basically we aim to run trackdays throughout the year for all the guys who like to have legal fun on occasion. pushing our cars to a limit in safer circumstances

we've already had our first trackday at llandow nr cardiff to some success and looking to build on that.

we also intend to have social meets and other fun activities.

check out our website for more information, a forum for lighthearted car chat, plus galleries of events we've covered.

Thanks for your time

Pot, kettle er black?!

[Davey S1]

Up yours Steffano

I do have a suitable car it's just not on the road yet.

Are you in for the track day as well or are you going to do what you did on the last Lotus run (drive for a few miles then limp the car back home)

[steff]

Track day sounds good as long as the rest of my car doesnt pack up/fall apart.

Haven't they fixed your dodgem car yet?!

[sorrento205]

ok guys, meeting is scheduled wednesday.

need to ask your opinions, would you be up for a trackday before the christmas period, bear in mind the probable crap weather for both on the track and people on the sideline...

were in talks with llandow for possible dates but need to know if its going to be worth running one at this time of year?

Cheers

[Davey S1]

I would be. There would probably be about 4-5 of the other Lotus boys interested as well.

Any idea on likely cost?

[sorrento205]

last trackday we had cost £80 if i remember right, and that was pretty much unlimited track time

we will definately have a closed session though, for people who have not experienced trackdays before. i will be one of these of the next outing

[dick dastardly]

I too would be interested in this, provided I have finally bought a new motor by that time. Keep us updated

Looking for anything in particular Dick? You could always take the BMW. Rear wheel drive is usually lots of fun on track.

[dick dastardly]

Probably is, but I'm too afraid that the wheels'll fall off my car the minute it hits 80!

In shortlist includes:

Alfa Romeo GTV coupe 3.0
BMW E36 M3 3.0
Honda S2000
Lotus Elise mk1
Porsche 911 (964)
TVR Chimaera 4.0

These are the cars it keeps coming back to when ever I serisoulsy think about it. I was hoping to start the buying process at the end of the summer but as I recently bought my first house and it's proving twice as expensive to do up as planned it'll be a little longer yet.

[Badapple]

any update on the trackday?

[sorrento205]

sorry i havent been back to keep you guys updated. work commitments

im afraid theres no news so far. i believe we're still waiting to finalise a date with llandow, i'll try and find out more tomoro

[sorrento205]

just a note to say im still waiting for news from the guys organising the trackday. Again, as soon as i get anything you will be made aware a.s.a.p

[Davey S1]

Good lad. Keep us posted.

I mentioned it to some of the Lotus boys yesterday who were all keen.
