Another opportunity for an Open Pit Lane** at Snettertom. This is being run by NickD and the friendly team at Mazdaontrack, so you know you will be well looked after.
The sticker price is £249, details HERE (http://www.mazdaontrack.co.uk/snetterton-300---saturday-8th-march-2014--full-opl-605-p.asp)
HOWEVER, Mazdaontrack are offering a Club discount of £50, bringing the price down to £199. As an extra bonus, the first extra driver is also INCLUDED in the price.
This is a Saturday event, with a limit of around 70 cars, most of which are likely to be MX5\'s, as half the places are being taken by the MX5OC. So, it will be a great day, with the majority of the cars being similarly powered and little or no pit lane queues due to the restricted numbers. This is therefore well suited to those new to trackdays, as well as regulars.
Never done a trackday before? As on all trackdays, they are well managed and marshalled. There will be a comprehensive, compulsory, safety briefing at the start of the day for all drivers, followed by some slow “sighting laps†behind a lead car. There will be plenty of experienced trackheads present who will be only too happy give assistance to any novices.
** “Open Pit Lane†means you are free to drive on the circuit when you like, for as much as you like, subject to safe numbers on circuit. If you have a standard RX-8, then expect to get about 10-15 minutes on track with around 25-30 minutes to “cool-offâ€, else you, your engine, tyres and brakes will overheat!
Circuit Statistics:
Length: 2.99 miles
Corners: 13
Max Noise: 105dB Static (shouldn’t be a problem for any RX-8 I’ve heard)
REQUIREMENTS: Helmets are required, and you MUST bring along your driving license (both parts if you have them) on the day for inspection.
PAYMENT FOR THIS EVENT: please PM me for details of the discount code for this event.
INSURANCE: Insurance is not compulsory, but your normal road insurance is unlikely to cover you. Please look at the separate “Trackday Insurance†thread for advice and make your own judgement.
INSTRUCTION: Will be available on the day
