Default Donington @ Christmas

Spoke to Javelin this week whilst a Cadwell regarding the above, at the moment it's down for the Sunday between Christmas and the New Year.

Website is obviously not up to date that far yet

Adam I got chance to speak to Javelin again today, Donington cancelled as they are closing for a month over the winter for a refurb so nothing on at Donny

But they will be having Events at Mallory and Blyton if you fancy it mate

You will be too quick for Blyton, it's like a go kart track

I love Mallory as much as Donny mate, even closer for me too. I'll be definitely up for it. Noise may be a problem for the big boys though. Most days there are 95dB, fine for me and my standard city car lol.

Cheers Pete, got it just about how I want it now. Always welcome to a passenger ride. It doesn't win any prizes for outright straight line speed but great on the twisty stuff for the cost of it.

Leave it with me mate, really want to and probably will but I'm going proper racing with it next year and the budget's a bit tight. I'll definitely come along even if I'm not on track. Can give you some pointers.

There is a Production Class that's being proposed to start next year within the French Trophy Race Series. Using an almost standard car, with safety cutoff, extinguisher and cage and not a lot else mate. Bare minimum to get out there is the principle. Part of Track Attack Race Club. Will be running alongside various classes of French cars and should be about middle of the pack performance wise.

Cheers mate.
Regs are still to be finalised but it looks like engine wise, just panel air filter and exhaust can be altered. Suspension is shocks and springs - no coilovers, 1B tyres and that's about it. The essence is factory but with bare minimum to slightly improve track readiness.
