Default Novice Trackday Oulton Park Saturday 6th Jan 2007

Start off the new year by doing something you have probably always wanted to do but were too frightened..

A NOVICE ONLY trackday on a full race circuit on a Saturday for only £119

No special modified cars are needed, no big performance engines, no anchor stopping brakes etc

Take your own car safely out on Cheshires finest track with no worries of being hounded on by the wannabees

http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/ou...ProductID=2472

Go on - you know you want to

Anyone who needs a passenger to sit along side and offer help then I'd be very glad to do it for free

www.moris.co.uk

Once this gets posted around the forums it will fill up fast.

With only 30 places in total if you are just 'thinking about it' at the moment then by the time you have 'made your mind up' it will be full.

NOVICE only trackdays dont come around that often, and unusually its on a Saturday too which makes it even better, as time off work is not needed for most.

As for insurance - its your call but I'd say it is not necessary for your first time out on track

Nice 1

& thanks for correcting my error

What cars you all got ? And mods ?

Im getting lots of PM's from people saying they can't go because they havn't got a modified car. I keep telling them that it dosn't need to be modified to do a trackday In fact for your first visit I'd say a totally standard car will be in someways better

Does this have to be booked before hand? Or are there chances of tunring up and paying on the day?

The reason I ask is I need to see how much cash I come back from Amsterdam with, which will tell me whether I can come or not.

Thanks

Only asking because some Donington ones let you pay when you turn up, if they have free spaces for a little extra.

Oh well, I'll check the funds, really want to go on this.

Would love some propper tuition!
