Title: ***TRACKDAY - Japfest 2 Donington Park, Sun 17 Aug ***
Post by: Casey on May 11, 2014, 08:37:13 PM
Like last year, Japfest 2 are running an Open Pit Lane format trackday during the event. You can book via THIS LINK (http://www.japfest2.co.uk/2014/01/31/japanese-only-track-time/). I\'ve booked a full day session at £179, plus a garage share at £10. Note there is also a £1.90 transaction fee.

This was an excellent trackday last year on an exceptionally hot day - the garage providing some much needed shelter from the sun!

This is some video taken by Dave-B last year in his RX-8;

NOTE: All tracktime places shown as "SOLD OUT" on 30 June 2014 - but keep a watch on the Japfest thread as they may release more tracktime (it has happened several times!).

Hotel: I\'m staying at the Premier Inn, Asby-de-la-Zouch on the Saturday night. I booked it early at £31, but it\'s now £58. Another option is a closer Premier Inn, at East Midlands Airport, currently £53.

Sorry Dave - no chance, it\'s 100dBA static, 98dBA drive by. Same as Castle Combe. Most tracks are 105dBA, so 111dBA is very loud and won\'t get you in to any trackay I know of in the UK :o

Hi Tim, thanks for bumping the thread, it reminded me I hadn\'t updated the list with some extra takers over on the RX8OC. We\'ve got quite a group now!

As you popped up on here with your first ever post I\'ve added you to the list :Thumbs-up I\'m guessing you can\'t be all bad if you are lurking on a rotary car forum ;)

Seriously, I like MX-5\'s, but not as much as my rotaries. Look forward to seeing you at Donington :D

Hi Malcolm

Is there any spaces left??

I have left it too late to book direct and it is now sold out:Hammer,  so if not can I be first reserve if anyone is unable to go?

^^ Sorry Clive, it\'s still showing "SOLD OUT" :(

I\'ve added a "Reserve List" to the first post here and I\'ll do the same on the RX8OC - you never know, you might get lucky :)

Malcolm,

I can\'t get on the RX8OC forum at the moment to add myself to the Reserve list so I did it on here... just in case someone has to drop out at the last minute.

Cheers,

Is anyone just going as a spectator and parking their car in the grounds?

Donnington Japfest 2 all day track time available.

Unfortunately I have to withdraw from this event leaving an all day track time pre paid.
I am happy to offer this to the reserve list.

Please PM or message via the forum if your interested in purchasing this track time at a reasonable reduced value.
Chris
