I just booked to go on this on the 28th June!

It is with Chris Harris and the cars, fuel, tyres and possible damage are all paid for by someone else, which will be a great change from the usual TDay worries!

I know these days get booked up really quickly and have also heard that they are excellent.

Would be great if some fellow PHers could come too.

Only £199 for the full day! I booked onto the 28th June date (wed) at Silverstone. (surely the tyres cost more than that!!)

They even give you an autoglym car kit worth £40 which I got when I signed up to Autocar subscription and is "really" worth £40!

Can't wait!


Anyone else up for it?

Well unless its different to the PH one, its more of a caterham driving experience with some cones set up in an autotest type course. Mostly I learnt, that caterhams on very narrow long life tyres were easy to drift, and that Elises/Nobles were harder

So, was it good fun and worth it? Bearing in mind the true and total cost of a trackday in my Noble, I think its great value for money.

I shall sport a burbury scarf.

Well I'd say it is ok, but I didn't get masses of wheel time. Trackdays cost more, but you get a lot of driving in.

But I don't get very much tail sliding time thats actually allowed!

I think being taught to get the back out by Mr Harris will be awesome fun!

I'll go on my own then! (thats the middle finger!)
