e90post Track Day (Fri 29th August): Photos p24

booforty · 07-08-2008, 10:18 AM

Did see that - yes seems pricey compared to others and its only the Indy circuit but its an option

Are there any at Bedford?

Porscha! · 07-08-2008, 10:33 AM

Boo - Check the Evo trackday at Bedford Friday 22nd August - http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/tr...ProductID=3838

I arrive back from a holiday in Cyprus that very morning (Aug 22nd) at 03.55am - ouch! But if thats the very only date that becomes doable then i would consider it. Can anyone do anything this month (July) ???

dxb335d · 07-08-2008, 12:00 PM

id consider it.

Porscha! · 07-08-2008, 12:13 PM

End of July is good for me

booforty · 07-08-2008, 05:59 PM

22nd Aug is bank holiday weekend and I'm away

Hoops · 07-11-2008, 02:29 PM

Been away on business for last 2 days. Are we any closer to agreeing on a date!!!!?

Porscha! · 07-11-2008, 02:32 PM

I don't think so! I'm still interested if I still have the MX, if I don't I doubt I'll come unless I get either a 944 or a working E30, otherwise it looks like I'm going classic again, don't think the car would cope

Yellow Snow · 07-12-2008, 01:16 AM

I like the sound of this.

Bigamos · 07-12-2008, 01:55 AM

I might attend from Northern Ireland, as I love English Track Days.....!

booforty · 07-15-2008, 05:52 AM

I asked Carl to sniff out a August date at Bedford...

dxb335d · 07-15-2008, 06:49 AM

Will be posting up soon guys, watch this space!!!

Porscha! · 07-15-2008, 12:30 PM

Watching it......nothing appeared as yet!

dxb335d · 07-15-2008, 01:27 PM

Man giv a brother some space huh. Cn you not wait till tomorrow?

Hoops · 07-15-2008, 02:40 PM

There is the Evo track day at Bedford on Aug 22nd - but im not sure i will make that as i arrive home from holiday at 4am that day. Does it have to be Bedford???

booforty · 07-16-2008, 03:25 AM

Can't do 22nd Aug

I thought Bedford sounded good as it has lots of grass run-off areas unlike some circuits

Steve A · 07-16-2008, 04:28 AM

personnally i think it should be at donnington. The circuit is MEGA and its more central UK so easier access to most members

Hoops · 07-16-2008, 12:58 PM

I would LOVE to do Donnington - done it on my bike and its amazing!!!

Bigamos · 07-16-2008, 02:19 PM

Donnington hold there own Track Days....

http://www.donington-park.co.uk/trac...rack-zone-cars

Why not set a date in Sept and see how we get on......

booforty · 07-17-2008, 03:08 AM

I've heard the Donington track days are timed rather than open pit-lane... Would be nice to have open pit-lane so that we are free to enjoy as we please and get more track time for our £££'s

Hoops · 07-17-2008, 09:56 AM

Ive never done a car track day so it may well be slightly different - but i do a lot of bike track days and on the non open pit lane days they split the riders into beginners/novice, intermediate and advanced - so 3 groups - and to be honest i did Brands yesterday and each group got four 20 min sessions in before lunch and 5 after lunch - and i personally feel this is as much track time as you need and i was knackered riding back home!!! As i said it may well be different when it comes to cars and is obviously not quite as exhausting. And at least you dont have to wear leathers in a car!!! Unless you are feeling a little kinky that day!!?? Anyway - i dont mind doing open or timed pit lane set up - i just want to do a bloody track day - anything!!!!!!

booforty · 07-17-2008, 10:02 AM

Its the fact that you get called off the track after 20 mins just when you might be getting into a rhythm and starting to improve your times. An open pit-lane would be ideal and the best value for money too
