UPDATE: I\'ve spoken to MSV this morning and they aren\'t able to offer any discounts on the trackday cost itself (they only discount for groups on FULL days :( ) BUT;

1. They will reserve a sufficient garages together for us to use as a group. For those of you who\'ve not been to BH before, the "grabbing of a garage" is just like the rush to bag seats together on Ryanair flights - not a pretty sight.  It will make socialising between driving stints a lot easier than walking the length of the pitlane.
2. They are willing to consider free/discounted; helmets, extra passengers drivers fees, depending on our requirements.
3. Possible discounted intruction sessions, depending on our requirements

OK, in order to see what can be negotiated, I need everyone\'s requirements asap. Can you please "follow my lead" and add to the list - thx

For those of you with "dual citizenship" :cool of both the MRC and the RX8OC, just stick your requirements on one forum.

The list;
Casey - yes instruction, no helmet, no xrta passengers, no xtra drivers
Harrizone
HypoThermia
injury_ian
TRex  
Compressor
Lesmon
RedRummy
birdy (maybe)
countzero (maybe)
Crissy (maybe)


NON-ROTARY CARS - The numbers of spaces available on the day, and the number of rotary takers so far is such that, if you have friends who would like to join the group (and help us all with possible discounts) then PLEASE ADD THEM TO THE LIST NOW (plse add their car details), together with their requirements.

Any questions :)?

Some people have enquired about trackday insurance. I\'ve asked for a quote from Competition Car Insurance (who offer a discount to those on MSV organised trackdays) and I shall probably get a quote from www.moris.co.uk . I\'m not convinced I\'ll take insurance at this stage, but if it\'s cheap enough I might be tempted.

Once I get the quote(s) I\'ll post some details here, so you can make up your own minds as to whether to get insurance cover.

Brands is not a bad place to be a novice - the indy circuit is short enough to actually begin to learn in a short session.

@RedRummy
Really, you should go!

Getting the intuition (for free!) is what you need :D I went last year, and it was my first track day, nothing to worry about -- go at your own pace. Have short sessions (10-15 laps/mins) at a time, and rest the same in between, think about the next session, and any improvements you can make. :yes :Thumbs-up

You\'re not racing anybody, and you\'ve nothing to proove to anybody other than yourself how well you can learn to take your car smoothly and progressively around the track. :D

You won\'t regret it! I did my first track day at brands indy last year, and quickly followed it up with another session! I would be attending this one too, but will be away on holiday!

Are we supposed to book this, now - or wait until Casey organise all that needs to be organised?

I\'d assumed Casey was going to let us know so we can make use of group discount :)

Aha .......... another case of premature expenditure .........

Are they gonna let us know when the spaces are getting low ......... in my experience no track day is booked until you part with the spondoolies.

I may have misunderstood the thread but I thought the only discount was from MRC.
