Nice to see this has a good following now thanks to my original post last year Hopefully gets rid of some of the negative stigma us vauxhall drivers put up with!

Not really as the people who bitch about VXLs are not going to pay to drive one

They also ask you what you drive day to day which also gives them a quick insight.

Got my email this morning confirming booking:

GET READY!

Mr Dwyer, your VXR Track Day is fast approaching. Under the eye of a professional instructor, you’ll soon be unleashed in the full range of pulse-racing VXRs to thunder round Thruxton. It’s one of the fastest and longest circuits in the country, and its legendary high-speed corners have given it the reputation of a speed merchant’s paradise.

Cardiff to Thruxton for 8am though

Dangerous · 2 Jun 2008 at 12:12

Anyone had anything in the post yet? Almost there!!! Can't wait!!!

Dangerous · 4 Jun 2008 at 12:06

Yeah I'm looking forward to it! VMAX this weekend then Thruxton on Thursday.

Won't be bringing my video camera though - I'm up for some lunchish before I have to drive home!

Dangerous · 11 Jun 2008 at 11:42

I'll be in the Skoda Octy Estate reg starts with GL55. I'll be there for about 8:15ish I guess.

Dangerous · 11 Jun 2008 at 18:53

lol not really been around the forums the last few months so totally missed it, well annoying, I blame Vauxhall for not sending me a newsletter or something!

Thats how I found out about this

Dangerous · 12 Jun 2008 at 14:55

I was in the red group so on the track 1st - Saw your car but didnt really stay around afterwards

We took about 3 1/2 hours each way to get there but we took a mates van so I was chilling in the back watching a film!

It's surprising how much the instructors differ, most of the decent ones just let me get on with it, with some decent tips etc... one guy was getting me to trail brake pretty damn hard into the complex which was fun.

Wish there was a track that was closer to me.

SolidD, i'm sure I saw your st220... were you in the red team?

I think I might of heard you talking then about Police cars and bumps in the road or something?
