Win a year's track days

Worth up to £10,000 from BookaTrack

---

Drive Spa next year for free

Track day organiser BookaTrack is running its annual competition to win a year's-worth of track days, worth at least £10,000. All you have to do is to answer a simple multi-choice question, and text the answer in.

Last years winner was Simon Clark - who made the best possible use of his prize by purchasing a Caterham Superlight and a Lotus Elise.

Simon's a busy man but will have still managed 16 track days in 2005 - a total prize value of well over £3,000. Simon's extensive track day season included trips to Donington Park, Snetterton, Rockingham, Goodwood and the awsome Spa-Francorchamps. Previous years winners were Olly Gibson (2003) and Mark Gibson (2004) (no relation).

It's free to sign up to the BaT Web site.

thanks for that shoestring. it doesn't take a genius to work out that Simon could only make 16 of the 90+ track days we organised this year - hence his prize was worth over £3K to him.

Someone else may have managed to get their £10K worth.

AArgh, i hate predictive text. Just wasted £1.50.

[jleroux]

no problem agent, let me know your proper username and i'll update the database. (also the incorrect one if it's something completely different!)

Loony (damn that predictive text)

I've entered again with the correct answer, so not a problem. Username is the same as here.

Jonny, can I have the £7k worth of day's that weren't used then?

[jleroux]

TCI, you couldn't afford the tyres to take advantage of them!

Tell you what though, you agree to buy all your tyres off BaT and you can have £7K worth of 'free' track days :-P

Is there a 'TCI surcharge' on top of the normal tyre price - if not I might take you up on it as I've now got track wheels and tyres

Come to think of it, I can't even afford the £1.50 entry at the moment as I've had lots of stuff to pay for at BMW over the last month.

Sounds like a good deal to me. My locost hardly uses them at all and I reckon would get at least 7 days on a set before the canvas shows. I don't know how the engine, 'box, brakes and spine would stand up to 70 days though.

Your Locost doesn't weigh 2 tons, have 350bhp though and isn't driven by a complete nutter...* hello Tony *waves*








*Then again I could be wrong.

It's 1.8 tons and 340bhp actually

No it's about 550Kg, 75bhp (never having weighed or measured it) and driven by a hamfisted numptie with no sense of balance. But I still enjoy it.

Ahhh...bless.

[simon clark]

Well I'll certainly be entering again this year.....definately worth the 50p

Although I couldn't do all 90 this year, having that amount of choice is certainly an awesome prize to win.....

If I manage to win again then I might be able to convince 'er indoors to let me keep the Caterham for one more year! Besides, Spa is a lovely setting for a romantic break...in October

Perhaps if I win I could use Spa as my honeymoon? Could I borrow your Caterham, mate?
