attilauk Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Saturday April 22nd its basically a pay and play track day, you turn up and pay per 15 minute track session. they hold around 4 a year and they are always brilliant fun, even if you dont go on track there is a huge variety of cars on track and there are loads of club stands to look around. its too late to book a club stand now but it would be great to see some more Supras there, now i've sold mine i need someone else to fly the Supra flag and show everyone what a REAL car can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Atilla, How much is it per session, and what do you normally have to take with you (MOT, insurance, Helmet?). BTW I am doing a Lancia Track day at Goodwood on Saturday , so could be interested in doing more of this if I get hooked!! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J £30 a session normally but if you follow the link mr lover posted you can pre-book track time cheaper, you can hire a helmet on the day but if you have one it would be easier if you brought it, the other thing you should bring is the bung for your RSR they are very strict on their noise regs (100db @ 4500rpm taken 1/2 a metre from the exhaust) mine used to just fail without the bung (but was around 93db with it in) believe me its great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I used to goto these a few years back, I gave up when the chavs invaded with their ill prepared cars and over estimated driving skills, saw far to many accidents. Has the driving standard improved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 it has been a lot better over the last couple of years, you still get some prats but you can spot them a mile off and stay out of their way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr lover Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 do you think a decatted tt would be too loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 do you think a decatted tt would be too loud? if you've got a bung for your exhaust then you should be ok, the guys there will be happy to test your car to see if you pass before you buy any track time they will even test your car before the event if you phone up and ask them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lust2luv Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Anyone going to this? Weather looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Did anyone elso go along to this? Saw 3 or 4 other mkivs there. The track action was non-stop but didn't see any real incidents to talk of - a few near misses and lots of spins though. Had a few nice Jap cars there, but nothing very impressive, other than a Gallardo. Here are some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I was there, Parked near the Honda stand, opposite the Mini club. Had a good day, didn't get on the track but had plenty of fun watching the a couple of the shabby looking Minis dominating some of the bigger machines!

lust2luv Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The red NSX got overtaken by a mini I think. Fastest car of the day I saw was a black Evo that was flying around the bends. Notice the tow hook on the MSB Supra.. not the first to have one of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Unfortunately I had to wait in all day Saturday waiting for a new passport to arrive, or I'd have been up there, probably just watching though. Was hoping it would arrive early morning, but nope - 5PM. Whole day wasted!! (at least I can go on holiday now though) seems you had a good day.

Fearless Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 do you think a decatted tt would be too loud? I was there the day before (Friday 21st) they had a track day, my decatted tt was probably the quietest car there. I wish I had known about the Spring Action Day before I booked though, I let my son drive too so instead of getting one session every hour I was doing 2! one with me driving and one sitting in with him. We were both cream cracker-ed by 3pm and cut the day short. Not only that but some plonker in a Metro lost it on the corner just in front of me and ploughed into my nearside wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
