Firslty, this event is not associated with Pistonheads in anyway.

I've got 4 places left for my "private" track evening on April 21st (Wed) 6-8pm. I originally booked it for friends, however there have been a few drop outs.

The cost is £100, payable now. The reason for the slight increase compared to a usual 2 hour session is I'm limiting the session to just 20 cars, compared to the usual 40-50 cars. On the plus side there will be lots of room on track. Please note about half those will attending will be few first timers, so I'd prefer to maintain a relexed atmosphere where those newbies don't feel rushed or intimidated. Everyone on here is more than welcome, just bare in mind a little patience may be required at the start. Nutters need not apply, this is not a hot hatch or speed sunday event! Bad driving won't be tolerated.

Spectators are free, as are passengers, but helmet is required.

PM me if interested or with any questions. You can also email graeme.watson@gmail.com

Yeah no problem.

Arguably, you'd get more from the tuition if you were familiar with the circuit. This evening would be perfect due to only 20 people attending compared to 45-50. You can drive at your own pace.

Hi. I might be interested, not had my car on track yet, but won't know whether I could make it for another week. Will give you a message when I know though and see whether there is still a space going smile

Its actually an Evo 9. petty, i know! but the bigger the number the faster it is lol. but seriously i take it pretty slowly since i had a small 'off' a few trackdays ago. will be good not to have any track nuts driving 3cm from my rear. Was at the SIDC trackday on sat and it was excellent, lots of courteous drivers.

Another drop out, down to 15 cars now. This could be an expensive track day for me at this rate smile

I'd appreciate if anyone can link this on the Lotus Elise, SIDC forums for me. Not a memeber on either of these.
