may be worth a whiz :drive:

This is for Wednesday 1st December:
1. Steve_PPP
2. Midlife2
3. Scooby Greg
4. Moley_WRX
5. Anger
6. Worzel

Any preference for morning or afternoon session? Morning is cheaper but it could be a bit nippy/frosty at 8am in December!

My birthday the day before

Will be along to watch again

Will be an unemployed bum by then and wont own a track worthy car :cry:

30 would be better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this morning or arvo or both???? (excited!). What is it - spank you scoob round the track (Do you need a lid) or driver training in a BMW/Ferrari/F1 Mclaren?

I expect we'll pick one session or the other (am/pm).

Its a 3hr open pit lane, so basically you're on your own to go round the track as much as you like, pitting when you like (when the brakes fade!). You can bring your own lid if you have one thats good enough, or you can hire one of theirs (for a tenner i think).

T'is good fun :ok: but recommend getting some track cover from Moley!

How much are you looking at for track cover ?

Mmmmm Brand's open pit :twisted::ninja:

I'm sure Gary will be along shortly but i think it was £60 for a day last time i used it. Definately worth it just in case!

Evo's are more than welcome mate :doubleup:

Going to sticky this thread as i'm sure we can get enough numbers to go ahead. Had a brief chat about it with a few people at today's meet and think the afternoon session is definately a better idea for the extra tenner. The signing on for the morning sessions starts at 7:30am, bugger that for a game of soldiers! :fool:

Definately pm gets my vote Steve. Just in case it is icy.....

Yep, afternoon session for sure.

Had to scrape the ice off the car for the first time this winter!

got to test the new susp/brakes:whistle:

i'll give ClubMSV a call later today/tomorrow to make sure there's enough availability in the session before the list gets too long and we call get too excited then!

Just spoken to Nick at ClubMSV and he's advised the following:

- Theres plenty of space on the afternoon session at present.
- The session did show 98db on the web, but Nick's advised that this was a mistake and it is actually a 105db noise limit. The evening session we did earlier in the year (with photoshoot) was 102db so most people should be fine for this one :ok:
- If we get 10 names or more from SES, then they'll do 10% off for everyone (which can include extras like helmet hire, additional passengers/drivers, instructors etc).
- If we get 10 names, they'll also reserve us enough pit lane garages for no charge.

Considering we've already got 9 people on the list, there must be a few more who fancy it :doubleup: Just remember its listed as a novice session.

Hi Steve, so a instructor can be hired to show the right lines

yes, its an additional option when you book your slot. It costs £25 but i'm not sure how long that gives you with an instructor in an open-pit session.

Thanks for the reply. As ive never done a trackday before thought it be a good idea to have some instruction

I'd recommend having an instructor for sure, made a massive difference.

Another option is for SES to hire their own instructor for afternoon.
Some pro race drivers offer this as a service.

This guy does it i think (and won @ Brands driving Zen's car in 2008)

Nice one Steve.:doubleup:

Mmmm :twisted:

come on Nige, you know the Evo deserves an early Christmas pressie :D

nobody else want to join us and make it up to 10 people?

So was that a yes, Nige? :mrgreen:

is it ok to come along and watch and show some support? would want to do a baffled sump first before I thought about going on track, that and a rebuild of the brakes

Sure it'll be fine, we had a few people come along last time to just watch without any problems :)

How many on the list want a instructor?

cool, i'll wander over then, bring the camera with me and see if i can get some good shots

Its about time I had a another go but how loud can you go with 105 as I have on idea what mine is :?

Sorry folks, my car won't be ready in time
Will be there watching though

What are you having done Gary?

i will be interested

Me too. Are you thinking of sharing the cost of bringing someone along then, as opposed to using the instructors at Brands? (no idea how good they are in comparison?).

This is the guy i used before, he's very very good.
Not bad prices either.... http://www.benelliottdriving.com/Driver%20training.htm

Nothing too exciting, just needs a clutch and the AP's fitted (whatever pads are in the Brembos at the moment are awful)

Would love to do this but any spare money is going on the car at the moment, so next time me thinks :nod:

bump :)

Anyone else fancy this? £75 for a 3hr open pit at Brands :doubleup:

One more gives us ten on the list, then i can speak to ClubMSV about booking us as a group.

Will be speaking to ClubMSV in the next day or two to confirm if we'll get any group discount on the 9 cars rather than 10.

If not, we'll have to go with what we've got and get booked up - unless there's anyone else interested?

I am having trouble in finding some brake pads in time, either way I will be there even if it's just watching and taking photos

Well, I've got poo news. My piggy is taking longer than anticipated to fix itself and I now have a consult with surgeon on the 1st Dec. and I'm not allowed to drive until I see him.
It's all going to be undo-able as being "able to drive" does not mean "able to stamp it around a race track".
Sorry if this messes things up. I'm as gutted as ... Well very.
