Ok, I\'ve booked my place for this Track day
 
Just need to book the Hotel.
 
I hope there will be the opportunity to have some guidance/tuition from the RX drivers on the day.

:Thumbs-up Chris, excellent, that\'s three of us booked up already.

I\'ll be posting up a "Briefing Document" about 2-3 weeks before the event to ensure everyone has the basic information they need for the day. Look back at the Cadwell thread and you can see the one I prepared for Cadwell. The Mallory briefing will be very similar.

On the day itself, just ask me, or anyone else who\'s done trackdays before for any advice. If you need very specific RX-7 advice, then best don\'t ask me, they\'ll be plenty of others who can help with more tailored advice. Please post up here any pre-event questions (or PM me) and we\'ll all be moer than happy to help.

I\'m not sure if you\'ve done a trackday before? If not, you\'ll get a full briefing and several slow "sighting laps" before the day starts proper. If, after that, you want to go out as a passenger with me, or someone else with an RX-7, before your first solo session, then that\'s no problem. Someone could sit in with you on your first track session of the day to give advice if you wanted.

As well as that, there is possibly a FREE 20 min tuition session available from Phil at Circuit-Days (this was on offer at Cadwell), plus paid-for 20 min tuition sessions from Nick (or colleague) at MOT. I can throughly recommend taking one of these sessions as I find I always learn something from them.

Insurance for the day is an often asked question. Insurance is not a requirement, but your road insurance won\'t cover you.  If you are considering cover, start with REIS, as they offer trackday insurance at reasonable rates cf others in the market, and recent experience of them handling a claim for another MRC member has been exemplary.

If you chose the "no refund option", and book through the link above, then B&B works out a very reasonable £49 for a double room (with single occupancy). Look carefully for the £49 option, as the other options ARE very expensive!

Just booked the day :)
No need for a hotel as I live in Hinckley anyway.
 
Looking forward to this :D

I shall see you there on the morning.  Mallory will be fun in the 8!

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!

:wiggle Excellent Mark.

Only just realised you lived in Hinckley! Easy trip for you then.

Is your brother coming along? If so, sharing your car, or bringing his own?

Very easy :D
Not sure yet.  Not looking great at the moment as he has just had to replace clutch and is now a bit skint (especially since we are doing banger rally at end of August as well).  Although he really didn\'t need to buy an ORC clutch as his replacement :2Rolleyes
He will probably come and have a drive of mine anyway :)

Anyone know how strict they are on noise at mallory, should really be getting an extra silencer in and won\'t have by this date. Got 112db at 6k at cadwell which is what he wanted me to rev to then retested at 104db at 4.5k and he let me on.

When I went with my brother back in April I didn\'t even notice a noise tester.  I think they are pretty relaxed.  I will ask around as well, just to make sure.
