just thought id mention as this was brought up earlier on the RX8ocuk that japfest are having track experiences during all the sessions so 2 professionally drivers will be bombing round at the same time as us which I wasnt impressed about the OC session has now been excluded du to a annoyed phone call pointing out that it breaks there 20 car max rule and dedicated track session agreement.

Lisa · April 26, 2012, 10:43:37 PM

Thanks, we are aware of this from Graham and will be contacting Japfest in the moring regarding this.

Yeah and they were overtaking on the bends last year as well !! :Grrr rules did not seem to apply to them, but then again Japfest has always been dreadful for track etiquette like 10 cars stuck behind 1 slow driver who refuses to move over because hes got a trillion brake horse for the straights but slow through the corners .....then a Redbrick Honda cuts you up! ....still fun ...ish though

They were on the track at Japfest 2 last year - didnt have any problems myself, but certainly saw some questionable overtakes on car ahead of me.

Ive had this on experiance days your driving round in a 500k lambo with a 1k XS trying to enjoy it and they come hairing past on corners without warning I mean they know what there doing so its unlickly there would be an accident but its scares the sh!t out of novices like me.

If anybody did that on a normal open pit lane trackday they would be black flagged and thrown off the circuit.

I did a trackday a couple of weeks before the touring cars at Oulton Park so there was a lot of professional drivers on track practicing the racing line. It was possibly the most courteous trackday I\'ve been on without any issues. So they can do it.
