trackdays.co.uk

 

Im on in the track shitter, Steve Fitz in the Audi RS4, Dave in the silver track Escos, and a half a dozen others from our local group.

Should be a good day.

 

awesome, time to meet new people too

 

LOL - you have met most of us before steve at the rolling road day we had at Powerstation!

 

i've drunk alcohol since then

 

PMSL! We'll come and give you a shout when we're there. Hope the weathers half reasonable.. (ie not under a blanket of snow!)

 

yeah, i will be praying for dry day, dont care if its cold, just want it dry as i never been there before

any dodgy corners?

 

I did an open pitlane day there about 3 years ago in my S2, quite a few of the corners are dodgy lol, little run off in places, especially on the back of the circuit, as it comes uphill (under the yokohama bridge), then under the trees for a right hander, it was damp and greasy up there, very tricky when your on it! Its a lovely track though, it flows quite well, you can carry a lot of speed through most of the corners.

 

ok cool, best i watch some vids...lol

 

the day is ran by circuit days who did the day that i went to last friday the 19th dec, you can book direct with them, they never charge extra for more drivers or passengers, tuition is available as wel!

the day we went to was very well run, with lots of nice cars!


WATCH druids, very very greasy, had a few people go off there!

in general the whole track is quite tricky, but an excellent track tho!

 

oh here is circuit days address

http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/index.php

 

already got 32 people booked onto it, so it will be full by then! 50 cars max!

 

i'll be starting slow anyhow as i have made a few changes so need to learn them

Bias box for one

 

i would do! the right hander after the 2nd chicane kept catching me out, only beacuse i kept forgettin it was there!lol

 

how did you check that?

edit to addm, found out, and my name not on the list

though i had confirmation this morning, so i'm not worried

 

ah if it was only this morning, then i wouldnt worry! circuit days will update that list whenever they can i think! also they guess the cars that you are going to take, so dont worry if your not listed for a pug, they had us down for a caterham 7!

 

well i paid last friday but they forgot to confirm till today..lol

couple of nice cars on the list (if they right)

 

Is someone really taking a Bently Conti GT round???

That'll be a first for me to see one of those round a track!

(at least we're on the list!)

 

I'm at the bottom of the list Cant wait, should be a good day, hope the weather's kind

 

 

iam afraid il just b spectating cars not done

 

come on, you got a month

 

Is there plenty of good spectating areas at Oulton? I've never been before....

 

Yes you can easily got to cascades, lodge, hizzys and pretty much anywhere bar druids and shell oils which is the hair pin at the far end

 

looks like i had better book this one so i can show you all the way round!

 

i might come just to watch lol

 

booked.

im excited

 

i'll follow you round for a lap or two then,

well only if you drive slow enough for me

 

you will love it-its a good circuit.
just watch druids-its always slippery in the mornings and if it stays cold it will be slippery all day.

you will know which corner im on about as it will probably have a bentley stuck in the gravel!

was really pissed off about donnington on 29th being cancelled but now im all giddy again!

 

ok will watch that one then
