Billabong might have been though
I like the trend of this type of 'competition' which opens up 'motorsport' to the masses
I will defintely go

So regardless of how well you do, you can get at least 2 hours blast round the track + qualifying + a good hoot watching the rest for Ł75. Sounds like a plan 
Anyone got a 500bhp engine and transmission they want to lend me

Dom,
I talk a good race? All YOU do is talk .
You said you were going to take your car up the strip on Sunday seberal weeks ago - all talk.
You said you would be coming to the Nurburgring - all talk.
You said you would cane me on track - again - all talk (and in your dreams ).
Paul,
Yep, so get yourself on - brakes and handling play a BIG part.

Steve,
Ooooh I'm scared - I've met Tim a good few times to know by now that he has a sense of humour even if you don't .
I nearly made him puke his breakfast up on Sunday, by poking him in the ribs.
Anyway, surely your boyfriend would be up for this?

Date is: Saturday 25th June
Venue is: Rockingham
Website is: http://www.gtbattle.com/
Would love to see some of the track-day regulars showing the Jap boys the way it is done (as it seems most of them couldn't drive a slippery stick up a dog's arse - with a few exceptions obviously).
Anyone else interested?
Gareth Lloyd, Lee (AKA Porkie) and myself are up for it, should be a good day mixing it with the Jap cars.
The good thing is that following on from PFs recommendations (the post that Lee put up a few months ago) they have also split the event into fwd, rwd and 4x4 categories, so even the quick RSTs will have a good chance of coming away with some of the top honours (Ollie? ). Also, no Radicals / Cater-fields etc are allowed, so it is proper "road legal" cars with road legal tyres only etc .
Basically the Practice & Qualifying for the Time Attack will run on a section of the infield course at Rockingham. Cars will have transponders fitted and will be timed over the course.
The Time Attack Final will be run with the top 15 finalists. The final will be the only event happening on the circuit at the time. The final will consist of an outlap (all finalists will be queued in the main pits and start from here), then a flying lap (timed), then a slow down for returning to the pits. The practice & qualifying circuit will be different to the final circuit. For this reason they will be holding an 'open circuit' test session for the drivers to familiarise themselves with the final circuit. This session will be the top 12 qualifiers, 3 wildcards, and 5 reserves. This test session therefore will have 20 of the top drivers and cars 'practising' with an open pitlane to allow for tweaks etc., if required. This would be awesome seeing the top cars on track together
Below is a timetable, which is yet to be confirmed but is as near as damnit:
Proposed 'UK Time Attack' Competitor time table
07.00 Competitor Gate opens.
07.30-09.30 Signing on and scrutineering.
09.30-11.30 Practice (120 minute session)
11.30-13.30 Qualifying (120 minute session)
13.30-14.30 Lunch
14.30-16.00 Final Qualifying (90 minute session)
16.05 Finalists are announced and then they must proceed to pit lane.
16.10 Practice session for final commences (12 fastest qualifiers, 3 wildcards and 5 reserves.) Open pit lane.
16.40 Practice session ends.
17.05 - 17.15 15 Finalists and 5 reserves return to pit lane and are shown to the crowd.
17.30 Finals start with 3 wildcards and the first 5 finalists.
17.45 Break (Top 3 Drifters are presented with trophies on podium)
17.55 Final 7 drivers to run.
18.10 1st, 2nd, 3rd placings announced, drivers and there cars to remain in pit lane.
