Hi All
Looking to do a few track days this year, not just the TVRCC one at Cadwell Park, so have been having a look around and fancy one or two of the following....

30/05/12 Donnington Park National Circuit, 98dB Driveby, Open Pit Lane, £200, apextrackdays.com (ATDO approved)
or
01/06/12 Castle Coombe, 100dB Static, Open Pit Lane, £170, castlecoombecircuit.co.uk

and
02/07/12 Castle Coombe, 100dB Static, Open Pit Lane, £159, apextrackdays.com (ATDO approved)

Be really great to get a few TVRs together for some track day fun...... biggrin
I've only done TVRCC Cadwell PArk so far so open to plenty of suggestions for which tracks and which organisers to use....

Please post up if you fancy any of the above... or where you've already booked
Cheers

Always up for taking mine on track but those circuits are a bit far to travel to regularly for me.

I normally look to go to Brands and Snetterton (although not done the new 300 layout) and will definitely go to Spa in October.

Might book Cadwell but need to check other dates first and it's a long way for me to travel when track time is limited.

Castle Coombe's a good track but 100db may be tricky. I have standard (but well used) exhausts on my T350t but struggle with noise test there.
I(and a few TVR buddies) usually do 2 or 3 days a year with Easytrack, happy to recommend them.

Hi Redspike, yet to meet you but we share a similar passion!
You must try and get out to Spa with us, there will be around 5/6 TVR just in our group going out in October for two days hopefully tied in with some TVR racing! Please tag along the more TVR the more fun.
Paul i will try and get to Donnington this Saturday to support you and Warren, good luck and kick ass!
As for Uk dates just booked Cadwell with TVR club but there is Oulton on the 21st of this month and some cheap evening sessions at Brands Indy coming up! I'm pritty much up for as much track time as possible this year so whoever is on whatever dates PM me and i'll try and make it work permiting!

I really fancy doing one of the open pit lane evening sessions at Brands. I cant do the ones on the 24th April or 2nd May. I can make the 3rd which is showing on this list:
http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/car-ca...

but it disapears when clicking through and not sure what a novice mini is?

Other than that it is sessions on the 1st or later in the month. Both would be better driving

That's a novice session for only Mini/BMW cars but no idea why it disappears on the Club MSV site!

Have not done a sessions format at Brands but there open pit lane format works very well and all the Club MSV track days are well run in my experience.

Apart from TVRCC day at Cadwell I haven't booked anything yet...
First TD of the year will have to be in May sometime (can't fit anything in April)..

SPA is definitely on the list for this year... Thought the dates were early October....Who to book with ?? CircuitDays ??

Will PM you any I book - note: at Donny 28/29th to support ItsAllYellow (not me !)
