Aston Martin only track day

[burntout]

Update.......

Petrolburners one for you....

Message back from Will at Rockingham.


Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay in coming back to you, just an update, been having a chat with our circuit manager and both agree that it would be a shame to have an Aston Martin event and exclude models for noise restrictions. Therefore we will raise the noise limitations on the day to accommodate!

Thanks,

Will

Not sure I'm brave/stupid enough to track the Aston just yet but would be interested in just having a drive over to watch/blag passenger laps if that was allowed.

Watch my video posted above. Barely more than 6 - 8 cars out at any one time. Safe as houses.

Its so safe you will be surprised, you can go at your own pace, no one will carry out any touring car manoeuvres on you

There will be a "Strictly NO Racing" policy in place on the day. And you will be wearing the biggest grin on your face for weeks after.

In fact I enjoyed it so much I sold my previous Aston and had a race car built and did it properly for a while... LOL.... Then ran out of money and bought another Aston.... :

Mr.Tremlini said:

I should add to this post that provided I can make it, and I really think I should be able to, I will certainly bring a camera, so when I`m not on track myself I can get some shots of you other folks hooning around for your visual gratification!

LOL No one can say not enough notice...

Pictures would be great..... Not forgetting there could be some really nice old Astons coming as well, as this is being organised by myself and Tim Butcher from the AMOC....

Would be really great to have a good mixture.....

My strongest advice is that if you live more than 2 hours drive away from Rockingham 'Stay the night in a local Hotel'. It is a long day with plenty of track time and you will not believe how tired you will be at the end of it.

That's a good couple of points there.... The photos from the Rockingham day I went to were amazing. Will have to look back at the old thread.. Also good to get there the night before, hotel is like 2 mins away can all have some drinks and some food..

I stayed another night last time as was too knackered to drive home

I have contacted Dom, the photographer and this was his response......

Hi Paul

Hope your well, happy to come along I’ll pencil the date in the diary now for you.

Regarding costs how does £35 per person sound, I believe going from memory that’s what we did last time . I’ll process the images put everything on a download link and you can send it round to all the drivers assuming people do at least a couple of laps every one should get a decent selection of images .

Let me know your thoughts

Speculatore said:

It was £20 per car last time and we had around the 20 car mark giving him £400 cash in hand. If you have more cars I would still go for £20 a car and if he makes more money then all the better for him.

100% agree. No Aston tax!

I will go back to him to see what he says....

On a high note, 21 cars already... This is going to be an epic day..... :

[burntout]

WOW the numbers are growing........

Had word back from Dom (the photographer) he says he will happily attend for £20-00 cash per car as long as there is a minimum of 40 cars....

That is a big jump in his fees. He attended last time for 20GBP per car and I think we had 20 cars. As an alternative I remember a thread last year where someone asked if he could photograph forum members Astons as he was building his portfolio to become a professional automotive photographer. He was possibly a family member of someone on the forum. Might be worth trying to find the thread.

I will get him to read this thread see what he says... TBH I am not that fussed about photos, although nice to have something to look back on... Only my opinion but I don't think £20-00 per person is a lot... Maybe ask for a set price for the day and just split it amongst every one? This all just needs to please all of us...

jgph said:

Did you get all noise restrictions lifted - OK for a GT12?

Be keen to add my name if I can.

Glad to say they have now agreed to no noise restrictions for our day... Will be awesome to see the GT8's and GT12's there...

rovcallum said:

Is there a date pencilled in for this yet? Very much looking forward to it.

The date is set for Friday 20th of April.

I will be tidying up all the finer details before Xmas.

[burntout]

Quick question......

How many of you attending this event are members of the Aston Martin owners Club???

[burntout]

V8V Pete said:

Not me. If it's important should we add it as another column on the attendance list?

No its not overly important.... I was just chatting to Tim Butcher from the AMOC and he asked the question... Because a lot of interest in this event already he was saying that they lay on some excellent events throughout the year that we could all be missing out on.
