As title really, I was told a code last week that took the price down to just £125 for the day, but now I have been given another code knocking it to £99, which is bananas cheap for Silverstone on a Saturday!

Here's what the email I got said, and has all the details you need...

In order to take advantage of this offer, simply use the code CLUB1 at the checkout, click GO and the discount is yours.
Bookings can be made at http://www.traxshows.co.uk/book_now.html

The £99 will buy you seven 20 minute sessions and you’ll also get to watch the qualifying for the final UK round of the European Drift Championship, which takes place at 3.30pm – this will find the top 16 drivers, who will then go through to the knock-out stages held on Sunday at Trax.

Second driver wrist bands will be available on the day at £20 each and passenger wrist bands will be available at £10 each.
More information is available at http://www.redlinemag.com/page/redline?entry=pre_t...

rude not to do this one at this ridiculous price -- I'm in

hope the driving standards are OK -- I suspect plenty of rear facing headgear!

and you get some drifting to watch from 3:30pm to round off the day

Yes your quite right. It WAS like a skating ring... And yes a M3 did have a coming together with the wall.. The wall won.. No i wont be putting any pics of the now very sad looking M3 as i dont believe in broadcasting it...And the fact i havnt got any as i was driving most of the time...
BUT, it was a REALY quiet day. Started out in 2 sessions but VERY quickly went to OPL... ALL day....At one point i was driving for at least 15 mins without seeing another car....UNBELIEVABLE...
It was a day for a VERY light right foot, + GOOD car control,,unfortunately not everybody had one or either......Hardly any stopages though...

BUT the drift boys showed us ALL how it should be done over lunch + then at the end of the day , with qualifying for the EDC today [ Sunday]

All in all a good day if a bit quiet...smile
