***TRACKDAY, Brands Hatch Indy, Fri 1st Dec 2017***

[Casey]

Early Bird places are currently priced at £125 (as at 6 Feb) - see the link below to book asap. This is a very popular event, hosted by the great team at Mazdaontrack, and always sells out months before the day. There is a limit on the number of cars to 60 maximum, which worked very well last year, giving plenty of tracktime with minimal pit-lane queues. Book early (like I have!) to avoid disappointment   

For those of you who haven't been to this event before, it has become a bit of a tradition really, although not quite on the scale or prestige of Wimbledon    It has been a regular event in the club calendar since 2008. Harrizone/Rote8 and Casey have attended every December Brands Hatch day since then

Newcomers to trackdays are very welcome; please be aware that the track can be a little cold, wet and greasy at this time of the year, so can be more challenging (and more fun) to drive  Luckily, we've often been blessed with cool, but bight, sunny days, where most of the track dries out and warms up a bit by late morning.

We should be able to offer a "Buddy" to anyone who requests one. This means you will be assigned an experienced trackday driver who will stay with you from the very start of the day until you are happy to unite the knot.  The Buddy can help you as much or as little as you want; help with checking your car, signing on, noise testing, getting to the briefing, passenger laps (you driving, and/or Buddy driving to show lines), etc. I always recommend people new to the track also book a "formal" tuition slot, 20 mins with a qualified instructor for ~£30. Great value for money if you are new to trackday driving.

Nearer the date I will ask if anyone wants to stay nearby for a meal to avoid leaving the area on a Friday rush -hour!
