I seem to recall James Weaver mentioning he was doing over 170mph down the Craners in his Group C Nissan during the era.....for perspective.

Yeah I'm losing a days wages as well as I'm a contractor... however, you need to live life to the full

I perhaps would have normally but having to sneak some sick days in over the next few months as I'm the process of a very lengthy interview process for a new job!

ROFl, lets hope your current employer isn't on these forums lol!

Hi there

Got an email from everyone except Muffin, please email me ASAP confirming you are still up for this please Muffin.

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.

JediFragger · 25 Feb 2013 at 12:12

Good idea, I'll see if any are available for it

ScoobyDoo69 · 25 Feb 2013 at 12:31

Jedi, your car wasn't that loud when I last saw it at Curborough?

I won't be running, but shall come along to spectate/passenger ride/help out.

JediFragger · 25 Feb 2013 at 12:57

It's pretty loud m8, I just don't want to risk losing out if it is

SI

Youd be fine, heard much louder cars on track without issue. Also bear in mind build revs up during the day and you get 2 chances anyway.

Hi there

OK Muffin can't make this, so in order to get this discounted rate, we need one more person to commit please.

JediFragger · 25 Feb 2013 at 14:47

Out of interest, can cars be rented for the track at Donny?

Clarkey · 25 Feb 2013 at 14:50

There are almost always rental Caterhams yes, and they are almost always rolling road blocks tbh, not cheap at all to rent either afaik.

JediFragger · 25 Feb 2013 at 14:53

Ok cheers for the info, any idea on ballpark? 300?

Can't quote for the day as it has disappeared off their website, but for other days hiring a "Tiger R6" track car from FE is £500 for the day. :eek:

JediFragger · 25 Feb 2013 at 15:06

Ok man thanks, if it was 300/350 I'd def commit and use one of their cars

Clarkey · 25 Feb 2013 at 15:14

More like 700 iirc.

So would I.

But its more like £600 with a £2500 excess. :eek:
