Steve, gotta get the bloody Mk1 finished first! The 400s upgrade is impressive and very tempting, the only thing I'm hesitating about is that at the moment with the standard exhaust (apart from Miltek downpipe) its still a nice car to take on a long journey, I don't want to make it too loud, I must be getting old!

Im probably up for this, my own trackday cars are too far away to be worth fetching for an evening (I work in london but live in somerset) but I'll just steal one off one of the lads for Woodford Motorsport to borrow or even better chat a couple of them into coming along too.
(they were the 3 lads with the 2 phase 1 clio 172s on saturday SteveB, tank mike on here and the lads that work with him)

So thats probably another 2-3 slots gone.


40 doesnt seem a particuarly tall order.


Im sure Jim and Rich will be up for it too.

I bet it was due to "when V Tec kicked in yo", a few years ago the Type R boys were having problems with the intake noise back when you got a few warnings before being kicked off...

reckon I'd fancy this and could probably get a few more people, need some nice local-ish track to give the car a shake down before the annual ring trip to blow it up

As long as im not on holiday once we have the date me in the saff and stig in his 4be will book on and probably have two other mates probably book as well.

Last year we did two evening sessions got on track around 2.30pm and was on track till dusk 7.30 ish. Was dry and had a great day. Cheapy cheap as well think it was £80 or £85.00
Being ten mins around the corner were always up there on the half dayers. They have a corperate day and sell the rest of the time off the back.
They also are doing novice tester sessions up there now to experience track days for about 30mins cheap. Ideal if you want to have a quick go to see if you like it. Or a quick shake down testing day.

Do you actually mean "per driver" there mate?

As that makes it sound like if two people share a car it will be 119 + 119 = 238 quid, where as I suspect it will be more like 119 + 20 = 139 quid.

Would have liked to have done this but I have so much on in june already that im not going to get a chance, will be interested if its a success and hence you do another one later in the year though

That was based on 1 car 1 driver I haven't got full details as yet but as you said it will be far cheaper for a 2nd driver and passengers etc etc. (adjusted it now)
