Prime booked up only 18 spots left on that one chaps, impressive early season demand !
I’ve heard many of the other operators are getting good bookings also. Maybe the increase of driving the ring is pushing them to do some decent trackdays rather than do TF.
No bad thing but numbers are limited!

All Porsche Club GB’s UK trackdays sold out early this year. Even earlier than last. Didn’t manage to book a single one.

Seems the way it is at the moment. I’m out of touch to a degree with uk stuff but have a feeling that many people like you will be missing events as for some it’s not easy to commit so early prior to the event.

I have done 4 CD Ring days and one DN so far last year. No complaints on Circuitdays they are pretty busy I'm pretty sure there can be approaching 200 cars which can get pretty busy (correct me if I'm wrong) but no complaints at all for the price they do it for. CD days migrated me out of doing TF days and I'll probably do more CD Ring dates but then is a bit of an event and the quality track time is really worth the extra money. The no noobs rule is handy as well for those that want to crack on with some decent track time.

Some of the circuit days this year were really good for traffic. Big chunks of time when it seemed that everyone was in the diner rather than enjoying the track!

I normally book PCGB early. I’d been away on an mtb trip the weekend the dates dropped and that was that. Missed.

Went for a walk today. Lots of safety infrastructure work going on.
Warning lights, cameras, matrix boards? Let’s hope so as the safety has declined with the ever mot busy track use allied to the extremely out-dated existing systems and protocol.
When will it be finished…. How long is a piece of string?

I can’t believe it but will be 11 years since I last went, planning a trip with my youngest petrolhead mad son, at 13yo he will be too young to attend a trackday so have to opt for TF. I’ve done around 500 laps so hopefully the grey matter will remind me which way to go biggrin the insurance worries the hell out of me these days in my younger years I didn’t give two hoots!

It’s a long trip for us (live in the Lakes) so thinking ferry to Hull then two full days at The Ring, maximum 12 laps. What else is worth doing?
I’ll take him karting, but of spectating, walk around some of the track, anything else.

TIA

On the way from Rotterdam visit Zolder and Spa. You should visit Cocham for nice cake and a castle,

Classic Remise is an excellent call.

Some friends lived in Dusseldorf, overlooking top end of Volksgarten for a couple of years. Wife and I went to stay and they suggested a stroll through the park to a 'mystery location' - which was that. Utterly gobsmakced by the place.
