Group Trackday 2015 - Any one interested

[mk1fan]

As has been mentioned on a couple of threads it would be nice to get a big group of us to a trackday. I have [clearly stupidly] put myself forward to organise something.

Had a spare hour today so have had a look at some days.

Firstly, the idea is to go to the organiser with a group booking (I think we'll need at least 10 confirmed attendees) NOT with the line that 'a few of us might book up'. If you're interested assume the main price is what will need to be paid. Any money off or freebies will be a bonus. With regards to garages. I will assign them as three per garage so assume an additional £10 on top of the price. The price is per car but extra drivers can be added.

Secondly, please don't put your name down if you're not sure or awaiting permission from your other half. If your name is down I expect you to be paying.

Thirdly, if it comes together payment will be required by return to the organiser. If I get a discount it'll be time sensitive.

Fourthly, please note the noise limits. It is the individuals responsibility to ensure their chosen car is fit for the track and complies with the organiser's requirements.

Fifthly, this is not a TVRCC or other owners club event. ALL TVRs and drivers are welcome - assuming they follow points 1 to 4. The more the merrier.

The Days

There are two to choose from. If there's enough interest I'm happy to do both.

The first one is on Monday the 18th of May. It is an MSV day at Bedford Autodrome on the GT circuit. There is a 101dB static and 87.5dB driveby noise test to comply with. I see that garages are not listed available as an extra but I can check with MSV as I'm pretty sure there are garages there.

List price £159.00

Advantages - Monday event so travel on a Sunday is easier for most than a weekday. Lots of run off and a wide open circuit. It's fast.

Disadvantages - noise test is pretty tight. Not completely central.


The second one is on Friday the 5th of June. It is a Javelin day at Donington Park on the National circuit. There is a 105dB static and 98dB driveby noise test to comply with. Garages are available.

List price £219.00

Advantages - Lots of run off and a wide circuit. Great elevation changes. Fast. Pretty central.

Disadvantages - A Friday meeting so travel on a Thursday.


Accomodation near to each is plentiful. Happy to hear suggestions but generally I stay at a local Premier Inn on the off chance of meeting Lenny Henry.

Quote the reply below adding you name to which event your prefer or both.

Have a good one.

The TVRCC normally organise a TD at Cadwell? It's usually a really good price (offsets the membership fee...) & noise friendly.

Odd post. So we're only allowed to do one trackday a year?????

I am open for a group session at Oulton Park too later in the season (but not in the wet!).

I'll be definately doing Oulton Park this year so I'll let you know. Didn't consider it for this 'event' as it's not as central as Donington or Bedford.

Point 4. of the OP.

Bumpy.

Anymore for anymore?

[mk1fan]

As time is moving on I'll contact the organisers and see if we can get a discount with what we have. Shame they're not all with the same organiser.

[mk1fan]

All are welcome. Read the first post.

[mk1fan]

Will call the relevant organisers tomorrow.

Emailled Javelin re the Donnington day. atom111 and I are doing a double header in August so have asked for a price for a block booking. Will mean money needs to be paid in one go. Once I have a price I'll post it up. Happy to pay it after people Paypal gift me the money.

I can't make Bedford now so I have made no enquiry with MSV.

Afternoon All,

Right I've received word from Javelin about a Block Booking deal. They are offering a free garage. I assume that if we get a couple (2) more cars for Donny then we'll get a second garage. Please don't reply here. I'll start a new thread.
