[andsoutham]

The question burning on my mind is, will I do this track day on my winter tyres?

May might be pusing it a bit :p depending how warm it is

[fabianski47vrs]

Yeah I'll book in for the sunday and monday night i think. Bit too far to risk driving bacl straight after

Considering doing the same.

was ABSOLUTELY battered at the end of the day last time. Struggled to drive back. Did divert for a massive meal and a short break,but 3hrs back was not a good idea.

Will keep an eye on this, too early to say yes to, need to see if I can get time off work.

And then there were 10.

Woop - if all 20 spots go PDQ, is there more room similar to at Brands?

 

 I don't think I've ever done a trackday with a lap of over 3 miles (if you exclude the Nordschleife) - Will be a new experience to add to my CV.

I have booked and paid for 20 to secure them at the "early bird" rate of £149 and we get a 10% block booking discount.

 

They will let me have another 10 if uptake is good, but only up to the end of March at that price.

From 1st April the early bird is likely to end so price will go up.

 

I had this problem at Brands before Christmas.

MSV hit me for more money when I added an extra 10 spots to the original 20 as we had 30 people coming.

But I didn't realise at the time so I got hit £20 for each of the extra 10 cars which was a bit annoying.

So I made sure I knew the rules this time...

[devonutopia]

Ouch, that's like two whole bookings :(

[missingmyvrs]

Another payment for Andy ( cntuning ) Octy Vrs

[hardcorehobbit]

I am set to book this but money is tight till Friday. Hopefully not all gone by then cos that would suck.

Also mentioned it to a mate who is interested in bringing his subaru (I think) along.

I will need a surname to book you on with MSV.

[stevobeavo]

I will consult with the work about time off, wish I knew this was coming up as I wouldn't of booked brands hatch in april.

[Stuart27183]

Tempted! Would have to forget to tell the mrs about this one though!

Boss,

You should have received an email from PayPal?

Boss,

Yes, we are now at 14 people.

[BossFox]

Update.

 

19 spaces gone, 1 left.

Can add up to 10 more if needed.

 

Bookings close at noon on Thursday 24th March.

I hope the new headlights come for the Octy soon. I really want to get it through an MOT so I know if I can make this or not. It's getting a bit close.  :peek:  On the positive side though I think there's only headlights and front break pads needed now to pass an MOT.

Not sure how it takes you to prep a car for an MOT, but the event is a little over two months away.

Final booking date (if there are spaces left) is noon Thursday 24th March.

It was getting it through before the 24th that was looking tight, but I've lost my patience with the headlights and got another set from the scrap yard and fitted them today. Now just the mirror to fix and number plates to attach and hopefully it should pass. But if they find something wrong in the test that could mean the budget is gone for Bedford. That's why I need it passed before booking really.

[andsoutham]

Looks like a nice mix of cars attending

[Outofthi5world]

I believe it should pass an MOT now if I get that light out so it's booked in for the 16th and I'll see what happens.

[fabianski47vrs]

Dont know why I'm hesitating on this as i had the best time at brands hatch.

Js feel it'll be really tuff n strain the car.

Hopfully I'll have collected all my parts by nxt week and get them fitted aswel by week after and will have an answer by then.

Massive track tho.

You know you want to... and besides by then you'll just be disappointed that everyone else is going and your not.

[devonutopia]

It's demanding in terms of length and possible higher speeds than brands, but it's totally flat so no hills to deal with
