RAF Marham Track Day - Sunday 2nd September 2007

Recommended Posts

OK ladies and gents, I have been told that RAF Marham will be holding the next Track Day on Sunday the 2nd September 2007.

 

But, first of all:

 

  • This information is NOT to be passed on to other forums, as its is invite ONLY
  • We have been allocated 20 places.
  • All details (as listed below) are to be passed on to myself by 2nd August, at the latest. Any passed on to me after that date, you will not be allowed to attend.
  • Pay in advance (£60)
  • Only car that drive on the track, will be allowed to attend, so no bringing your "mate in their car/back up car" we just dont have the space

 

The Cut-off date is in place so that all people attending can be vetted as you will be on a military base

 

I know that the poeple who attended the last one, enjoyed it - I did and I didnt drive!

 

The track uses a combination of the airfield's main runway and taxiways, which for the benefit of new members and those who couldn't make it before, results in a track that is around 4 miles long of wide, smooth tarmac and concrete with bags of safe run offs - as a whole, the shape is roughly triangular, but with the width of the runway and taxiway there is ample scope to create everything from sweeping curves to chicanes and there are plenty of curvy bits to add to the challenge.

 

It will run to the same sort of timings as before, from around 10 am to 4pm on the Sunday, with six 30-minute sessions. All being well, they will probably look to combine later sessions to run longer, open pit lane sessions. As before, all the necessary facilities, such as toilets, catering, drinks, marshalling and medical cover to support the event will be on hand.

 

You will need a helmet, normal seat belts as a minimum. A Fire Extinguisher would be nice. Race suits are not needed, but preferably natural fibre clothing with full sleeves and legs. Cars must be road legal with a current MOT or, if a race vehicle, licensed for a current MSA series. Sharing a car is OK (i.e. alternating drivers between sessions) and drivers are allowed to carry passengers, but they must also comply with regard to helmet, clothing etc. The entry fee is per car entered, not per driver but all drivers and passengers will need to sign a disclaimer. Spectating is not a possibility unless the individual is coming to assist someone who is driving - the reason for this is quite simple - the event insurance premiums and Health & Safety requirements go through the roof astronomically otherwise, so by restricting it to participants and assistants, it makes the event manageable, safer, more relaxed and enjoyable and importantly keeps the cost down to you.

 

 

As those who have been before know, the atmosphere and event is relaxed, enjoyable and relatively safe. So, for those who wish to gather to exercise their steeds, classic or modern, in the way that was intended when they were built, this will be available again for the incredibly good value of £60 for the Sunday.

 

The usual personal and vehicle details (full name, address, date and place of birth, vehicle type and registration number) will be needed to access RAF Marham which can be passed to myself"

 

Just make sure, I will require the following from yourselves

 

  • Full Name
  • Place Of Birth
  • Date Of Birth
  • Car Make/Type
  • Car Registration Number

 

It maybe possible to have a reserve list for incase people drop out, however, the cut-off date STILL applies, and again I will need the details as above.

 

Once the list has been finalised, the Track Day Info Packs will be sent out.

 

So, there you go. As a reminder, I am the POC for this event on this forum, and thankyou to those who have passed on there interest/details

 

What I will also say, that RAF Marham IS an operational RAF station, supporting assets overseas, SO is may be possible that the event could be cancelled at short notice.

 

If you have any more questions please get in touch with me.

Si, do you need all my details again or do you still have them?

 

Any news on the DVD/CD from the last one?

 

Best if you do, so I can start from scratch... Pic CD is done, DVD is another 4 weeks or so. They'll be sent out at the same time.
