Silverstone GP 7th Jan

[loggyboy]

Got an email from RMA for this last week, very cheap as its for charity.
I acted quick so got a place, but sadly fully booked now, anyone else manage?
I'm nervous about my first RMA day, they are fairly notorious!

[Pdelamare]

I'll be there, done a few RMA days in the past and they've been really good so I'm not sure what you've read to have that view.

There was a thread on here about them when a Nissan GTR or something was written off. They got a lot of stick at the time.

[Pdelamare]

So everyone judges them on just one single event? They hold lots of events every year, if they were as notorious as mentioned there'd be a lot more than just one example.

Every TDO has a dodgy event or whatever at some point, nothing is ever infallible.

Couple of us here managed to get booked on to the Jan 7th day.

We did the Silverstone GP day on the 27th and I thought the day ran well.

Sorry, perhaps a bad choice of word. I meant more renowned. In respect of breifings, overtaking and quality of marques.

[TonyF]

My son and I are booked in for this one also.

If anyone considers selling their place please let me know.

Thanks

Notorious was probably right for the briefings .

I'm on this one with Matt, speaking of quality marques I'm hoping to have my Peugeot rebuilt by then but the Westfield will be standing by in case it's not ready.

Yes I have a feeling the humble Clio may stick out a little.

[Steve H]

I'll try to keep the average values down with my 106

If anybody has booked and can no longer go please let me know

Thanks

Looking cold, dull but dry at the moment. Really looking forward to it!

Bit slippy yesterday.

[Pdelamare]

Bit? Lot slippery I think. Excellent day in terms of track time and management though. Lots of money was raised for the widow of Dave Compton, most importantly.

And all the better for it
Had a great day!

I believe we were pitted in the same garage area, I was in the black E92 M3, all the M cars seemed to be having fun lol.

That's really more drifting than anything else. No lap records set I take it?
