VXR Track Days are Back!

If it didn't cost nearly £100 I'd do it.

Seems the Jeep Trials either aren't being done this year, or haven't been announced yet.

Seems like there's a lot of interest in this. I thought Vauxhalls were crap?

Yes, but you get to blast a car round a track for £100, not that bad really...I just can't afford it.

£100 for 1 1/2 handling and 1 1/2 on the track is pretty much the cheapest you'll find

But it's £100 I don't have

Whereas the Jeep Trials I went to last year was free

.
Not sure if I could be accepted for the VXR anyway as I'm 21 at the end of March, so would theoretically be able to book a date for after then, but they may take your booking age.

Liverpool-Lad · 12 Feb 2008 at 20:10

More like 5 minutes on the handling as theres so few cars...

Yeah, we did it first which was best as we got a bit longer on the cars at the end of the day and it was nice and dry and sunny.

Last time I stalled the car on my timed run doing the cone trail.

Jonners · 12 Feb 2008 at 20:31

Would the VXR8 be in the vehicle line up?

Would be a different experience if I got behind the wheel of one

Ev0 · 12 Feb 2008 at 20:34

VXR8 was there last time, no reason it wouldn't be this time.

Definitely going again, Thruxton it is

Although have got Brands a few days before I think with Renaultsport.

GT3 · 12 Feb 2008 at 20:37

I'm 21 on 7th of June. Will they let me book tickets for the Rockingham one or do you have to be 21 at time of booking tickets?

Try it, no real way of finding out unless you do.
