Track Day - Oulton Park on 9th July

[Braddy]

Hi, is anyone doing the TVR track day at Oulton Park?

It's my first so looking for pointers from anyone who has done one before.

REckon I'll be taking it easy but looking forward to it :-)

[cirvy]

We'll be there, looks like a few Cerbs doing it so should be good fun, not been to Oulton for a few years but as i remember it's a superb circuit, very challenging

[TooTall Paul]

I'll be there, it would be great to see a few more Cerbs too, come on you lot get your names down it's a superb circuit, lets go pass some Caterhams !!!

[VYT]

I took the T350 last year. Day was curtailed by a cracked Cat but it was fun, if a bit scary.

Bradders,

Another cerb here. If it is your first track day, my advice is dial yourself in slowly. You have all day, so dont try and go full blatters from the off, and watch other peoples lines. Secondly, we have instructors available, and they can really help.

see you there.

[Daftlad]

I'll be there in my cerb. I've done a few track days but its a first for the cerb, and my first in a cerb.

Really looking forward to it.

[kevin63]

I'lll be there in my cerby but only watching.

[daftlad]

Thats 8 including the last three

[TooTall Paul]

Does anybody know the best route to get there, ill be coming from Leeds /Bradford way. Last time i ended up in Wales

[trackcar]

oh FFS!!! arrghhhh. I'm on holiday, the only effing holiday I've had for effing years and there's a cerbera frenzy on at oulton. ffs ffs ffs ffs ffs.

I was looking forward to showing you all up (except tootallpaul of course who's awesome!) lol.

joo.

TooTallPaul - I'm sure there will be people going from Leeds/Bradford, so ask at Esholt on Monday night re a convoy.

If not, J19 M6 on the A556 to Chester and turn left on the A49 towards Tarporley and you'll see signs.

Alternatively, J10 on M56 down the A49; it is more cross country but it's a nice road and puts you in "mind" for track daying.

[TooTall Paul]

You know what to do Joo, CANCEL the Holiday.

Is there a site or post with the track day details on it? Times, costs etc? Cheers

[tvrinbfg]

Rich25 - It's £169.00 and booking is through the TVR Car Club on 01952-822126 (£174 if you are not a member). You'd need to be there for 0830ish. You need to bring your own helmet. There is a beginners' group and then two ordinary groups per hour, so you get 20 minutes track time per hour. They send out joining instructions telling how to prep your car. There are usually 3-4 instructors and most of the people who go are friendly, if you need help at the track.

Edit to add: You need to bring your driving licence too.

Depends How old the back box is, if there is no wadding left in it you may struggle but 105db is quite loud so hopefully you'll be ok.
