Dear all,
It's that time of year again and it's time to talk about the next Track Day

We at RAF Marham are holding the next Charity Track Weekend on the 9th and 10th of April. You and all of your members are invited to attend our event.

We on the track day team have listen very carefully to all of your suggestions over the years and we are pleased to announce a number of improvements to our event.

The first change is the new Marham Track Days Website. This website will have all the usual facilities for booking and paying (PayPal) for entry. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CHEQUES ANYMORE. The website will also contain all driving information, maps, photos of past events and FAQs. No need for moderators to collect details anymore. We will take all the info we need from our website.

Once a member has entered their details and payment they will have access to a secure area within the site which will give details of timings, maps, FAQs and driver rules etc etc.

The Second change is to the format of the day. For the first time in our 6 year history we will be changing the track direction half way through the day (lunch break). This means that you get 2 TRACKS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!! This should help out with tyre, suspension and break wear too smile

Prices are unchanged for 2011 at £60 per car and first driver. £10 for each additional person MAX OF 4 People in any vehicle. If you book the whole weekend your passengers come free on the second day smile

E.g. Car + Driver = £60
+3 passengers = Total = £90 for one day
If coming for two days
Car + Driver = £120
+3 passengers = Total = £150 for the whole weekend saving £30 smile

We have 180 car places per day, 360 places in total.

Please post this on to your forum and ask everyone to STANDBY for the website to go live which should be towards the end of next week and to get their cars ready for the 9th/10th April smile I will let you know as soon as we have the site up and running.
We can't take any bookings until then and won't take any details over the phone or by email. Website entries/payment only.
Lets see if we can get the total up to £200,000 this year smile

Thank you again

George
So there you go - looks like a whole heap easier for me wink

Superb cool

I've been checking this forum every day for the past two weeks looking out for this. Agreed that the new website will make things much easier - just hope they can autheticate which car clubs people are coming from so it doesn't turn in to open season. Thanks for your efforts on previous years. beer

Roll on April

Correct

When it is I'll bump the thread

The early posting is to assist all the regulars with making sure it's on the calender....... before our better halves slot something else in - well that's how it works in our house

Hooray! I’ve been planning some car movements in my fleet, but wanted to make sure I hang onto the Camry Sport long enough to do this again. Even better, the date pretty much coincides with my birthday so this’ll be a fantastic present to myself.

Ian, you mentioned you’re doing Sunday with the RR people, probably what suits me best too, but don’t they normally do the Saturday? Makes no difference, just want to plan for the right day.

Time to start acquiring more wheels and/or part-worn tyres now – the Camry’s relentless understeer finished my 17’s off last year. Perhaps I need to experiment with some lift-off oversteer?...

Sunday seems to be the way they are going - we've done both Saturdays and Sundays in the past - Sat tends to be quieter so it can be better - gut feel with the next one is it's going to fill up fast on both days and with a cap on the total numbers for each day it doesn't matter what day - just matters that you book early and if you want to see the majority of the RR attendees Sunday would be good

Thanks Ian, I’ll keep an eye out for the website and go for Sunday. Got in touch with Chris yesterday by coincidence, hopefully he’ll be back in the UK that week and will be coming along.

I’ll have to see if my boss (the chap with the old Riley) is ready to shakedown his freshly restored TR by then and wants to book in too.
