I'll be instructing on that one, I think it may be the best price for an open pit trackday on the GP circuit this year.

Cool...will look out for you, but you can come and find me (Henna E30 M3)...

As it happens I was considering taking advantage of the (free) S-grade instruction on offer...I've been racing (on and off) since 1983 and I've done loads of meetings and trackdays, yet never had any instruction...

Sounds good to me, even with lots of experience there's always alternative ways of doing things that another set of eyes might pick up.

Just for the record, not all the instructors will be S grade (I'm not for starters!), ARDS suggest that instructors should be at least a B grade to instruct on trackdays and I think we'll end up with two A and two S grades if it's the same team as last year.

I presume this event is only for those with a BMW, if not I would love to sign up.

Steve, do you know if there is a limit of Non-BMW's as I and 3 friends would like to sign-up?

AFAIK, there is no limit on non-BMWs...

The original post (from E30Zone):

Silverstone BMW Trackday,
Monday 24th September 2012

Full 'Arena' GP Circuit
Open Pitlane
Full use of the entire Silverstone 'Wing' garages
Free ARDS instruction (three of my guys are ARDS grade S 'super-instructors')
Dedicated novice schooling and tutorials
Friendly club atmosphere
Non member guests welcome
Non BMW's welcome
Trophies and prizes

BMWCC Members £275 - Guests £325 - that's the cheapest day there this year by a country mile.. BookEasyGold and all them want around £400 off you.

I keep the entry numbers low so we all get plenty of time on circuit.

Over 30 years at Silverstone - we have been coming here each Autumn since the 70's!
The daddy of all Club trackdays - This for us is where it all began, out on the grand prix circuit and we are still enjoying it.
We don't share with anyone, we bite the bullet and book the whole place as an exclusive hire, we always have - not a bad achievement for a small one marque members club!
If you only do one trackday this year, do this one - nobody runs a Silverstone trackday like we do!

Regards
Nick
