New thread started as suggested £159, don't know about discounts, garages etc it's all new to me, I just happen to look on the MSV website.
My refreshed motor should be be nicely run in by then.

Anyone interested?

Might as well.



I'm hitting about 150 down the straight, let's see what yours will do?

If it's quicker I'll have to have a rethink! wink

Link to the booking page would be handy too.

October? Could be persuaded.

Thanks for sorting out the link Stewart, personally I need to get on an MSV day as I have some credit to use up with them before the end of the year. Plus I'm only about 15 miles from Bedford but about 90 from Snetterton so I make up the cost difference in fuel in any case.

I think I'll be ok with the noise limit as I have a pair of track cans, although I understand their effect is reduced somewhat with a supercharged engine, increased exhaust gas speed etc.

As this is my first time booking are there any tips for reserving a garage, establishing any sort of discount for numbers etc., any guidance much appreciated.

Best thing to do is contact MSV and ask what they are willing to offer.

October maybe a bit late for some. Risk of rain etc... I'm pretty much there. If it is bad whether I'll take the box for a laugh.

I'll book in a few days.

I had one of those "boxes" when they first came out in 2004, one of the best cars I ever had (for an allrounder anyway). See you there then!

TVR group booking registered with MSV but you'll need to book by the end of this week for a discount - 10% if 5 or more book, I've booked so just need another 4 !

Apparently they don't generally rent out garages at Bedford but will review nearer the time subject to size of the group, I'd say a garage would be useful at that time of the year!

Richard, if you want to certain about your noise levels, call the track and arrange to have the car noise tested on a day when they are running a track day. They are generally happy to oblige.

Probably not, Stewart. I have already done 10 this year, have run out of tyres, spare cash and wifely indulgence, so will be sitting out the rest of the year.
