***TRACKDAY*** Cadwell Park 26 June

[Casey]

Will this be suitable for all track abilities including first timers?

Sorry J T, I missed your post. It\'s for all abilities. As it\'s likely to be an all Mazda day there\'ll be plenty of people to give advice and look after you. I\'m sure one of us would be happy to go out as a passenger with you on your first outing, if you wanted.

There will be a very full briefing at the start of the day and you\'ll be able to drive your car around behind a "pace car", where the "racing lines" will be demonstrated, before the event starts.

IMHO, this is probably a better day for a newbie to lose their track virginity than advertised "public, novice" trackdays . There will be a lot of club members around, instead of a mixed group of novice strangers in all sorts of vehicles.

It\'s an "Open Pitlane" format, which means you can go out when you like, for as long as you like, at the discretion of the marshalls, who will limit the number of cars on circuit to a safe number. You\'ll find you probably won\'t be able to stay out for more than 15-20 minutes before you\'ll need to come into the pits for the brakes, your engine, and yourself to cool off.

Nearer the date I\'ll post a set of "trackday tips" we\'ve developed over a the past couple of years.

If you\'ve not been on a trackday before, this is a great opportunity to enjoy your car at speed in safety, with no cameras in sight.

Please bear in mind there is a noise limit of 105dB, so if you have a loud exhaust you may need the sound level checked. You will need a helmet, but these are available for hire on the day for around £10. There are no special clothing requirements unless driving an open-top car.

Cheers for the info Casey. I\'ve only ever been out with my mate in the MX-5 he used to have so any advice will be appreciated

Sounds good for me then as its my first track day.

Probably best bet is for us to go to Oulton at a trackday and get it tested properly. My meter is only a guide.

I\'ve just found this youtube vid of a Golf Mk1 doing some laps. What an awesome circuit!

I have put myself down as a possible, I have a trackday next Friday and if the car is still in one piece I\'ll change that to a definite. With my luck with trackdays and cars breaking I\'m taking them one at a time

Good plan that shaun, gives us an excuse for another meet too
Would be just a little annoying to turn up and be told i\'m too loud to go on track

[shaunwil]

Next track day at Oulton is Friday 15th May.
