[M12MKD]

So if no other mk3 signs up I'll be the fastest mk3 on track.........I follow where the Citigo left off!

But on the other hand, you'll also be the slowest :P

You'll need to battle with Mike then for honour of fastest and slowest Octy 3 vRS  

[meb90]

I was tempted by doing the track day, but I feel there is already enough MK3 Octy VRS competition!

 

I wouldn't want to show you up in the diesel would I? :P

 

We'll ignore it'd be my first track day and that I'd be awful!!

This is not the spirit.  It's the taking part / experience which matters.  If you are not comfortable with other cars around all you need to do is go to the side, wait for a fairly clear rearview mirror, then just have some fun like a spirited B road blast - nothing serious.

Agreed, don't read what I wrote badly, I'd like to do a track day at some point. I'm trying to be good with money just at the moment, and it wouldn't just be the £53 cost

[devonutopia]

I didn't read it badly don't worry.  I can respect your viewpoint wholly.

[Paulbrown]

I won't do the track but if I am off I would come and be on the club stand

I'm purely in jest, I think it's safe to safe for the regulars that I'm not called Captain Slow for nothing!! Like Jason said just drop back give yourself some space and enjoy it. Track view is very good at combe so you can see them coming and pick your point to let them past.

 

First time is always a bit stressful but you'll be fine, everyone has good manners and very used to slow people like me

[James I]

Just contacted Jason for a club stand ticket, not sure how an electric Golf will fair on track.

 

 I will have the camera again, all pictures will be free to down load off Flickr as usual.

 

 Look forward to seeing old and new faces at this great day out.

[Jonny5ive]

Mother-in-law has confirmed that she's not attending, so I have passenger spaces available in the Popemobile if anyone is interested

What's the procedure with being on track as well as club stand?

Track includes being on stand, normally those who aren't doing track park clear of others for easy access

As above - everyone is on the clubstand but the ones who have paid for the track sessions get a little blast around the circuit, unlike the others who can watch / video / take photos

Wooo! Thanks Jase! Edited 26 January, 2016 by ilmor

Combe suggest 15 minutes between slots, but that includes getting out there and a cool down lap, so figure 12.

Not enough to overwork a standard car unless you are particularly gifted.  Or daft.

[sharkrider]

I'm looking for passenger rides this time around, I would like to go out in the furby II vRS with you FurbyTom! I'd also like to out with someone in a mark I octy vRS maybe hardcorehobbit?! and of course richard
