Yeah - I try and spend that hour taking as many people out as possible but to be honest, everyone sort of wants to get a feel for the track, so it's more tricky for timing compared to a proper trackday.

Right, I need to work out what level of fuel to leave Devon with to turn up at Bedford with optimal fuel level (about 1/3 of a tank from memory)

Bring a few cans too

Guys, are we having the pub lunch again as we did last year?

 

 If so, I will have the Golf on a trailer, so might leave it at the circuit and get a lift off someone to the pub and then back to collect the battle bus afterwards. The car park at the pub was small iirc?

Might bring along a gallon to chuck in at the end as might be on fumes by then

 

I'd be happy to stop for a little lunch but due to me moving on the next weekend I really need to be back in Devon pdq.

You've got a fast car

Did someone need me to bring my spare open face XL helmet by the way?

Here are last years times form How fast #3.  Just a bench mark to see if we have improved.

well I will be on RSR's, regardless of weather, however I can garuntee I will beat my last time, as this car had 1,000 miles on, **** brakes, chocolate tyres, no rarb, and I had limited experiance!

I'll be running tyres with whatever is left on them from Blyton.

Agreed.

Though these are so old and heat cycled that they may as well be made of concrete now... they just don't wear out.

Even a day at Santa Pod didn't kill them. 15.7 @ 89mph btw.

Yes I think that's the plan and you can jump in with me.

Seen that scrawled in permanent marker in several service station loos on the M5 along with a phone number.

Presume if I call the number I can sort a passenger pass for Sept Combe as well Jason

I wonder if your helmet will fit me, oooh eerrrr misses  

 

if not will hire one

Well, the Brisk Rover is ready to go but I still haven't had an email or money taken yet so I'll be phoning MSV in the morning to see what's occuring.

All sorted. Just spoke to Stuart at MSV, turns out I got a new debit card not long after I'd made the initial booking so the payment never went through. Details updated, payment make, email received. See you Saturday

Cool!  

 

Weather looking decent to finish off my Kumhos!

Because I CBA reading the whole thread, what time is briefing?

I'll not be joining you for pub lunch afterwards, apparently I'm shopping for a new sofa in the afternoon!!

Good luck if you think you'll be able to find something suitable in just one afternoon!

I imagine briefing will be around 9.30, simply as by 10 o'clock we need to in the paddock and ready to head out for the 1 hour of practise.

Didn't get this via email...?

I didn't twig that.  I thought 10am was the start of the practise lapping.

 

I might not be able to stop for pub lunch then as really need to be back in Devon soon after,  We shall see.

That's what they sent me and I'm guessing that's the timetable for the days for all of us booked for the 10.00am session.

Might be worth giving them a call to double check maybe...???

It's the 10am session, meaning you need to be there around 10am.

Briefing is shortly afterwards.

Don't need to bring anything other that a helmet and liscence do we?
