OcUK Trackday: Donnington 8th May 2013: £177.50 - CANCELLED!!!!

Am I too late to book for this?

If not, please put me down as a definite and I can send the cash over to you tomorrow morning.

Mx5 1.8 Mk2.5

Dont pay until I request please. :)

This now gives us 10 runners, are the other runns still 110% in and can pay end of this month?
 
Anyone know for sure if the organisers require my Mx5 to have a roll cage fitted or would the hardtop be enough?

I know a cage is advisable, but I need to know if its a requirement before ordering one.

Nope, its not a race, its a trackday. Only if its a race you need cages and all that etc.

This is a trackday, bring your road car, as long as its got an MOT, it is fine. :)
 
Looks like 75 through the old hairpin to me, not sure where you are looking.
I would count the entirety until the braking point for the hairpin as craners, you are turning the whole time. I didn't realise we were being so pedantic, but since we are, the comparison with the Porsche video is still valid since I was looking at the peak speed through the section.

Maybe you are looking at this as if it's a willy waving contest or something. Perhaps I should set the record straight and say I've never managed to keep up with any 997 around Donington over a full lap, not even 1 sector.


Not getting involved with this what is craners and is not, but in your context its the first part of craners that scares the hell out of me. :D

In that first section is where I hover around 102-104mph, peak of 108mph, the second part where you hit 110mph is possible, I've done it but generally I don't bother and just hold 102-104ish. But I definetely find the intial part of craners a lot more scary than the second bit where you can accelerate to about 110mph if your pushing before having to slow to around 75ish for old hairpin then flat all the way up the hill after old hairpin.
 
Hi there

Right, those who are 110% going and ready to go, please drop me an email at:-

[email protected], also cc my work email too [email protected]

Once I've got the 10 emails of people saying they are going to pay, I shall email you all my bank details to make bank transfer, once this is done I shall update this thread to show you've paid. Then once everyone has paid me, I shall book the 10 places in one go with the organisers.

Please bear in mind because this is a group purchase/discount, I have no idea how it stands for refunds if anyone drops out, so based on this be prepared for no refund possible, though I am pretty sure the organiser could sort something out.
 
It isn't a track car, it's a daily drive. I'm willing to compromise on the ride and tyre wear, but the noise increase with a stripped interior is considerable and I couldn't put up with it.
When I was at Oulton the other week, there were quite a few e36 Kumho cup race cars out there. It gave me great satisfaction being able to keep up with their pace in a full weight road car, even the M3s were not an awful lot faster.
I'll be losing some weight anyway, figured I couldn't keep on borrowing shoes bucket seat for ever and I always hated the standard seat so I treated myself to a Cobra Imola seat, almost 30kg lighter than the stock seat is a welcome bonus.

Last time I was at Donny there was an E36 M3, running 350ish BHP, weight was sub 1100kg and on slicks, plus he races it so knows what he's doing, he was absolutely flying, he was in garage with me and said he was doing circa 1:17 laps. :)
 
I'd do this m8 but current car (and poss replacement!) might be too loud :(

If I spot its replacement over the next couple of days will let you know, I WANT to do this (been too long since I went on a track day)

Si

Think your Civic would be OK, but close to limit, just build revs throughout the day or get a bung for the exhaust.
 
I have asked a friend of mine to attend, he is checking to see if he can get time off work.

Nath is pulling out too by the looks of it Gibbo

OK we shall give it a couple of weeks and if we can't make the numbers up then I shall just book myself through their website and anyone else who definetely wants to come can just book via website at full price.
