Croix en Ternois

Does anyone know if any t/d organisers have a car day planned at Croix before July. I've looked at the larger operators but can't find anything.

thanks,

J

You might try one of their "open Sundays" where, if you're a seasoned trackdayer or otherwise confident, pay €100 on the day and er go and have fun. No sessions and no briefing SO not a trackday per se but fun. They do divide up the car types - single seater, saloons and GTs. Oh and you don't have to book just turn up and pay.

This years dates are here.

I went last year for the day and it was jolly good fun. Great bread and coffee as well and the sun shone all the time.

The track, whilst compact is challenging and the bit past the bridge through the "S" approaching the last hairpin is critical for a good lap.

If no sessions on these days, how are the cars actually divided ? Obviously see sense in not letting open wheeled single seaters mix it with saloons etc.

Have only done Croix once - bit of a go kart track really, simple, not at all technical but good fun & a sense of an "away day".

julian, if it's to practice before the bmw race there on 2nd & 3rd theres a test day on the friday 1st just £65 and will at least save you a crossing.

Thanks silverfox.

Calypsoelise - I had originally thought I'd do the test day on the Friday but it only looks like 2 x 20 minute sessions whereas we were hoping to get a fair bit more time, esp. as there's two of us sharing the car so it would only be 20 mins each.

To correct my earlier post - I'd missed deleting the bit about no sessions. There are, as I went on to describe, 3 groups. The machinery was varied as well.

My overriding memory of the day was that everybody was very relaxed and that promoted the element of having good fun.

For that money it's a bargain.

Have fun if you make it there.
