I'm sure you will enjoy it. Now start to make a list of stuff you will need.
Helmet, sweatshirt(long sleeves), bottle of water, tyre pump and decent pressure gauge, some oil?, credit card for petrol(it'll drink it) etc.

There's some good sites on the web for novice track day'ers. Rich...

[bund]

sh*t will i really need all that. Only joking some good advice, ill have a look now. The tyre situation though do they not have that in the pitts?

Yes but I seem to remember there was always a queue to get near the air line so if you have one that plugs into a cigarette lighter it's easier to do whilst you're waiting around.

Good stuff. BTW - you won't get too many stone chips as long as you don't sit 6" off everyones bumper!

Are you bringing the AMV8?

Steve

I was tempted until I saw it was £245, thats a bit steep imo!

For a full day, open pit lane? Some of the other circuits are much more expensive!

Joe not a problem with a ride round, i wouldn't mind going in the boxster round the track either as i still think the boxster i had was one of the best handling cars iv had. What part of surrey are you? Are you driving up sat morning, maybe we could meet somewhere on the way there?

I'll be coming from Hampshire, along the M3, around the M25 and up the M1... Keep an eye out for a blue GT3!

Steve

[bund]

Steve im coming from Richmond so other end of M3, what time you setting off?

Hmm - hadn't really thought about it but I'd like to be there before the first briefing at 8:25am so I guess I'll be leaving at around 6am

Its a shame its a pain in the neck to try and stop anywhere near the M3 / M25 interchange otherwise I'd suggest meeting somewhere but its early enough as it is! If I leave at dead on 6am, I will be getting to the M25 slip road at around 6:50 if that helps?

BTW - whats your real name?

Steve

[Merritt]

Can't help with the decision about getting to the M1 but just to let you know that from the M1 to the autodrome is slow if you go thru Bedford (even at that time in the morning, its all town roads at 30mph). The other route you really need someone navigating for you (or GPS) if you haven't done it before..
