I am well up for this, id pay up to 100, travelling no problem, would enter car providing im done 100 miles between now and then, am only free tues and wens, although if i know the date in advance i could try and book it off.

Sounds like I won't be the only Fabia in attendance which is good! :p

Would be good to put the Fabia up against the Octavia. I agree with Fabpreza that the main difference would be power on the straight. The corners would be pretty close I say. Especially seen as we are almost all running lowered Fabias now.

:D

Yep, I reckon that the Fabias would do pretty well and it would only be if there were quite long straights that a normal Octavia would get away. Your corner speeds would probably be quite high, with less roll and a lower centre of gravity.

Beware the black RSs though

i would love to do a trackday in my vRS..

why do you guys not want other motors around... all the fun is killing them with stuff they feel is inferior...

i did a lancer day in my clk430 - put slicks and koni's on it and kicked ass - the red evo on the cover of this months banzai magazine belongs to the other director here - and he sucumbed to the "old mans automatic..":drive1:

Paul,

I think its primarily due to the number of novices on here (I don't mean that in a derogatory way). Personally, I love a mixed day. There is some perverse satisfaction in nailing a 911 in a Skoda

Usually I go out to play with the Subaru lot, but have also had a lot of fun with the TVR boys, Elise owners, 911 owners. I especially love it when its wet

I think that once people have "lost their cherry" so to speak that we could open it up, but, there is quite a performance gap between a 1.2 Fabia and a Subaru, TVR, 911, Caterham, Elise etc. Having said that, funniest thing I saw was on one of the winter-warmers at Donington in December, guy in a caterfield got fed up with the rain so used his TDI Caddy van as his track day car

OK, we've been talking about this and this is what we (OK some of it is just me) have come up with:

1. We hire somewhere like LLandow for the day. This comes to about

Big yellow dot for me please!!

Sounds great and

Most won't cover you :(

Some policies have a set numberof days that you can do per year, provided you tell them before hand.

There are specialist companies which will cover you, but they ain't cheap and have ridiculously high excesses (eg

So could I find a specialist who would cover me for the one day?

I think I would take it fairly easy anyway on the track. i.e letting most people overtake!

As long as I have a bit of fun through the twisties I'll be happy!

I'm interested in either. Preference:-

1) Bruntinghorpe

2) Llandow

Sounds good to me. Does this mean i should save up for some new tyres Jon.

Oh..... and i promise to used both hands on the wheel this time:D .

Steve

P.S could you supply a Porsche for us to 'play' with

Steve

.... Mine will have to be a bloody great RED warning triangle or something - yelllow dot on mine might make someone think I know what im doing

What are your thoughts on this?

I think either venue is good - would go for open pit lane rather than sessions - i find with sessions you get a sudden influx of pent up agression hitting the track -which leads to over optomistic driving. The open pit seesm to be more relaxed - apart from the first 30mins in which i recommed the newbies wait a while and let the heros get it out of their system..

Jon please correct me if these are the wrong tracks!

LLandow looks a nice circuit although being in Cardiff it's 150 miles from me

Bruntingthorpe has a MASSIVE straight! That could be wicked fun

Also from a purely selfish point of view it's 100 miles away which is much better than Cardiff! It's my preference anyway

Dave,

Those are the correct tracks.

Bruntingthorpe is a laugh, thats why I suggested running the shorter circuit for the track day, and just opening up the long straight at lunchtime for top speed runs as on the 2 mile straight mine was accelerating past an indicated 155 3 up Now that to me would be bad for the cars as there's a 90 right at the end of it. I reckon brake fade could be an issue for some

Both sound good to me.

If in July, then may it be the end of. Otherwise September should be cool. I'm on Hols from the 4th to the 18th of July! Don't wanna miss this!
