!! Ok chaps & chapesses, its nearly time !!
Some final points before the day.
Please aim to be at Bruntingthorpe for 9 - 9.30am on Sunday.
We will be starting by handing over disclaimers, paying balance of fee & having a safety briefing at approx 9.30
Helmets are advised but not obligatory.
This will be followed by a low speed lap of the circuit to familiarise yourselves with braking areas etc etc.
ONLY DRIVERS FOLLOW ON THIS LAP-NO SPECTATORS PLEASE.
We will start the runs at around 10am. Details of pairings & marshalling etc will be given at the briefing.
while not driving you will be able to see plenty from the area we drive you to. Please could all spectators stay to the LEFT of the track when they are viewing, REMEMBER that there will be people coming back after their high speed runs and they will not be expecting you in their way.
The first 2/3 high speed runs will be driver and allocated passenger only, this is so that the drivers can get used to the track, after this point drivers can swap between cars if they wish.
Any passengers who wish to swap cars, please ask politely if you wish to go out with the drivers & they may take you out for a run or two, there is plenty of time during the day so if they offer to take you out later as they want to give themselves or their car a break when you ask then don't be too disheartened.
Can everyone bear in mind that it gets very cold so dress appropriately and bring something to cover you up if it rains.
There will be a burger van there for lunch.
Also drivers, you will have a chance to nip off for petrol at lunchtime, you may or may not need it.
Can all drivers bring the balance to pay in cash on the day.
Also, the "mach - vmax 15000bhp" caps will be available at £10 each on the day.
There is a map below, on a final note can everyone PLEASE take it easy on the way up, the boys in blue may be out & you'll have plenty of chance to ahem... stretch your car's legs on the day
Lets make it a day to remember, cheers.

ALSO.......
In order to save us considerable time on the day & give you all more tracktime I have the disclaimer below. please Can u copy & paste, print and fill it in & sign it (and bring it on the day!)
Indemnity Form
I,
(print name)
acknowledge that at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground on October 31st 2004, I participate entirely at my own risk in a timed event aimed at driver education. I understand that there is no organising body as such, all participants act as co-hirers of the Bruntingthorpe facilities
I acknowledge that no element of competition is involved, but that in any high speed environment, accidents may occur, and that I have been asked to check the safety and suitability of my car for these purposes, including the condition and appropriate fitment of wheels and tyres. I understand that wearing a safety helmet is advised, and that if I choose not to do so, I understand the additional risks involved and accept them.
I have also inspected the arrangements for the proceedings, and am satisfied that all factors, such as positioning of timing equipment, are adjusted to ensure safety of car and driver as long as the Driver Instructions are followed. I declare I have heard and understood the Instructions, and that I have been offered a written copy.
I agree to obey the instructions of the marshals at all times while at BPG, and should I choose to carry a passenger I will ensure they are adequately secured, and that they also agree these conditions.
