Trying to get a few PH'ers together for a good track day. Have just returned from the RING and need to get on track again. Motorsport events run this one, they are well organised and friendly.
Date 17th Oct Keevil (near Trowbridge) open Pit lane.
The track is an airfield job, so nice and safe, ideal for 1st timers, Pretty long at over 2 miles, hairpins and sweepers. Explore the limit of your cars in safety.
Cost is only £ 89 for the whole day. There is instruction if required. It would be great to get a few of us together, maybe a nice run through Radstock, etc, to get there.
There website is www.motorsport-events.co.uk they are taking bookings now.
WHO IS UP FOR IT?

Surface same as Hallavington, not bad, slippery in wet.
Track layout however is a lot better, not so hard on brakes, good high speed corners, £10 cheaper, a must I think. Also be nice to catch up with local Ph'ers as I have only met a couple, at a place were we can really go for a blast. Also trip there good fun too, from Bristol.

Must admitt I was expecting more people to be up for it than this. People should "STOP" polishing & posing & "START" driving and sliding. This is an airfield, what better place to improve your driving skills and explore the limits of the car in safety.

P.S. It does'nt matter what you drive as long as you DRIVE IT.

Agent. Have you tried different pads, braided hose or even just 5.1 fluid. I have a friend with an s4 and he comes with me to Castle Combe all the time.

Dazren, I see you have an M5, you must be 8ft tall if the seat won't allow you to wear a helmet.

Helmet hire is £10 for the day. Passengers & additional drivers only £10 too.

Agent, be nice to see you there, maybe next time driving if the cars on form.

Neil, only need your driving licence, that's it.
Remember everybody aprox 100 dec @ 4500rpm (noise testing) Only very illegal pipes would fail this.
