[Laird 'o Croft]

Anyone else from here going?

[NorthernExposure]

yep...I've done the southern circuit before but never the GP circuit...should be fun :-)

[Laird 'o Croft]

Fun? - it'll be better than that, lol!
Have you got any more trackday money off vouchers, or have you used them all up now?

[NorthernExposure]

none left ! I'm still feeling lucky though...

Its the Bridge circuit Doc - we couldn't afford the £3k+vat extra for the Arena on top of the £25k we already paid.
..anyway, loads of TD folk are saying the trad GP layout is better than the Arena one.

Nick, do you guys know any good B&B's or Hotels near to Silverstone. I think the 3 of us will be looking to stay a bit closer the night before.

Nope, not really - it's well off my parish.
A few of us have all booked in at the Towcester Travelodge at £19 per room in the sale a good few months ago now - why not give them a try, it's the nearest place I could find.

Is anybody still watching this?

What was the White AC Schnitzer Z4 that they were doing passenger rides in? I did a couple of mad laps but forgot to see what was special about the car?
Can't find it on the nerd...

[Laird 'o Croft]

It was ACS' latest development car, fitted with all the trick bits - was it quick?

[Laird 'o Croft]

I was wondering what the "tricks and bits" were...?
