Porsche GT track day

[hunter 66]

Will book Anglesea ( never been there ) and SS , but JC join us at Le Mans Classic , will be fun

[ChrisW.]

Thanks for answering the questions

I am insured with Manning ... I have found them to be very professional and easy to deal with ...

Would you believe that they used to include European other than "Ring" insurance in the price !!

[TDT]

Likewise gonna book PCGB Anglesey (also never been), and PCGB Silverstone - nice to catch up with familiar faces.

Very keen for another Spa trip, already booking for 2-day there end of March, so would like to go back later in the year also. Want2Race looks good.

s others say, there are firms who will include track day cover for a certain number of events per year, provided they are organised by a recognised club (e.g. PCGB) or accredited track day organiser (ATDO etc.).

I use A Mannings and have found them good. They will not include Nurburgring cover within this (though most don't) but will for a one-off, per event fee.

Manning cover the Ring within there euro cover of £250 day for cars less than £100k or £500 if value greater

See you at Anglesey

Yep, looking forward to it now!

FWIW. The day fee for the Ring is also the same for Spa.

Yup, I use Manning as well and have booked Spa through Gold Track on 2nd June.. Hopefully Anglesey will at least let me get a tiny bit acclimatised before that. Instruction with Calum Lockie through GTrack is superb by the way, at least to me it is!

Ditto. A great track with very relaxed noise police (non existent, practically), though the driving standards tend to range from sight seeing to Sunday drivers....... Of course, there are exceptions, but be prepared for a frustrating morning and better afternoon. Having said that, don't be put off, it's a lovely venue if the weather gods are smiling.

See you there.

Mike.

They quote 2 prices so think you just pay a bit more if you're not a member. PCGB membership is worth it though imo

Ok cheers

For starting out the Porsche days are very good.

1. I wouldn't say tame (Cuno !) ... but I would say polite
2. Inexpensive and multiple instructors ... it is worth getting to know them and learning their differences !
3. Photographs of the day
4. Ineresting cars
5. And interesting owners !!

Some others allow overtaking on both sides which is particularly good once you are tuned to looking behind as well as you do in front ... and it enables overtakes to be less disruptive of line and pace ...

Some are cheaper offering a far more intense experience often with Clio's and Caterhams etc coming from all directions, which can be intimidating and the Caterhms can be very hard to see ...

The number of red flags is a very good indication of the quality of the day

Zero is fab !

P.S. I forgot the passenger rides !

I prefer Lotus on Track to PCGB days. Better and more even mix of driver capabilities, wider range of tracks, just as friendly, well run and on the whole less expensive.

I'd agree with this only done 3 of there days and was more than happy with the days. None of this run sessions for 1st hour or when we decide to go open pit lane rubbish.

Also extremely well priced, their Spa day 27th July is only £325, did it last year was a great day with only 1 red flag from memory

I would agree, I just got caught out at Zolder with a noise limit ...

[gtsralph]

I’m at Goodwood for the first time in 3 years on Feb 29 on a LoT day with a 718 GT4 which will make less than 98db on static noise, hopefully drive by will be OK as well. My previous car with 103db static regularly exceeded drive by limit even on 105db days.

Is there an oulton day early 2020?

[Rsx Boy]

Whos going to the 2020 event on the 6th March at Oulton?

[BrotherMouzone]

Hi, I can’t go to the RS Day at Oulton anymore (6th March), so have a place (£199) and a session with instructor (£25) for sale.

I’d prefer to sell them together; I got 10% off so total £201.60.

Anyone would like to take my place please pm me.

The March RS track day at Outlon tends to get sold out straightaway with most places being offere 'grandfather rights' style, to previous year's attendees.

In other news, just booked the PCGB Silverstone track day, 3rd August.

If anyone cant make it to the rs day, and wants to sell their ticket, pm me.
