I could be interested, depending on dates.

Good to meet and chat to you at the Brooklands event last week.

Cheers

This sounds great, come on Team MRC sort this as a MRC/FDUK Rotary Track Weekend Meet, mag photo shoot as well and all for charity.

We do a Drag weekend so why not a Track weekend.

Quality idea.:Party

well what we need is the numbers to make it viable, I will get some dates and then we can go from there, much better to have an all jap or all rotary. Obviously this could be something quite big if we wanted to.  In September I am helping to organise a World rally car weekend, we are hoping to raise about 100k from this, all the top world drivers will be present and all in aid of the Richard Burns Foundation. Even Richard burn\'s father will drive his first mk1 escort he used to rally in.  It all ends in a rather large formal dinner (invited only) and a T in the park band style concert with a top band performing. There was talk of a Top gear v 5th Gear competition as well and it will be fully televised.  Once the final plans are in if its open to the public i will let you all know as this will be something definately not to miss.  They are also going to do a stage around the Kings Lynn Arena.  More details will follow as and when and again this could end up as another of the cuff rotary meet and again all for charity.

Mark, Rob,

MRC is going to Japfest next week (with a very poor turnout so far)  and from what I can understand the only limitation on your car is the noise limit to stop you getting out on track for some fun.

More details here

Nice, I will look out for your car there. This being my first trackday I will be in the beginners session. It would be good to get some tips.

A £60 track event! I would be interested. Have decided I am going to spend the little money I have on fuel and driving instead of upgrades. (Well this year at least). :Viking

I have got most of what I need already including 2 instructor sessions booked. But it would be good to get your input on this too. Anything that will make be drive better is appreciated.



Quick question while I remember.. I have a set of good but worn tyres with about 1mm of tread. Will I be able to use them on the track and is there anywhere I can leave my legal tyres while I drive?

I use a 2nd set of wheels aswell. Ill get a garage when i get there and save you the adjacent 1 so look for my black beauty when you arrive. Aslong as you\'re happy to use the tyres then its fine.

Any more questions feel free to ask. Mob 07515663247. Andy

[Philo]

An adjacent garage would be good. Am glad the track provides garages, I did wonder what people did with their stuff while they were driving. Will see you in a few days time Andy.

RAF Marham track day in October. Think its weekend 4/5 Oct so let me know how many are interested.  I will let you know the prices but its around £100 for both days or £60 for single.  Pretty much anything goes, no noise limits and its a big wide open airfield with coned off corners etc.  not much you can hit.  There are a few dirty areas but mainly extremly small bits of stone/dust, its ok if you are not directly behind a car at that point.  I will get onto the organisers as this has been an issue for a couple of years now.

Will post up details when I get them.  If you want to stay over then there are a few cheap places to stay, let me know and I will do some digging for you.

All money goes to charity.
