Just popped this in the trackday section, but thinking about it theres probably a greater chance of people reading it here ...........

Just recieved this email from our regional TVRCC top man....
email said:
Full circuit at Donington Sunday 6th February drivers briefing around
8.45am
- all day on the track until the light fails!
Price £145 BUT TO US ONLY £95

Anyone interested RING 01628 779000 quoting TVR Car Club.

DO NOT BOOK VIA THEIR WEB SITE OR EMAIL AS YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE FULL
PRICE.

For info their web site is www.rma-limited.com


Not sure if they are going to ask you for a TVRCC membership number, but if you are a member it's a bit of a bargin, if only I wasn't having a small cash flow issue
Might pop along with the camera though if anyones going

Is this an "open" trackday or a bona-fide TVRCC track day? As in given my insurer (Peart) cover me for free on TVRCC track days, does this count?

Don't think so, it's an RMA trackday, they are usually very well run, usually open pitlane and it's quite rare to find the full Donington track being used, when I've been to RMA trackdays in the past the standard of cars and driving has been very high



Yes, the car on the right is a Porsche GT1

Whatever you take it'll be good to see you again mate, we thought you'd become a hermit

Work has been manic for the last few months so i'm ready to get out and about.

Can't make karting though as me and Linds are having a much needed weekend away without the little fella!

I'll also be in need of a volunteer to drive the S/Scoob down to Donny for the 6th so i can do a back to back test and finally make my mind up which one to keep and which one to sell.

I've been considering Jools's S as an alternative so there is lots to discuss.

Cheers.

I'm thinking of going for this, but have never done a track day before. As I don't own a helmet do the organisers always have enough to rent out?
Also, whats the consensus on Track Day insurance. Is this mandatory/good idea/not worth it. I know that these events are excluded in my policy.
I guess it would make sense to have some instruction on the day. I believe that you get 2x30mins for £60 - seems good value.

Probably see you all there.

the only advice I feel able to give here is: buy your own helmet a good motorbike one that's motorsport approved can be got for £50 at the low end

I'd second that, even if they do have a few kicking about they are going to be as nice as the lids you get at most karting places, I've actually seen someone throw up in one of those
Pop along to your local Bike clothing place, and you'll get a BS approved lid, for under £50 it might be last years colours, but thats not really an issue, and it's going to be a lot nicer place to put your head, and it's going to fit properly, bottom line really is how much do you think your heads worth

Is this only open to TVRs? I am a TVRCC member but I was thinking of taking the mini or even possibly the Ginetta..

Open to any car from what i can gather, plus its open pit-lane, so potentially, much more track time than a TVRCC track day
