I don't have a functioning Porsche at the moment, let's hope that changes by March!

[BertBert]

oh dear, that's 6 weeks tomorrow and I've still not got a functioning 911!

[BertBert]

Sadly, I have had to unbook as I won't have a functioning Porsche in time

[BertBert]

I did wonder whether your can sell your place or whether their terms prohibited it? Especially if they would only register the person who booked.

[BertBert]

That sounds good. I just got a credit back for my place so the next person in line could get the place.

I really enjoyed the driving last year. As a 911 nutcase over the years and a determined (but mediocre) racer it was only the second time on track in a 911! Loved the wet and drying conditions and felt I was just beginning to get some idea about driving a 911. Enough to realise just how much there is to learn!

[BertBert]

The way to really learn would be to go racing, but my car buying and running budget would fall woefully short

[BertBert]

It's a cost thing as it's well known that all Porsche owners are tightwads

Anyone else got a ticket going? Just missed out on the other two mentioned here!

as people go home/ or the older cars break down :-) you can normally pay to get on in the PM session.

last few years it's been dead after about 2pm because it's the coldest place on earth.

^spot on - there must be a reason why they hold one of the best track days of the year in what is virtually winter??

[BertBert]

Not sure why it would be unpopular?

Holding the RS day midweek might not be popular?

[BertBert]

I kept going until quite late in the day last year. From memory the day was dry-wet-dry and was great fun. Miss Bert and I were sharing and got quite a few laps in. Called it a day in the end as I was getting too lairy! I'd binned my race car there the year before and didn't want the same for my 911!

[BertBert]

Thanks for the offer Marcus, but I've had to cancel as neither 911 is on the road at the moment sadly

im assuming they will accept a gt3?

Only if it's an RS I imagine!

[BertBert]

Well have a great day tomorrow guys!

[BertBert]

Wot, no pics?

[BertBert]

Not known for its cheapness though if the costs of testing there are anything to go by!

Now that MSV have completed their take over of Donington (news release today) I'm sure they would be amenable to running an RS day there. Albeit on a midweek day during the summer. Noise can be an issue at Donington for newer Porsches but it can be driven round by short shifting out of the chicane.

[BertBert]

That's not too bad then!

Other TDOs have been expensive for Donny in recent years (especially BaT days) but MSV prices are usually reasonable e.g. their day at Donny on Fri 6th April is currently £199.
