Don't know if anybody has any days booked with them but I've just been informed by Oulton Park on Facebook that they ceased trading today and all track days have been cancelled.

If that's the case I want my money back for Bedford - 27th April, I can't view Facebook on my work Laptop - is there any talk of a refund?

Did you pay by credit card? If yes, tell the credit card company and you will (eventually) get your money back once they have gone through their investigations. If not, you are just an unsecured creditor in the insolvency of the company. And therefore (like me) your money is basically gone.

Of course, until the TD is formally cancelled/the company puts out its own statement we only have the word of club MSV that this is happening(admitedly reasonably good source).

This now appears on the calendar of their website: "For reasons beyond our control the 2013 diary of car track day events is undergoing some changes. If you were booked into a previously listed event, you will receive a full refund, credit for the new diary (we're hoping to release within 7 days) or transfer to another organiser if appropriate. We apologise for any inconvience caused. Check back soon for the new events list."

I was fully prepared to be shafted there - I even broke out the lube in anticipation!

Of course I won't be fully at easy until the money is back in my account.

+1 to that, hopefully they will be true to their word.

I looked at their FB earlier today and I think it has now been deleted, can someone double check?

I posted this on here earlier today, but it was taken down, I don't think Pistonheads believed me.

Believe it now do they ????

I was trying to warn you guys that had money tied up in Easytrack. Oh well, never mind.

My friend bought a season ticket at £850 so I hope something can be salvaged from the situation

I was doing the same as you, letting people know as soon as, so they may have a chance of getting their money back.

However unlikely.

Cheers for the heads up.

I bought a 5 day pack for about £700 last year, was booked at Oulton on the 23rd.

Would only have been my 2nd day from the pack frown

I've changed this post so that it is as up to date as possible!
Just heard back from Easytrack and they say they are working hard to resolve and that things should be back to business within a few days - lets wish them luck.
The post that started this is true though - the concensus within "the vision track system" is of a ceased trading status, but I have been assured that this is not true, so let us see.
Turbulent times eh!
