the bb trackday thread.

MSV are doing it. 25th, bank holiday coming up.

[LoonR1]

I'd have thought it would be busy on a Bank Holiday Monday. £190 is steep for Oulton though No Loimits peak at £169 I think, but they rarely have weekend dates in peak season.

I'm amazed the Weds is so busy though with a Bank Holiday date available two days earlier.

[curlie467]

I must be a bit tight then as the £159 for this one is a bit keen!

[LoonR1]

Get used to those prices. You won't see cheaper this side of October.

[moanthebairns]

I hear you I am toying with Knockhill on Friday but at 170 or 190 on the day I can't bring myself to. That's before I loose a couple of hundred quid for taking the day off. Jesus 400 quid easy for a track day at knockhill. When you put, fk I could get a week away for that.

I don't mind them with the no limits discount

I'd happily pay 150 for donnie or oulton.

Pretty much why I booked aragon.

£150 for a day, a few hundred quid in wages and i'm at a weekend abroad.

Yes. Sadly i know!
I do like oulton though and when you factor in everything it works out ok as i only have to travel 3 miles!
The next closest are Anglesey, Donington and Mallory and they take a few hours to get to so add to the overall cost of things.

Slightly less but yes. Sorry I forgot it's very Un British to talk about money. IM only mentioning it as I'm now self employed so if I take a day off I don't get paid and it feels like it's costing Me.

It is, that's the st thing about being self employed. Considered it myself but reckon it would balance out.

At designer rates it should. Christ even at draughty rates which I'm on I'm still better off. Add in creative book keeping. I wonder can you put a trackday down as an expense.
