Rockingham Resurrected! Mission Motorsport Track Day
Discussion
This post coming at you with permission from PH Headshed. Thanks team!
On Thursday 17th and Friday 18th of October Mission Motorsport is hosting two back-to-back charity track days at Rockingham Motor Speedway.This will be the very last opportunity to get on track there.
Despite the venue closing for business last year, the owner has very kindly donated a small number of days for us to deploy as fundraisers for Mission Motorsport. Other than the cost of providing marshals and safety team the entirety of funds raised goes to us at the charity. Want to know what we do with it? Go to www.missionmotorsport.org and find out.
The event has just gone live and is around 50% sold out already. It is limited to 70 cars on each day. Priced individually on the Thurs or Fri, plus a double day option, it offers great value at a circuit that one simply can’t book any more and will cease to exist as of Oct 31st when it is re-tasked as a storage facility.
Primarily a fundraiser for the charity, the days will be an open pit, full international circuit, “loud” 118dB day. We're capping numbers to make it that extra bit special and by joining us you're helping Mission Motorsport to do more, for more. This wouldn’t be possible without the huge generosity of the Rockingham Hub owner Stuart Wright, to whom we are enormously grateful.
To book please follow the following link – this is the only way to join. We'd love some of the PH community to join us.

Will it be classed as open pit?
Are the garages available and have power?
What version of the circuit will it be?
Also is a Radical welcome?
Thanks,
Hi Jay. Yes it's open pit. All garages booked up already sadly for both days.Are the garages available and have power?
What version of the circuit will it be?
Also is a Radical welcome?
Thanks,
It's the longest layout, the International.
And Radical is very welcome!

Is this something that a local can turn up and just watch for a small donation to the cause? Nothing track worthy in my garage but be good to see the track in use for one last time and esp at that noise level.
That's a good question...!There is an insurance issue (isn't there always?) for non participating attendees. Will look into it. A donation may fix it, wait out!

Please could organisers confirm the 118dB static noise limit mentioned in the article?
Booking confirmation has come through suggesting 102dB drive by. Which is it?
Work on 118dB static and all will be well! We've issued the limit, the main working rule we've been given is "No F1, nothing unsilenced"!Booking confirmation has come through suggesting 102dB drive by. Which is it?

Hi Ben,
Please can you confirm who's running the trackday as I need this to book my trackday insurance.
I heard a rumour it was Destination Nurburgring (Ringweekends Ltd)?
Rumour has it correct! Darren at DN is the TDO for the day(s) - his numbers etc available on his site. He's a long standing supporter and volunteer of us at MM, has just had our blokes out with him at the Ring this week, is on the Race of Remembrance organising committee and we owe him a massive debt. Top top man.Please can you confirm who's running the trackday as I need this to book my trackday insurance.

What's the plan b if it's a complete wash-out ?
My joining instruction suggest a link was available but no luck on my ipad
Plan B is that there really isn't a Plan B! As it's fundamentally a fundraiser there's no fall back position as the venue closes a couple of weeks after. But... skin is waterproof, if it aint raining it aint training, and we'll be running unless someone else pulls the plug on our behalf!My joining instruction suggest a link was available but no luck on my ipad

Woohoo, I've booked on.
Will be in a Caterham, so not ideal for such a fast circuit, but will try my hardest to catch up in the corners - and I'll keep out of the way of the fast boys on the banking.
We were just saying in the weekend at Brands races its a shame this place doesn't exist any more as I'd never been there, what a bonus to read about this, thanks for letitng me know PH.

Hi Ben. Is there any chance that drivers would be allowed to arrive around midday and have a one to one safety briefing instead of in the morning with the group? (I'm travelling a distance and can't rearrange my morning). And is it open pitlane, or would it mean a late arrival means you only get a limited no. of sessions?
Howdy. Can't see any drama with late arrival. Darren from DN can do a quick and dirty single driver brief on arrival I'm sure.And... once there you can go for it. All open pit, no sessions.
Morning all - it's Rockingham Resurrected week at last, hooray!
As per Darren's post above, briefs going out to all those booked on very shortly.
We have a tiny number of spots left for Friday 18th, a couple more for Thursday 17th, but all coming together really nicely.
As it's primarily a fundraiser for the charity by attending you're really helping us out, for which we're enormously grateful.
If you're wavering then get amongst it asap, won't be another chance!
Weather looking gleaming for both days too - hoorah!

Hi, like stitches asked, I am also a local with a very long connection with Rockingham having helped to build the place and was also wondering if it would be ok to spectate and would happily make a charitable donation in order to do so?
Hi Rob. I've checked... the word is yes, you can!You should state your business at the gate - park in the outer paddock behind the main grandstand and wander over via the tunnel.
Cheers!
Hi all.
For everyone who was with us at Rockingham... hi!
Have you seen this at Silverstone coming up? Would be great to see you there...
