Did that say a capacity of 600 riders? At one track?

One would assume 120 at each of the 5 days no? Pretty standard number for a trackday.

Just checking.

Do you have to buy a set of their tyres from the link or on the day?

[obscene]

Still have my tyres from last year and haven't done Anglesey yet

[Gavia]

Expensive though if you have to buy Michelins to do it.

You have to buy tyres from a participating dealer then upload your receipt when booking your place, although Mr OCD says they never checked his receipt, I'm tempted but I've never spent £275 on a pair of tyres in my life but if you do two of the days it's good value I think.

[Mr OCD]

You just need a pair of current Michelin tyres on the bike... they even include PR5's now. As said I didn't upload my receipt / invoice and I wasn't asked either but I bought the Power RS in September and will need another set around May / June so with two receipts I've booked two days!

I'm not sure I am allowed to do that mind - but will find out... if not then I pass a copy of a receipt / invoice to anyone (you could always pick up a used set) ... its a £49 day that should be circa £150-£200 at that time of year.

Just got this from Powerdays:

'You are fine to run as many Powerdays as you would like. The only proviso is that you are approved Michelin tyres, bought this season, from an approved supplier'

That's Anglesey and Cadwell booked then for the Summer!

Just bought a set of Power RS's but not from the local participating dealer as I couldn't be bothered fannying about by taking the bike from getting its service done and then ride it a mile up the road so had them supplied and fitted at the same time as the service. Darn it.

Can't see that being an issue to be honest. Drop them an email and ask.

Feck! Would have done the same days, guess I'm out

£260 for a set of the road 5's....but a cheap trackday......it's tempting

[moanthebairns]

I did these at oulton and knockhill last year, I bought michelins evo cup but it pissed down both days, I rode in my metz wets, no one checked, nor asked to see receipts. I did however cover them up all day with tyre warmers because although I'm tight I'm not stupid.

I remember that ... lets hope its dry this time and you aren't going to jinx the weather !!!

The way to look at it is if you already have them or need new tyres anyway then its worth it. If you are buying tyres for the sake of a TD then book at least a couple to make it worthwhile.

are they still doing the £30 money back voucher

Not to my knowledge.
