Hmmm only a 20 minute drive to the circuit instead of 3 1/2 hours to Cadwell 
I've only done the last three TVRCC Cadwell track days in my Cerb. How would a novice get on at one of these more public track days? I don't want to be a mobile chicane for all the more experienced folk
Thanks!

In truth, I have found them to be no different. There seems to be an entrenched belief that these 'open' trackdays are only attended by those intent on crashing in to you. They are not.
The 'rules' are the same - overtake with consent on specified side, not in braking zone or in the corners.
You have to use you mirrors and drive with consideration - ie, if someone catches you then they are faster, little lift, indicate and let them by on the straight.
Same marshalls and 'clerk of the course' so bad driving has the same consequences.
Come along and see for yourself. I have booked a garage. Phazed is coming in his porkwagon. Another TVR would be great.

Hello guys and gals.
I’m well up for it, have a TVR Chim 450 with Supercharger. Would be a nice blast out to blow out the cob webs before she goes to bed for winter.

Was a really good day.
Started out damp but the sun was out and it dried up nicely.
While wiring in my new third brake light I discovered the brake lights weren't working. Turned out the microswitch wasn't opening up enough.
By the time it was sorted the track was dry and project tyre scrub continued.
Phazed also took me out in the Skoda to show me how it should be done.
Lots of fun. An added bonus getting fuel at 1.57
