RAF MARHAM Weekend 18th & 19th April 2009

[B'stard Child]

Now you have a date (well a weekend to keep free)

Pistonheads have been allocated

60 places for Saturday.
75 places for Sunday.

PH's who want to do both days is not a problem.

There have been some changes to payment structure as you will see from below

Please Note - I am in discussion with the organisers to firm up some of the suggested changes - esp the drift thing - Sat is by far the quieter day and the ABS forum that I also co-ordinate the entries for have the largest number of drift cars so having had lengthy discussions about the impact of this activity it was agreed on the forum that it may be better if the ABS moved their attendance from Sun (busy day) to Sat (quieter)

RAF Marham Trackday organiser said:

Ian - We had a very mixed response to drifting on the last event. For that reason I have decided that drifting will only be allowed on the Saturday.

RAF Marham Trackday organiser said:

RAF Marham Trackday

RAF Marham would like to invite you to a Charity Track Day Weekend on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th April 2009.

The track uses a combination of the airfield's main runway and taxiways resulting in a track that is around 3 miles long consisting of wide, smooth tarmac and concrete with lots of safe run offs. There will be approx 1 mile of the main runway in use with many sweeping curves and chicanes along the taxiways.

The Track Days will run from around 9am to 5pm on both days, split into either 30 or 60-minute sessions depending on numbers of participants. All the necessary facilities, such as toilets, catering, drinks, marshalling, medical and fire cover to support the event will be on hand. The atmosphere and event is relaxed, enjoyable and safe.

All participants who will be going onto the track, either as driver or passenger, will need a helmet. Race suits are not needed, but natural fibre clothes with full sleeves and legs are strongly recommended. Cars must be safe and in road-worthy condition, with normal seat belts as a minimum, and a fire extinguisher secured safely in the car (a plumbed in system is not necessary). If the car is driven to the event then it must have valid insurance, road tax and MOT. For those driving open or soft top cars, irrespective of whether the hood is raised or lowered, it is strongly recommended that appropriate extra rollover protection is properly fitted to the car, unless the car's windscreen structure was specifically designed to provide such protection.

Please note, due to lack of space, only vehicles driving on the event, and tow vehicles where applicable, will be allowed access - all passengers must arrive in participating vehicles.

Note we now have to implement a noise limit to reduce impact on local residential areas. No unsilenced exhaust systems will be permitted. A noise limit of 105 dB will be enforced (measured at 0.5m and 45 degree angle from exhaust exit at 2/3 of max rpm). Cars exceeding this limit will not be permitted on track.

Sharing a car is permitted (i.e. alternating drivers between sessions) and drivers are allowed to carry one passenger in the car onto the track, but passengers must also comply with regard to helmet and clothing and be over 16 years of age. All drivers and passengers will be required to sign a disclaimer. Spectating is not a possibility unless the individual is coming to assist someone who is driving - the reason for this is quite simple - the event insurance premiums and Health & Safety requirements go through the roof astronomically otherwise, so by restricting it to participants and assistants, it makes the event manageable, safer, more relaxed and enjoyable and importantly keeps the cost down to you.

Prices:

Single day - £70 for car and first driver. Additional drivers or passengers are an additional £10 each. (e.g. Car and 1 driver, £70; Car and driver plus 1 additional driver or passenger, £80; etc)

Full weekend - £120 for car and first driver. Additional drivers or passengers are an additional £10 each. (e.g. Car and 1 driver, £120; Car and driver plus 1 additional driver or passenger, £130; etc)

Note every penny goes to charity. Payment must be made in advance, cheques need to be made payable to Service Funds RAF Marham and of course signed and dated. We are expecting a high number of participants so it is advisable to get your name down early. Please note cheques will not be cashed until 2 weeks after 12 March, please ensure sufficient funds are available in your account.

It is important to note that the track does attract stones. The track will be swept prior to the event to minimise stones but if you drive directly behind the car in front along the main straights your car could be subject to stone chips. If you’re worried about this it is advisable to fit bonnet protection or drive with this in mind throughout the event.

PLEASE NOTE: RAF Marham is a front line operational air base and as such, any operational commitments on that weekend would lead to the Track Day being cancelled. This is however quite unlikely but prior notice will be given and any money paid up front would be fully reimbursed.

Important:

For security reasons, every person entering the Base including all passengers must be security vetted in advance. Everyone entering the Base will be required to present Photo ID. Your forum organiser requires the following details and payment from drivers and passengers by 12th March 2009 to allow time for the security team to check everyone. The details required are listed below and it must be stressed that they will be held in the strictest of confidence. Please note that after this date, only changes to vehicle details will be permitted.

