Distance wise it will be at Blyton Park Driving Centre (BPDC) nr Gainsborough.

Timing and format will be dictated by BPDC and numbers signing up.

Nope, a couple of tins down and fat fingers on my iPad key board :-o

It's a bit like Eric Morecambe / Andre Preview Privet Previn - all the right letters, not necessarily in the right order!! .

Format and cost. Otherwise could be any track, anywhere in the country, organised by anybody. I can pop up and liaise with Blyton in person.

Might be worth speaking to somebody like Javelin. They arranged a day for Porsche 968 owners. It wasn't exclusive but we got first dibs on booking and the day was great. The day was at Bedford but they have access to a number of other tracks.

Depends what you want of the event - i can't see javelin adding anything other than a mark up to replicate what i attendded last Friday.

my aim is to keep it compact and bijou in other words simple (like me)

11. Magpies - usual caveat of when and if car is ready (I've only done 1/2 a trackday before and didn't like NOT being able to overtake in braking areas or corners!!) but this sounds like it may be 'more social' smile

sociable certainly, but as only one car on track at a time no overtaking anywhere, but also you go in to braking areas/corners as quick as you can/dare wink

Mmmm, I am very interested too, dependant on cost, just checked 114 miles from me, so only 15 minutes away wink
I have driven trackdays but in other peoples cars and with an instructor shouting at me from passenger seat, would be nice to try the S out. !.
.
Will this need any insurance notification, extra cover ??

Just going to dangle this out there as a thought - shoot me if it's a dumb idea...

Max's trackday idea seems to have got lots of interest. Just wondering if the trackday could actually be part of next year's S-Club Heaven event?

I'm thinking if the track day was on a Friday a venue could be found to build in some camping and have a further meet/run out on the Saturday?

Thought I'd raise it here and see response - if positive I'll start a separate thread. But don't want to steal Max's thunder!

shoot

not shooting you down at all - the thought had crossed my mind (momentarily i might add) but i felt it too big a committment for me personally at the momment with work my loads currently.

I'm happy to tag anything on to this and support/work with someone organising SCH 2014 (or beyond) but increased numbers either changes the format (more on track at one time & possible price increase per person due to BPDC insurance) or reduces time on track (fewer laps to accommodate higher numbers but not necessarily reduced cost).
