Poll: OcUK Trackday?

[-Neil-]

Almost a year since the last one we had at Donny, just after a few thoughts and ideas for one in the new year maybe?

Track?
When?
Interested?

I'm up for any track within 3hrs of here. When, not that fussed, but I'd rather wait for the weather to warm a little.

Thruxton!! Now i have the Prelude i would be up for it

 

[Fireskull]

Shame you cant do joint car and bike trackdays.

if its anything like pgr4 i can understand why

 

[DreXeL]

Combe!!

 

[hominid]

I'd be up for one but I'm on the south coast so probably a bit out of the way for the rest of the country.

I've already done a trackday at Brands Hatch and it was a very well run day, I'd like to try Castle Combe next but will consider tracks 2 1/2- 3H away.

ROFL i should hope RL aint like a game lol, and can safely say that unlike PGR4 if a car rammed into the side of me i would not just bouce off and keep going

Donington end of Feb is always good, winter rates and weather is better.

 

[Gibbo]

Donnington!

 

[TomO]

Brands or Bedford!

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Was just loooking at the circuits on google earth, and Rockingham has a car reversing out of the gravel trap

 

[GreenMint]

I'd be up for Donnington if you wouldn't mind a Trackday Virgin with a 1.6 110hp car

 

[spaz]

Bedford!!

 

[jimblowscash]

Donny was great back in January, would love to go again plus I've got one of those vouchers that means it would only cost me £30 for the day

I've never done a track day.

What are they like on tires and brakes? Is it wise to drive down as-is and drive back afterwards? I assume a lot of people probably do and don't attack the track that hard, however I knowing me I'm bound to find it hard to take it "easy".

 

[Simon]

Its fine if you don't crash.

Most people drive there and back. Donington isn't too hard on the tyres either in my experience. As long as you cool the car down after each session and make sure oil is topped up then you won't have an issues.

Donington is in the Midlands.
