Yep, i'm also doing the big thunder day at Bruntingthorpe in my smart roadster coupe.

Sadly no, tried to get in, but had left it too late.

All fully booked.

And its the last one of the year.

and seeing if there are any cancellations - it does happen!

, Ahead of you on that one, even the RESERVES list is Full.

Bugger.

Only upside is the weather apppears to have gone to pot.

Half tempted with MSV'S half day at Brands before TOTALKITCAR. £120 for the afternoon.

Saves on tyres and brakes - mind you, I do have a roof!

One of the most fun trackdays I ever had was an Autocar evening at Bedford. Started in torrential rain, and dried out as we circulated - ended up missing the last 20 mins I thought I was suffering from confidence overdose!

[jaker]

sort of on topic, but who tends to organise the Brunters days? I have been looking but cant seem to find any???

[Furyous]

Big Thunder.

I like them, never had any probs, and enjoy the main circuit lots.

[jaker]

how many do they do a year?? I was looking for an October/November event really...

Missed the boat for this year now....

If you want cheap trackday, try Motorsport Events, go several airfield days over the next 6 weeks.Another well organised safe outfit, with some good locations.

I was at woodbridge a few weeks ago, had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the day.

Well, what can i say, apart from what an excellent day i had! I really enjoyed myself, and i will certainly be doing another day with Big Thunder in the future. Thanks to all the team and marshalls who made the day possible.

Totally agree that this was a great day out. Big Thunder were both professional and friendly. Brunters is a great place to lose your trackday cherry! Our group consisted mostly of the boxsters (I wasn't the one that had a few spins BTW!) and the Vanquish S

There was a great mix of people and cars there. We'll definitely be back again.

Yep, I had fun - like this!

[boxsey]

Remember seeing you on track. Great lines through the bends which taught me a thing or two
