Last year, we were able to get the RAF Marham track day weekends back on the calendar, with great success and much to the pleasure of all who came. After a bit of toing and froing to negotiate dates and fit around the other things that go on at Marham, have now got the dates confirmed for the next Track Day weekend at RAF Marham of 28 and 29 May 2016.

The weekend will follow the usual popular format, with an open pit lane, a track layout with challenges and something for everyone, a great friendly atmosphere, and the hallmark of being excellent value for money while raising money for RAF and local charities.

I expect that the website will be up and running to take bookings soon, and the team will post here when it is. While we hope to be able to run another one later in the year, this one is confirmed and I hope you can make it - please spread the word, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon in May.

Oh, and one final thing, as it is RAF Marham's 100th anniversary this year, we are aiming to reflect that in various ways!

Does that mean you'll be driving round the track with a roof box / caravan in tow, very Top Gear-esque??

Excellent! Unfortunately I have a prior engagement for the Saturday evening up in Hull, so it might be a bit tricky, but I'm definitely keen to get there if I can.

Last year's one Stuart, we may include the 200 metres of grass you took at 120 to spice it up for everyone........

How quickly did this fill up last time? I'm parts swapping in my spare time at the moment so I'm not 100% sure the car will be done but I don't want to miss out!

Hmmm.
I might be in Spain that weekend.
But 'autonomous cars' are a hot topic in the auto industry.
Now... I reckon the red Nova's done at least 2000 miles around Marham.
If I leave it full of fuel and with the engine running, I suspect it can find its own way to Marham, run round the track all weekend and then drive itself home. Would someone please help it to change its own tyres at lunchtime?




(But - I'll probably be there!)
