Hi Jeron,

I don't think any tuition would be available on the day, give them a call to see what they suggest along with the helmet hire.

Should be a nice spring drive if it's dry.

There are other non PH sessions available, the ones I have listed are exclusive PH sessions.

Ok I am a heathen but the “Sunday Service” at the NEC I thought was some religious service and it now appears as an event at Silverstone. Can you give it another tag line/title?

Can I bring the dog along? I think this is the only SS he hasn't been to yet smile
Dogs are not usually allowed into Silverstone - Certainly not for a race meeting

Dogs and fast cars don't mix well.

Need to find a pub for parking for a few hundred and a big screen for the Aus F1 GP - unless Silverstone will entertain a projector setup somewhere? (which would be cool!)

Will be a great chance to see all the PH Driving Gods making fools of themselves hehe
FBLOL!! I'll be one of them with a group of mates, hoping & praying not to come to any harm!

We're booked into a non-PH session that's running in the morning, because we paid up about 3 weeks ago from the Silverstone web site before this was announced. Looking forwards to it!!! driving

You can hire helmets for 10 quid on the day according to the Silverstone site: http://www.silverstone.co.uk/track/track-club/

If everyone else and you follow the drivers etiquette in the briefing you'll be fine. I'm sure everyone else will play by the rules and I'm equally sure that marshal's will be enforcing the rules rigorously. It'll be disappointing if people don't behave and make lower power vehicles or novices feel uncomfortable.

It says on the Silverstone website there will be free instruction on familiarisation laps for first timers. I'm guessing/hoping as there are normal Taster sessions running all morning that this will be available?

Generally speaking, do people do track days uninsured?

I'm in the MX-5 and going with JeronH, already excited to have a enormous and hugely expensive accident in front of the PH fraternity.

Perhaps I am just scared of taking a 40bhp car on track for my first time on track ...

I would bring my Golf GTI but its a bit boring (and crap) to take to a Sunday Service!

Mine is the Mk4 probably the worst golf ever made

Running 230bhp so quick in a straight line but really is a barge in the corners...

And yes I have seen that! I may apply then smile

Do you need a helmet? Think I have one from when I used to have a 125cc motorbike but not sure if it has to be anything special

Also worried about the noise limits what is 102db like in terms of a production car? As my mini does make a racket!
