***Japfest 2012 Tracktime***

[Casey]

This is the wrong place but anyone meeting up and convoying il be coming from wycombe way I know there is always groups from the rx8 oc but thought it would be a good idea to stick with fellow MRC stand peeps.

Probably a little bit early for this one. However, why not start up a separate thread with a proposal for a rendezvous point (or points) and meeting times and others will undoubtly post up?

There is a dedicated convoy section HERE but it might need the occasional bump to ensure people see it.

There may also be, like me, a lot of people staying very near the circuit the night before to avoid an insanely early start from home on the day :Giggle

That\'s fair enough. Just bought a 14:24 session. hopefully it wont be too close and im sure i\'ll be able to sell it if push comes to shove.

I\'m out at 14:24 as well......colt gti or rexy decisions decisions? :3gears-rh

[Casey]

WE HAVE OUR TRACK TIME ALLOCATIONS!!

I cannot guarantee that Japfest won\'t change these timings, but it\'s the best we have to go on for the moment.

Full session    Time   Club(s)
Session A   9.00am   Mazda Rotary Club
Session H   11.24am   Mazda Rotary Club

I must stress (again) that these timings are provisional and are subject to change by the Japfest organisers. Don\'t go planning your day around them just yet :Giggle

Dan, not sure yet, depends when we get them. If they are available when Lisa sends out the tickets and stand passes then I guess we\'ll send out before the event. If not available in time, then collect on the day.

[Goopyperformance]

We would like to visit the UK or any rotary event in Europe this year.
I wish we could have made it for Japanese but scheduled conflict with other local events.


Hopefully you guys will all get to Rotor-stock and meet up then or keep us posted on the next largest rotary gathering.

RX-8 Track Sessions
Session O
Briefing Time 12:20
Track Time:13:48

If anyone can no longer attend the track sessions that they have paid for as above, please let me or Lisa know as soon as possible as we may be able to reallocate your place.

IMPORTANT - FOR THOSE IN THE 9.00am SESSION it would seem sensible to proceed directly to the soundtest area (if open) and then to the pitlane queuing area - near the passenger bridge, it should be signposted. If you park up there and let the officials know you are in the 9.00am session then this should be fine. You can then go to the sign-on desk and the briefing at 8.10am. By the time this is completed and you return to your car we should be moved into the pit area ready for entry to the track at 9.00am. If you attempt to go to the MRC or RX8OC stand areas on entry to the circuit and then try to get to the pitlane entry you will find yourself going against all the traffic and people entering the event on the single track road. With this in mind, it might be sensible to put the TRACKTIME "TT" event pass in your windscreen on the way into the circuit, USE GATE A and NOT the stand pass as the marshalls will hopefully then direct you to the pitlane area instead of the stand.

That\'s my advice, but we\'ll have to "wing it" on the day

[Casey]

It is entirely possible that, over the next few days, at least one car may have a problem, resulting in having to withdraw from the track session(s). This being the case, if there is anyone who is interested in picking up places that become available last minute would they please PM me their mobile number, which session(s) they could take and I will contact you if a place becomes available. This may well happen very last minute, so it would be prudent to make any car preparations "just in case". There is no guarantee, but I think the probabilty is quite high.

Should this situation arise, I will pass over the track papers on the day itself and collect £20 or £30 payment for the place, as appropriate, to pass on to the driver who has had to withdraw.

I was planning to arrive as early as possible so I can empty the boot at the club stand before heading to the tracktime area for sound test etc.

But I think "wing it" on the day sounds like the only idea...
:Thumbs-up


Any idea what time we can start to arrive at the circuit??

Ah! - very good point, not good to go on track with all the gear on board. Hmm, looks like we\'ll have to arrive as soon as the gates open and dump stuff on the club stand before heading back to the pitlane before the briefing at 8.10am. Not sure if the gates open at 7.00 or 7.30am. I\'ll try and find out and post up on here.....
