As title, MSV are doing a good deal on that day.

Open pit lane on a fantastic track, the whole 300 circuit!

This track is huge, long straights, fast bends, huge run offs and must be one of the safest tracks around, hugely enjoyable smile

The reason for the discounted price is that for a maximum of 20 minutes in every hour the track will be used for formula 4 testing.

As we never stay out all the time, that'll be the time to catch up on tea and tell everyone else how fast you went passing that GT3 down the back straight!
It will also be fun to see those formula 4s in action!

MSV are willing to reserve a group of tiv spots if there is enough interest so after several of you had a taster at Bedford a few weeks ago, how about a day at a proper track?

I'm in cool

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrhhhhh, that's how much it hurts but I got to face reality. You've got me wanting to try the 300 out Peter but I'm excepting austerity for about a ,,,,,,,,,,,, week! See if someone wants to pay there bill,,,,,I might do it! I'm also hoping to do Marham so probably to close together.

See you at Marham Colin, I'll bring to packs!!

Really wish I could book up everytime Peter, you should be supported by as many of us as possible. Bedford was thrilling and to get the discount was such a bonus, all the tiv's there, really great stuff.
If anyone is thinking of dipping their toe in the trackday thing. Do it, you'll learn your car like never before. It's not racing, you can go as fast or slow as you like. It's the best time you'll ever have in your car. I'm biased but it's true. With experienced heads around you will soon be hooked. Why else do you own a tiv! Smile.

I think I will adopt Wednesday as an extra weekend day, then it won't be so long until the weekend on Monday morning. Had enough of working today....and still a couple of hours work to do and the hardship of 87 miles in the Chimaera to go see the client.....

The big question is.....roof on or off at (err hum) 70 on the A1 southbound.....

Anthony that's a disgace I'm sure I managed a full circle of steering input! No no you won't see me driving like that in a hurry! Seen a vid of the track, bloody quick, need to respect the place.
I've got the youth thing out my system I'm going to take a progressive approach.
Ironic because since Bedford I have a new found love/ respect for the car.
I've got plenty of time to get up to speed in my own car let alone yours Anthony, I'll be very respectfull. I'm going to Marham with the idea of gentle rev controlled runs, just feel out the handling. Yeah right!???!
I had one moment at Bedford that could have easily had me flipping sideways! It's never going to be safe but I do want to get the car as safe as possible. Rollbar/ harness/seat. Inter changeable back to original! As I'm semi retired it seems, it just takes time!
Sorted a couple of elec Niggles, new F tyres, fitted fire extinguisher etc today, cars ready for Marham anyway. Well pleased with the old girl.

Picking up my Roll Centre roll cage today. Bolts to the chassis. Just got to work out how to fit it (once I have sprayed it Starmist Blue)
