Trackday Brands Hatch next Weds 1st May!

[Cerb999]

Right I haven't posted on here for ages because I've been busy and sulking about missing out on the annual Spa trip again.....but I've just impulsively booked a place for this trackday next weds with MSV

Belated birthday pressie to myself and I'm off after working nights next week so why not?! It's only down the road from me too

Anyone else up for it?

I know it's a weekday and short notice but you never know!

Hi Simon - missed you at Spa! Gather you were on TV the other night though? I didn't catch you unfortunately!

It's a brilliant idea for Wednesday, unfortunately won't be able to join you, first day of a new job and will be in Wales!

Hasve a great time

Do you know what the rules are regarding spectators? Mine is still off the road, but it'll be my birthday on the Weds so might pop down on the bike to have a butchers at the cars going round.

I'm pretty sure that you can just turn up and watch no problem. MSV are a bit mean charging £10 to be a passenger (some companies don't charge for this) but you'd be welcome to hop in if you want....you might want to decide that AFTER you've seen me drive a few laps

Would be good to see you there anyway

Hi Nikki! Wassup Rog!

Yes I have been sulking about missing Spa but I reckon I'll be up for the next trip

Finally solved my long-term cold-start problem which I will post about, so I think it's time to have some fun again.

Hope to see you soon somewhere....and my mum is very proud

Sounds great to me! What time are you arriving at the track?

[Cerb999]

Well I'm aiming to be there to sign on before the briefing at 8.30....but I'm always late!

The website says you have to book passengers in advance but I'm pretty sure that you can do it on arrival.

Let me know what time you reckon you'll be there and I'll look out for you

Even if the Cerb wasn't in the garage, not sure I'd get away with a TD on my wedding anniversary

PS Can I have your autograph?

PPS Its surprising how many of us actually watch Ch 5 lol

[Cerb999]

Cheers Nikki

Fubes it would be a great anniversary present
Hope the yellow beast is back on the road soon. You missed Spa too didn't you? Lets do something later in the summer.

Right need to sleep!

Amen

What a great day!
The sun was out, the track seemed empty half the time and road cars only....which meant that the two Sags and myself were eating everything else for breakfast
In my completely unbiased opinion

Good to meet you Mike (RedSpike66) and the other guys in the Sag that I never got a chance to talk to! You were always out when I was in or vice versa....although I did get some good video chasing you round for a few laps which I'll try to get onto YouTube sometime :thumb up:

Good to meet you too James. Hope you enjoyed the passenger laps. Probably not the brake pedal going long so much
In the excitement I forgot to say Happy Birthday!

I'll try to get some pics uploaded soon too.

Best of all the car went all day without any problems and was absolutely glued to the track. After curing my long term cold start problem I LOVE my Cerb again!

This thread needs pictures and a lot of video.

[Cerb999]

Right, I've finally uploaded a video of us chasing one of the Sags...I'm hoping it's here:

My first attempt at this so fingers crossed....

If it works I'll put some more on

Some pics coming too I hope!

[FUBAR]

Glad I'm not the only one with a bouncy rev counter

[Cerb999]

Yes i've got used to that but it is very bouncy!

Here's some pics:



Tom Chilton earning a few extra quid taking people for hot laps in his (heavily modified) GT-R



Nice purple Sag...



or is it orange...?



One of them was definitely orange



So sunny that some shade was needed



Braking into Druids



It really is a rollercoaster ride coming through Paddock Hill to Druids...





Nice RX-7...Nice wheels



That's definitely the orange one





A few of the other cars on track



Definitely purple....
