Noble Track Day - Rockingham - March

[V6GTO]

I hope to be able to drive back for this, and combine it with a service while in Blighty. Who else will be there?

Martin.

[DanH]

might be. Got any more info?

[AMG Merc]

Looking forward to it - (will be looking for news snippets for a future edition of "Noble News"! :-)

Details have not been posted yet, but I suspect I'll be there!

Count me in Martin... look forward to meeting you.

Cheers,

Just had a thought on this one... Given that the 20th March is a Sunday, any of you fancy a 'get together' on the Saturday night at a hotel somewhere near the circuit? Could be a chance to meet and have a few pints in the process.

Let me know if you're up for it and I'll look into getting a decent price on a group booking at a local tavern.

Cheers,
Dominic

I'll be up for it depending on costs of track day. I'm spoilt on trackday prices thanks to SELOC, so a tad resistant to paying more than necessary. Especially as I get hammered another 200 quid a time for track insurance.

Dan, haven't you tried Pert Insurance. They've given me an excellent quote on the M400 and cover trackdays for just £124 extra per day. That isn't as good as the current one I have with GroupAMA (that's £50 per day) but they don't seem to be renewing that particular policy.

Richard there (0870 2402972) seems a good person.

Thanks for the info Justin, unfortunately I'm on a company policy that is so much cheaper than any open market quote I could get, that its still cheaper to pay the 200 quid a time (although thats only about 13k of cover not the full car). It just brings home the cost of trackdays a tad when the cost is per event

I'm up for the Sunday in March too.

Staying overnight would be a good idea for me as it's a wee bit too far to travel from Lytham St Annes and back in one day.

Hopefully see a good few of you there.

How much cheaper? £200, £500?

Depends. It seems with Peart you get cover for the whole value of the car (useful if it was written off into some Armco....) but with a 6k excess, so it's a bit of swings and roundabouts me thinks.

How many trackdays do you need to do before you "break even"?

Well right now insurance is 'free', going by quotes I got, I'd be paying >2k given my location/age/etc. So a lot of track days!

Ah - I see

Excellent news. Been hoping this would have happened before. Now will it be the 3R or the M10. Hmmm.

[hunttheshunt]

Need to sort out some Track insurance but I certainly hope to be there!

[Ash GTO 3R]

damn domcross.

Now that is tempting, I am interested, please could you let me know costs.

Will do. I'm out of the country tomorrow for a few days but will get to work on it when I get back.

For all interested in staying the Saturday night...

I've spoken with the Hotel Elizabeth Rockingham and they only have a handful of rooms left for Saturday 19th March due to some sort of function on over the weekend. They're not very keen to offer a special rate but if you can mail be before the end of tomorrow letting me know if you're interested I can use the old buying power trick. Mail me at: [e-mail]

Cheers,
Dom.
