I'm going to see if my insurance covers me.

I also need to check that I am officially a novice. I've never done a track day in my own car, but I have been to the palmersport day three times.

Helmet hire is £10 by the way. I have a big head so I need an XL

Cost?
Where?
When?

When is confirmation needed?

Is it purely a BMW day or just a normal trackday? Information needed I could be well up for this depending. If it's a PH'ers day I will certainly be attending

Though will also need to run the MG for a couple of weeks before I confirm just to make sure everything is right!

May know someone else who is interested too!!

So information please Sure it's been posted before but I can't be bothered to look through 7 pages

This may help anyone wanting to stay at a Travelodge -

Need to book 21 days in advance though, so need to get your helmets in gear.

Thanks Will, well found!

The best deal I could find is at Cambridge Swavesey (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_a...hp?hotel_id=20) which is £29 per night on 28th and 29th August, so £58 if we stay the Thursday night before the track day and the Friday before UK6

The £19 discounted rooms will all be at the little roadside hotels out in the sticks. They will also tend to be for unpopular nights (e.g. Sunday and Monday).

The logic is that Travelodge are better of having these rooms full at a low price than empty. They operate with a very high occupancy, so they won't discount rooms that they can fill (i.e. any rooms in a decent location Tues - Sat nights). The £19 deals are for the 5% or so of rooms that might otherwise stand empty.

If you are going to stay near Cambridge, you'd be better of paying extra and going to Cambridge Central.

There is absolutely f*ck all to do at Swavesey, but at Central you can walk straight into town.

NFS - i suggest you/Carlos dont tell them you've done any track days - that way you go in as a novice and hopefully we get the numbers up to ten, get a garage/s and the 10% discount etc!
Paul - i know Baris from Evo (red e46 m3) - he is a friend of mine - he text me last night and said he did Snetterton last week - so he may not be up for doing another one so soon?? Worth Carlos asking him though if he has his number. Also, Baris knows a lot of guys with m3's etc and some of them may well be up for this too.
Carlos - ive got quite a few helmets now - my latest and favourite is a Shoei X-Spirit Norick Abe race rep - but ive got a couple of Arai RX-7 Corsairs which are awsome lids - the one im lending Paul if it fits is an Arai Cathcart rep.

NFS is right, swavesey travelodge is not that nice. The one in town is newer, has a safe car park and only was built 2 odd years ago.

Bailey, ive only done one trackday ever.

Swaveney is only £58 for 2 nights! Cambridge Central is £140 for two nights!!

Staying at Swaveney does not stop us driving into Cambridge or and driving somewhere else to meet for a meal and a few bevvies...
