But you do get a lot for your £85 at Santa pod, it’s incredibly cheap for what it is. As the director said at Santa pod, you couldn’t go to F1 at Silverstone for £85 for the weekend! Also worth noting though, grandstand tickets are extra at Santa pod and ideally need pre-booking to get the best seats. Although they can be purchased on the day which I think is £15 each seat for the day. Saturday and Sunday offer the best racing as it’s eliminations. Thursday/Friday is testing I believe, but it’s good racing whatever day it is as long as the weather behaves.

JAE for me, I’ve been to Santa pod European finals for a few years now and although I absolutely love it and try to attended as often as possible, there is a major setback. They cannot allow drag racing to commence in the rain, whether that be a little drizzle or shower, up to heavy rain. It simply cannot happen due to health and safety reasons which is totally understandable. But then they have to dry the track and re-prep it, which can take up to two hours. Also you have to allow for oil spillages, crashes, timing beams being taken out etc etc. Which soon can get annoying if it happens a lot. Although there is other things to do, watch the live action arena, have a look around the pits, show cars, helicopter flights etc etc. But where as at JAE you don’t have any of those problems and the event can be run in the rain, you can play the PlayStation, chat in the marquee, eat loads of cakes! . So for me personally I’d prefer JAE as I love the event as a whole, and I think it would be a shame for us to stop attending. It’s a shame really because JAE have shot thereselves in the foot and annoyed a lot of customers which isn’t good business!

You’re just jealous Mr Jefferson!

That’s no use to anyone!

It is good value, I still get a good seeing to from Burna. He tells me I'm his favourite!

They look great

Bump, who's coming on Friday?

Looking forward to more updates! I've missed threads like these

Happy days

Can you make sure the bar is open at 3am please!? We like to have late night chats over a few drinks

I've seen the GT86/BRZ mentioned a few times in this thread, I have one so can input on the Subaru FA20 flat four boxer engine. It works well in the GT86/BRZ due to it lower centre of gravity. I wouldn't change it personally as its a very tuneable engine. I wasn't keen at first on the BMW engine in the new supra, but if it's straight six and can offer good tuning potential I think it could work well .

Not good enough, make sure you get a full refund for the "Saturday" delivery!

See...point proven. Not man enough to do the job himself

Suits them both IMO!

Cool guys? Or a pair of fannies in their german cars? Hmmmmm...

Defiantly need to try get a stand, but Santa Pod want payment upfront I believe so people who say they are defiantly interested need to confirm asap. It's a great day out!

I love a pre-dragonball finger, really helps prepare me mentally for the trip.

I don't know what I've done wrong

Tickets purchased

Have you got the price right mate? Lol! £300 seems cheap for a Brembo rear brake kit.

Past few months have been ok.

Bump, who's going Friday?

We are in Essex. But SRD do all our work.

Can't say I've heard it rub, we run BC Coilovers on a medium setting. Suspension was setup by SRD when the wheels were fitted.
