Never done a track day and didn't know they were so expensive WOW! I will pop in for my M4 fast lap that I won at Gaydon, but after that i guess I will be asked to leave Be interesting though.

Thats cheap to be able to drive a top circuit all day open pit lane - if you hang around other people may offer you a passeneger lap as great bunch of club people at these days

Ah ok that would be great, like I said not been involved in track days before so have no idea what they cost, thanks for the heads up.
What time does it all kick off ? Edited by Easy71 - 22 Aug 2015 at 6:45pm |

People start arriving from 07.30, briefing at 08.30, circuit opens at 09.00. You can arrive for your winners ride when you like, and stay for as long as you want. Our £250 is below the going rate, we need 65 entries to generate the £16k we need for the circuit hire

You will need use of a helmet whilst on track, Some tracks hire them for a nominal fee.

I have trawled Ebay for a helmet without finding one, the thing is I am an ex biker so I am reluctant to put my head in anything that doesn't cost £400 lol and for a track day that's a lot of wonga !!!!! Do I need to be so safety conscious or would this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OMP-Circuit-ECE-Approved-Race-Racing-Rally-Track-Day-Motorsport-Helmet-In-White-/360836121900?var=&hash=item540382452c
do the job????? The lap I have won tells me nothing about what PPE will be required for the day. I would rather buy one than hire one, however it is my first track day and not sure when I will get the chance again. Oh and getting very excited

If you are only coming for your free lap - I'm sure we can fix you up with a helmet

I won't be joining you at Donington this year, as I am on my hols. Maybe I'll make it to Oulton Park for the first time this year instead.
I hope you have a great day.

Think about what you can do for the club, not what it can do for you... |
