Anyone booked on for this? its sold out and I cant believe how many cars Javelin have allowed on this day. 75 in total so I'm imagining the track is going to be quite congested at times.

75 is busy. Plus all the additional drivers on top of that. Good luck!

Wow, 75! FWIW, I've just booked Cadwell with BaT (Tue 2 August) and they're only allowing 49 cars. Would hate to think what 75 would be like, especially with the limited overtaking spots there.

75 is way too many.

Expect lots of red flags. Expect to have to wait ages to get on track, only for a red flag to be thrown on your out lap.

I've I was going, I'd attend the briefing. Then bugger off for breakfast for an hour or two. Come back just before lunch for some laps. Then look to get all the track time I could once people start buggering off after lunch.

Check MSV's calendar instead. I did an evening there yesterday - 15 cars.
And the day session before it was no more than 30.

The other night (April 22nd I think) an MSV evening session only had around 10 as well.

This is my thinking. Not sure I'l be doing another Javelin day after this one if its full of red flags.

Did a javelin day there last year and it was really busy. Lots of queuing. Some red flags. Not many clear laps.

Well I must say I was wrong, 70 odd cars and the day ran very smoothly. A couple of red flags due a couple of off's and some spilt fluid but other than that it was a great day.

Weather was pretty much perfect as well and some very nice cars made for a fantastic track day. Credit to Javelin for organising it!
