Lydden Hill Bank Holiday Saturday 23 August

[Stubby Pete]

One of the bargains of the summer, full day (with a break for lunch) open pit lane and only £130.

I went last year and there were never more than 6 or 7 cars on the track at any one time. A really good opportunity for novices to have a go and the more experienced to hone their skills.

See linky here.

Anybody else going and what will you be driving?

I went on a day there last year and there was no passengers allowed. Is that still the case?

[Stubby Pete]

Last time I went, passengers were allowed but not sure now.

I've asked them the question so watch this space for an answer.

According to the bumpf I got for the above track day, no passengers are allowed unless it's their approved instructor.

Oh, and I think it is sessioned - the one I went to earlier this year certainly was, which was a good thing IMHO as there were a number of racing teams testing their cars. Being a novice trackday driver, I really wouldn't want to be on the track at the same time as these guys!

Other than that I really rate it, it's a good track especially if you're in an underpowered shed like my MX5.

I went there in June:

• no passengers
• overtaking either side, without invitation
• sessioned: novice, intermediate, fast groups
• free instruction; as said there instructors are the only peeps allowed in the car with you. Great guys, 'go faster!', 'don't brake yet!'

Personally i love it. Its more like a test day. Not having to wait for people to bloody indicate or move and you can go past either side. Fast group was proper quick as well.

To those that care!

I have checked with Lydden Hill Race Circuit.

No passangers allowed with the exception of their instructor.

Day is sessioned, with a total of 8 sessions per driver (I think it was 8 but I was drunk when they called back!).

Look forward to seeing fellow Phers there.
