wez_p Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 is this all still appropriate for auto Supras or aimed at manuals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Definately up for this!! What's the Supe booked in for G?? Interested... Supe is booked in to KnightRacer on the 28th for a week ! I realise that you won't be able to cater for everybodys free weekends, so if we miss this one we will catch the next... may be nearer !

I haven't been to this airfield yet, but I understand there's loads of space, so maybe... PM me your background, what you've done/can do, driving/instructing qualifications...I don't mean to be funny, but if I put together a training day, I don't want to run the risk of people coming to me afterwards and saying "What's with that guy? He doesn't know what he's doing..." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 is this all still appropriate for auto Supras or aimed at manuals? Whatever you've got mate. It's all about learning to use and make the most of what you've got. There was at least one auto last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Mac Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Either July or August should be ok for me. Will be able to do more of a diary check when I get home in 2 weeks time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Any more news on this? Am definately interested. My track experience is: Castle Combe driver day (Ford Focus & Formula Ford) Lancia Integrale track day @ Goodwood (approx 30 laps) Lancia Integrale track action @ Castle Combe (approx 5 laps) Supra Pod Hope you get enough people wanting to do this. I think I can do any weekend in July or August at the moment (and possibly days too as I've got holiday to take) J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd be up for this to, done a couple of track days in a Caterfield, but I can't bring myself to apply the training to the Soop - and I'd love a day to explore it safely. I'd like a go at drifting too, Don't s'pose there is a quiet area in the airfield where this could be set up too? Anyone on here fancy being the instructor? Learning to drift on the roads just sounds like asking for trouble to me - but I'd like to know how to do it and what it feels like. I know what to do, just can't/haven't/won't at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd also be interested in this too. August dates would be better for me tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 no-one fancy stepping up to be the drifting instructor then?? Is there an area for that sort of stupidity at this location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Im in, any idea on dates yet, as I work shifts and may need to book some time off........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 OK, now I'm back from my holiday I'm going to get back on top of this. Right now, I'm looking at dates in August (18th or 19th), so there should be plenty of time available to get this arranged. I've taken note that several people have asked for drifting lessons, and I know a professional instructor who covers drifting and might be interested in joining in (no promises yet).

Ark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well, having identified a particular weekend, nobody has come forward and said whether that's good for them or not, or whether they would prefer the Saturday or Sunday. I can't afford to gamble £1200 to book the day and have nobody else turn up - been there before, and I don't like being broke for the rest of the year! I need some people to come forward and preferably pony up some cash deposits before we can get definite. I did check out the option of drifting instruction though - these guys don't teach drifting, and there wouldn't be enough space for that at the same time as the rest of the skills. I do know someone who teaches drifting professionally (amongst other disciplines) so maybe that's one for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I wouldnt mind paying a deposit if needed. Not too interested in drifting anyway, just the skills training mentioned in the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Can you have 2 drivers for 1 car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yes, but the cost is the same per person, because each of you will be getting the same amount of time with the instructor. Best to bring the second person in a second car even if it is a shitter, so they can get as much free-driving time as you do. You can still swap cars during the day that way.

gaz1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 bugger i am on holiday from the 11th of august for 2 weeks:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Cheer up Gaz - If there aren't enough people, this date won't be happening and we can try another time. I would say that I'd like to get it in during the summer to get the best chance with the weather, but with recent conditions....who knows.

jaymdee Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 18/19 August fine for me I hope you can get enough people to want to do it. Didn't see your post with the dates as I've been away with work & then hols, so missed loads of stuff on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My mate (mikky B on this site) said he wanted to go as well. He's got a r34 skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
