Taffia Tours are pleased to announce the first event of the 2015 season with the Llandow Pre-Season Shakedown. Why not take the opportunity to test out those winter upgrades before the blatting season begins. If you have never tried your 7 on track before this is the perfect place for your first tack experience.

When? Saturday 21st March 2015

Where? Llandow Circuit, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales CF71 7PB.
http://www.llandow.com/
http://www.llandow.com/?page_id=17

Who’s it for? Lotus and Caterham 7 owners driving Caterham 7's, Lotus 7's and Caterham 21's only (sorry to anyone else).

How many? Entries are strictly limited to 40 drivers to ensure you have a safe enjoyable day, please note maximum 40 "drivers" not cars - multiple drivers will have to pay, shared cars must pay for 2 drivers etc.
Advanced Driver = Max 10
Intermediate = Max 20
Novice = Max 10
Maximum 10 cars on the track at any one time.

££££? A very reasonable price of just £95.00 per driver + £25.00 for extra drivers

What time?
8.30am Gates open
9.10am Signing on
9.30am Circuit Safety Briefing (will be announced over tannoy system)
10.00am - 5.00pm Track activities
1.00pm - 2.00pm Lunch break
3.15 – 3.30 pm Afternoon break
5.00pm Track closes

How noisy? 105Db drive by, but my bet is the noise meter “might not be working”. But seriously - any car that is clearly way louder than others will be asked to quieten down or repack the zorst. This has only happened once in the 9 years the Taffia has been doing this event at Llandow.

Do I need a FIA bar? No, this trackday is run by Llandow Circuit Limited following their procedures; you do need a helmet and covered arms and legs and a driving licence.
Please bring your licence on the day!!!!

How to pay?
Book online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1148126
using the code Lotus 7 Club

(a) transfer of the booking to a future date within 12 months of the original event for an admin fee of £10

Please let me know when you’ve booked.

If you have any queries drop me a Blatmail or post on this thread so get on and book it, you know you want to!!

Final note: The Taffia doesn’t make any profit from this event as it is run by Llandow Circuit Limited.

Please note that no cavorting or gambolling with the woolly locals is permitted without prior written permission from the Taffia. Please supply your own wellies.

Thanks for organising again Alan. As a heads up this was my first trackday in the 7 at last year's event and despite a front cycle wing making a bid for freedom, it was a brilliant day. To repeat what Alan said - it's an ideal track for your first 7 trackday - reasonably compact so speeds not that high, but with a few technical sections to garner knowledge of the handling characteristics of your 7. Still don't know if I can come or not, but fingers-crossed.

Correct, this event isn't a Lotus 7 Club event so it's open to all Lotus 7 owners

Can I ask what the format is. Is it 3 sessions an hour, 1 for each group?

I'd be a novice, haven't done a trackday for about 10 years!

Llandow run usually 2 sets of sessions in the morning, and then it'll change to open-pit just before lunchtime.
