Oh crap....
 
I\'ve had to send my drivers licence (photocard and paper) off for it to be renewed and it\'s going to take a fortnight for the wonderous people at the DVLA to do anything about it. Sensibly I took a copy of my photocard is that going to be enough?
 
:2Mad I can feel the stress levels rising again!
Lil-Steve is.... loving it when a plan comes together.

Better check with nick.dougill@mazdaontrack.co.uk to see if this will be a problem. I hope it won\'t be!

Neil - weather forecast, rats, I\'m hoping that is so long range that it will be wrong. My tyres are down to about 3mm all round. I have a new set to put on, but was hoping to finish off this set at Cadwell and change afterwards.  I\'d be happy with them in the dry, but not too keen if it\'s wet! Might have to get the tyres changed just before the trip up if it is going to be wet :mad:

I wouldn\'t worry too much casey as light rain doesn\'t sound like any standing water will be about. Unless the forecast gets worse I\'ll be coming on semi-slick trackday tyres. Problem will probably be the changing conditions though.

Casey

^^^ I\'m optimistic the weather forecast will improve the nearer we get to the day!

OK, thought I\'d throw together a "Briefing Pack" which might come in handy for some of us. Apologies for the trackday vets if it\'s a bit simplistic, I\'ve aimed it more or the newcomer, but I hope everyone finds something useful in there. If anyone thinks I\'ve missed anything, then please let me know. I\'ll keep developing this pack for future trackdays.

I\'ve written it forom my experience with an RX-8, so if there are useful RX-7 specific things to include (ie Neil must always pack spare hoses in case of water leak:Giggle) then let me know via PM, or on this thread.
