**TRACKDAY** Brands Hatch Indy, 24 June

[iaint]

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.

J.

Re-reading it seems that there \'may\' be further discount from MSV for a group booking on top of the £20 from MRC.

I think I\'ll book this sooner rather than later though to avoid dissapointment.

Note the noise limit for the day is 105dB(A). This is a static noise test, measured from a position 0.5m behind the exhaust at a 45 degree angle, with the engine running at ¾ maximum revs.

That me out then hahaha im over 105db at idle :rollin
looks a good event though

Noisy bugger.

[Initial-D]

I think I\'ll be up for this one too!
Best keep the external wastegate volume to a minimum - I was 130db last time, but a new silenced mid pipe should have fixed that.

UPDATE

This is looking GREAT, we\'ve got a good sized group of us going along which will make it more fun!

I\'ve been away for a while, but I\'ll be talking to MSV tomorrow (Thursday) to see what they can offer in the way of any extra incentives. I\'ll post back here when I\'ve got more info.

Places are not an issue at the moment.

James B, are you after any instruction, helmet hire, extra drivers/passengers? I think this is the area where we might get some "incentives/discounts". If you let me know the name you booked under, I\'ll see you get added to the group. MSV have offerred us a set of "reserved garages" together, so at least we can be close to chat between track stints. Those of you who\'ve been before will know it\'s a mad scramble to "bag" a garage at BH! It\'s also a long way down the pitlane, so if we get separated at both ends, we won\'t see much of each other during the session!!

I\'ll post up tomorrow, after I\'ve spoken to MSV :cheers

I\'d be interested in tuition too but no helmet or anything else, thanks. Will need to check the date with work too

Casey - have you mentioned this over on FDUK?  If not it\'d be a good idea there are a few track junkies over there too...

Sorry - slight hijack!

For anybody who can\'t make this, there is also a novice track evening at Brands Hatch Indy around the same time. It\'s on the 26/06. £135 inc helmet and tuition, noise limit is 98dba which could be an issue for some. I\'m booked on this so if any other Rex\'s want to turn up... :3gears-rh

Thanks,

[James B]

Casey, you have PM.

James.

[Casey]

^^^^ James, thx for PM and details.

I\'ve spoken to Nick at MSV and he\'s reserved places for EVERYONE on the list at present (15 places of the available 40, including a Monaro which is tagging along), so don\'t worry about that aspect. He\'s included everyone in the "group booking", including James B and IainT.

He\'s also reserving a group of garages together to accommodate us all, as near as possible to the briefing area.

Now Nick has got our list of requirements he is going to see what he can offer in terms of discounts/freebies on any extras.

More details to follow. Payment not normally required until 2-3 weeks before, unless there is a surge of interest.

As there are places still available, and I guess there\'s unlikely to be too many additional MRC/RX8OC people joining up at this time, please feel free to invite any friends along to join in - just add their names to the list, togther with any additional needs.

I\'ll post up some more details as soon as Nick gets back to me

Casey - have you mentioned this over on FDUK?  If not it\'d be a good idea there are a few track junkies over there too...

Ian, great idea. I don\'t frequent the FDUK forum (too many forums to keep up with already :Giggle). But please feel free to point FDUK people to this thread, or copy details over there.

As the event has been advertised on the MRC and RX8OC for some time now, I\'m happy to open it up to FDUK or friends of people on the list. There are a total of 40 places available, and only 6 taken "outside" our group of around 15, leaving 19 places "up for grabs". The more we can fill the gap with rotaries, or friends of rotary owners, the better IMO.

LATEST.......LATEST........LATEST........DISCOUNTS

OK, if we can maintain a group of 10 or more (we\'re lookin\' good for that:Thumbs-up) MSV have agreed to offer 10% off the price of the trackday, so that would mean £129 discounted to £116.10, less the £20 contribution to full MRC members means the cost will be £96.10.

ADDITIONALLY, they\'ve offered a 10% discount off any extras (helmet hire, extra passengers, extra drivers).

HOWEVER, in order to qualify for these discounts it is VITAL YOU DO NOT BOOK DIRECT VIA THE WEBSITE!!.
Regretably, MSV cannot offer discounts to anyone who has already paid via the website.

Further details on how to pay will be provided later.

OK the list as it stands to date;

Casey - yes instruction, no helmet, no xrta passengers, no xtra drivers
Harrizone - no additional requirements
HypoThermia - instruction, helmet
injury_ian - no additional requirements
TRex - 1 x passenger
Compressor
Lesmon - possibly instruction
RedRummy - instruction, helmet
Iaint
James B - no additional requirements
Initial-D - possibly instruction
Andysmee - possibly instruction
JohnVXR (Monaro)
birdy (maybe)
Crissy (maybe)
