I'll be there this weekend

Anyone else?

I'm driving past with the family in the camper van - wife says I'm not allowed to take said van on track - don't suppose you'd fancy a passenger for a lap?

Am looking to go for a weekend in October. Is it feasible or am I better waiting till spring next year?

Yeah of course

Me and one of my friends are heading over between 28th September and 2nd October.. hoping for good weather otherwise it may be a little hairy in the M3.

[TroubledSoul]

I'm hoping to be there either 1st or 3rd weekend in November

I thought about it but entry is just too rich for me.

Might take the mini out on Friday. If not I'll just wait till Monday and Tuesday as I'll be taking part in a trackday.

Quite a decent vlog about the DN/Ringmeisters days over August Bank Holiday on Misha Charoudin's YouTube channel. The title of the video sums it up; "you get what you pay for".

I really wanted to take my r53 but comming from ireland I just wouldn't survive.. be great to see another though. I'll be over on Tuesday but I know the track is not open so I'll be exploring etc

Indeed however that double header was £1900 whereas the Sep double was £1200 before returning customer discount, fair enough there are 30-40 more spaces ...DN events always well run though and v high driving standards so well worth the cash. If you squeeze in 40 laps over the two days which is doable if not many stoppages it doesn’t work out to much more than what you’d pay per TF lap ...and it’s such a much better quality experience!

Current view from my villa I'm going to call it.. was 26 deg yesterday

[The1Driver]

Hope its looking clear than that this weekend. I arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Yes. Several cars from Scotland all being well.

Regarding cost mentioned above: I dont do TF as the risks to myself, other users and track are too high for me to underwrite so with the likes of DN track days I reduce those risks. The ability to gain extra track time and high quality track conditions is a bonus.

If its a case of getting a couple of laps in and going to the pub TF is fine but if you want to learn the track and improve the way you get around it even an expensive track day has a real value to it.

Yeah, I`ll be in the Golf again ! Can`t bloody wait either.

Although Ringmeisters will take some beating...

Yes

My cost per lap this year at DN19 and RM2018 has been totally insane

But I'm hoping my reliability issues will be resolved for DN20

In my defence I probably have the oldest car with the highest mileage of anything at a DN event

Thanks for pointer to vlog explaining costs. I should have probably made it clearer that when I mentioned cost it wasn't as a criticism of the DN/Ringmeister pricing. It is simply hard for me to afford / justify spending what would be close to £2.5K for a weekend away 'playing cars' as my Mrs puts it. Having looked into it a little more though, it's certainly something I may aim for in the next year or so. I just need to work harder and save more to make it possible!
