious religious **** has gone down there in the last few years. What you out there for? I see you're on offshore safety advisor. Is that with the Foreign Office?
