yeah marco came today,be on ya doorstep tom if it aint there today,

track Ł180 no money back if you cancel etc no transfer etc

you get 2 yeah 2 pit passes extra are Ł10 each

Ł20 for support car etc .

Thought it was a club for the members ?????? if the prices at donno have gone up so much the money the club makes etc should go to sup ND , etc

there should be no money made left in bank i say as long as it breaks even thats all that matters.

Donnington are not giving any discount to RS Owner Club members who book the track day on 19th August.And Im sticking in the intermediate group this year.What f*cking hope would I have in the expert class with 180 bhp against 500/600/700 BHP Cossies,dont think my slicks would help me very much against them!!!!! And hello to Tim and SiB,see you on track soon!! Regards Micky

Stand a chance against them, what do you mean? It's a trackday not a race day!

Sorry to put it another way,my car would be like a mobile cicane in the Expert group and I'd spend the entire day looking in the rear view mirror so I could keep right and let them past,thus not concentrating on actually looking where I was going!!Slow cars mixed in with fast cars is very dangerous in my opinion.So thats why my car wouldnt be in the expert class.Regards Micky

Cossie of course

I'm not even thinking of tracking the Evo at all... not paying out extra on ins for trackday cover. The cossie is covered for track on the insurance I have on it

the level of drivng needs to be sorted out ... if people constantly want to stop track time by falling off the track as they can not control their cars they should be asked to leave ...

and stopped from attending the following year ....

i for one wonder why they do a beifing .. most of the group c or race licence holders overtake on corners, drive overly agressive ...
as stated its not a race its supposed to be a fun day to play with ya car .

Bookatrack are charging Ł225 for a non-noisy day at Dono during the week.... not even a weekend.

EasyTrack & Track-Sport both charge over Ł200 for trackdays at Oulton now.
