Zolder I'm told is a fantastic weekend. Who else is going ? Any tips from previous events ?

I am going and meeting a guy in Dover who has never been before lol

Tips:

Think about options if your exhaust is significantly louder than standard (I'll explain about the noise meters when we meet). Make sure your brakes are in top condition. Bring suncream and an umbrella

Seriously, just the usual things for a trackday, bring a seat to sit on as there are none in the pits, I will bring a plastic cover so you can empty out your boot that's just in case it rains, must be due a good one with sun all day hope its this year, there is fuel at the track just need a card as not attended we will fill up before we get to the hotel though but is a 30 min drive to the track, a fire extinguisher, oil, there is water at the track, as Number 7 said make sure your brakes are tip top, both front and rear as they scrutinize your car and if the pads are worn they will make you buy a new set as they did with me and charge you to fit them, check that there are no leaks in the engine bay again they will check and if the leaks are too bad they will not let you on track, bring a warm coat and an umbrella, there is food at the track which is ok but I learned a trick last year about bringing some and will explain when we meet, as you have not been to the circuit before it might be worth you doing the sighting laps first thing in the morning. The day is split up into different events so you have plenty of time on track, I did the Le Man style event last year and really enjoyed it but I made a complete mess of the start but this year I have a cunning plan

We tend to get to the hotel and check in don,t forget like some idiot did last year you have to pay for the track day in EUROS 335 I think in the hotel foyer , there will be a table with the Dutch TVRCC members and they will have all the details for the track day including a number for your car, we tend to unpack then get car scrutinized and go to bar casual wear for Thursday night jeans etc, we get a table booked for our party for about 8 o,clock the food is very good, Friday night is fun we will have a table for the night and I watch everybody get their prizes, but this year as my T350 is only 187BHP and 100lb/ft of torque they might put me in class where I stand a chance of winning something, Friday night again is casual wear some wear jeans some smart

I think that's all I can say, see you in Dover

I want to go, but it doesn't look like anybody from Yorkshire is going this year. I've only missed one since 1998.....
