TUES 13th - but there are more opportunities Jon: Griff thunder?

Would be great to see you test the brakes at CPZ.

Under 1:50 and beers are my treat.

Do you have a link to form etc?

I remember back in 2000 or 2001 (HARC events I did in TR4 and then TR6 back then), when there and was watching a race with two Cambridge Motorsport prepped (they had a big transporter in the pits for all their cars) Griff in. Fairly sure they spanked everyone - they were epic. Realised then I had to have one.....

HARC is alright - check their website to get dates:

The link to the CPZ trackday is:

Spanking at Zandvoort: I guess you'll need to get to know the track to do just that. It's technical, heavy on tires and brakes.

My kinda 6:



Everything goes . . . and quick.

Would be great to team up Jon.

Hmmm - May race clashes with a Thoroughbreds Double header at Brands.

The race I could do would be TR / MG Competion one - so if I went that way I'd have to get and International race license (2.5x the cost and the extra for an ECG medical).

Definately mulling over though. Would bring a TR rather than the Griff for that.

Where is the best place to book this track. Having played this as my my favourite track on the PS2 I would love to drive it!

How far is it from Calais?

4 of us booked on this as well with 4 x 996 GT3's

Would also like to know recommendations for accomodation. Best Western? NH Zandvoort? Or anywhere nice just inland a bit? We don't need to be on the see front.

There are a 2 star "Centre Parcs" in walking distance from the track. Cheap and cheerful if sharing.

Thanks. Anything a bit more up-market? We are going to be driving to the track anyway :-)

Are those other hotels any good?

Don't like driving in Amsterdam. Perhaps some don't mind

When in Amsterdam you either walk, ride a bicycle or grab a taxi.

DF Trackday at Zandvoort:

Built like tanks, powerfull and agile: perfect track toy.


Drivers had the sun in their backs. Straight towards Tarzan is on the rightside.


No tracktime for this beauty queen.


A handfull at play, a glorious sight and sound.


Boyracer Pug did well, makes me think of the 'Ring-AX Special. No diesel in this Jewish Racing Gold one though.


Pubstories.


Swift Suzukis made me think.