Required details:

PAYMENT by Cheque payable to "Service Funds RAF Marham"

1. Name (surname, forename)
2. Full postal address
3. Tel No.
4. Date of Birth
5. Place of Birth
6. Passport No. (if possible)
7. Car make and model (of both track car and tow vehicle if your car is trailored)
8. Car registration (of both track car and tow vehicle if your car is trailored)
9. Day you are attending: Sat/Sun or both

Don't forget all the money raised goes to some very worthwhile charities!

Message me with your details points 1 - 9 please be nice and format the information so I can copy and paste it into the database

Example

1. Stig, Theo
2. 18 Trackday Road, Northampton NN18 1P
3. 01973 212223
4. 12/01/65 (UK Date format DD/MM/YY please none of this US format stuff)
5. Northampton
6. GB01458965
7. Track - Opel Monza GSE, Tow - BMW 740
8. Track - B5 GSE, Tow - A3 OCD
9. Sat & Sunday

Then follow with additional drivers or passengers as required 1-6 for all please

I will be peeved if i continually have to re-type the information for two reasons

1. I have to retype it all again and if I have to do that for all the entries it's a headache
2. It greatly increases the risk of an error transfering the information and that could lead to problems on the day - it's your data and your responsibility to make sure it is correct

Register an interest here by all means specify a day (provisionally) if you want and I'll count it as firm

What I don't want just yet is a shed load of emails with peoples details etc etc

Just let me sort out the drift thing and date - I'll appreciate that

[gtr-gaz]

Wow, noise limits at RAF Marham.

Never thought I would see that!!!

That's still a pretty high noise level - I forget my school days but an increase of 1 db is equivilent to twice the noise isn't it?

Yes Ian, I think you are right.
I know some of the Ultima owners are around 103db and some tracks are between 98 and 103 so, still louder than most

[mrB10]

OK cheers, I'll wait till I read you need details but as for a day. Sat for me please.

[Naughty Magpie]

Hmmm well that definitely counts me and the Cobra out bugger.

[Mark in Ireland]

I'll have sat and sunday again please, 2 drivers, one car.

[unclegrouch]

I thought 3dB was twice as loud. Now got to repack the exhaust just to get in to Marham, are they making jets quieter these days then?

you could be right - been a while since I was at school

[boosty]

Put me down for both days again. Time to start my rain dances...

[johno_78]

I'll be along for both days again too. The proper car is running now, so there should be no repeats of last time


The new passenger costs makes confusing reading. For me, taking passengers out for a ride, and getting rides in other cars, is what the Marham event is all about. Is it turning into a more orthodox trackday event now rather than a relaxed charity do?

I didn't read it as a charge for passengers - Just drivers but now I've read it again I think you might have a point but I guess it's for the passengers you bring with you

[vec_rich]

Thats what ive been waiting for!
Ive got a couple of others who want to come so can i reserve 3 places please, thanks

[Lensey]

Noise limits!! Gutted to have to say goodbye to Marham I know some cars are loud but not as loud as those jets

[Mark in Ireland]

Amended....

Cheers

[MG Mark]

On the issue of noise limits, I'm not sure if it is in response to any complaints or warnings raised with the station, but it won't be about the comparison with aircraft noise levels - it will be the level of noise generated at a weekend (which is fairly continuous) rather than the variable/occasional noise generated by normal flying activbity during the week. Aside from a few houses scattered around the edge of the airfield, there are of course all the married quarters. As has been said, 105db at that range and angle is quite high, should be within the grasp of most cars, and of course depends on what constitutes "2/3 of max rpm..".

I read the additional driver/passenger thing as if you come with your car and a mate and he goes in the car with you on the track, whether it be sharing the driving or just as a passenger, it will cost an extra £10. What is not clear is whether that will affect the ability just to give people a ride as long as they have signed the disclaimer, particularly the chaps and chapesses who are running the event. I'll query that with them when I'm back at work tomorrow, and I'll ask about the reason/application of the noise limits too.

MG Mark

[stevo666]

Put me down for Sat and Sun again please.

Surprised at the noise 'limits' but as Mark say's - 3/4 of max revs......

Not sure regarding the passenger costs, good way to raise revenue but will it also lead to less support as many people attend but do not go out on track i.e wives/children etc and therefore can lead to less turnover for the food stall...andthe general ambience of a relaxed trackday?

Rather than have drifting on Sunday, why not Saturday with a few drift only sessions as less 'track' cars attending?
