***TRACKDAY - Snetterton, Mon 19th Sept ***

[Casey]

Here is the next event in the trackday calendar, following the highly successful event on 6th August at Blyton Park, where we had over 20 RX8OC and MRC members taking their cars on circuit. I would again like to thank everyone for supporting the Blyton event and for making it such a fantastic day out.

So, we are now off to Snetterton; this well known Norfolk circuit has undergone a radical change making it not only longer but largely resurfaced and reprofiled for the modern era. If you\'ve not tried it - this HAS to be your chance! The multi million pound development last winter has resulted in the "300" circuit adding seven new corners ensuring that getting the right line to carry speed down the straights is now even more demanding.

Please note that this day is being promoting this as a "Porsche" event, which means there will be lots of Porsches on track, but this is NOT an exclusive Porsche day, any other car marque is welcome.

Never done a trackday before? As on all trackdays, they are well managed and marshalled. There will be a comprehensive, compulsory, safety briefing at the start of the day for all drivers, followed by some slow “sighting laps” behind a lead car. There will be plenty of experienced trackheads present who will be only too happy give assistance to any novices.

Provisional timings are:
 
  Event Type: Open Pitlane**
  Sign On 7:30 till 8:30  
  Safety Briefing 08.30
  Sighting Laps at 9:00
  Lunch break 12:30 – 13:30
  Finish - 17.00  

** “Open Pitlane” means you are free to drive on the circuit when you like, for as much as you like, subject to safe numbers on circuit. If you have a standard RX-8, then expect to get about 10-15 minutes on track with around 25-30 minutes to “cool-off”, else you, your engine, tyres and brakes will overheat!

Circuit Statistics:
Length: 2.99 miles
Corners: 13
Max Noise: 105dB Static (shouldn’t be a problem for any RX-8 I’ve heard)

THE COST?: We will be booking via "Easytrack" for this event; the public price on their website is £190, but I have negotiated a £40 discount if we can get more than 5 cars to book the day (that\'s a 20+% discount!). Even better, if you are a full MRC member, you can claim back a £20* rebate after the event, so bringing the cost down to just £130, a total saving of £60! What more incentive do you need?! *MRC members are limited to a total of 4 trackday rebates for this year.
REQUIREMENTS: Helmets are required, and you MUST bring along your driving license (both parts if you have them) on the day for inspection.
PAYMENT FOR THIS EVENT: Payment can be made via the "BOOK NOW" link on this Easytrack webpage, where you will also find further details of the day that I urge you to read.
You will need to register your email and address details on the Easytrack website, then, at the checkout, use the magic code "case" (lower case and without the quotes) to get your £40 discount!
EXTRA DRIVERS: Normally there is a charge for 2nd drivers but as we are bringing a group along, 2nd drivers will be FREE of charge.
PASSENGERS: Also FREE for this event.
GARAGES: Normally there would be a charge for these, but we will be allocated garages FREE of charge, so don\'t book any of these on the Easytrack booking form!
INSURANCE: Insurance is not compulsory, but your normal road insurance is unlikely to cover you. Please look at the separate “Trackday Insurance” thread for advice and make your own judgement.
INSTRUCTION: Easytrack have professionally qualified instructors available; £30 for one session (~20mins on track). These can be booked in advance, or on the day.
LOCAL ACCOMMODATION: Some people may want to stay locally the night before, the night after, or even both! If anyone knows the area and any good places to stay, then please let me know. There is a list of local accommodation HERE
