Porsche (definately) only track day
Discussion
We are hosting a Porsche only track day at Castle Combe on Monday 21st June. It`s after the British GT that weekend so you could make a weekend of it.
The cost is £225 inc Vat for a car and up to two people. This also includes a buffet lunch as well as instruction if required.
It also includes passenger laps throughout the day in a series of Porsche race cars driven by their respective racing drivers.
To see more go onto the 911virgin.com website and click on "trackdays"
We`re not looking to take a profit out of it. Numbers will be very limited and we are particularly happy to see trackday virgins. We`ll hold your hand and show you the ropes.
Should be a good day and we will be there over the whole weekend. Castle Combe is one of the best spectator circuits in the UK with a fantastic atmosphere. That weekend is their star meet of the year.

The day will start in sessions. 12 people on track at a time. Approx 1 session per hour. What generally happens is that after lunch, or even before lunch it goes into a queueing system with the marshalls maintaining the 12 cars on the track. From previous years experience I doubt very much if you will come away wanting.
There are a lot of people who do a couple of sessions then decide to sit things out for a while. The benefit of being fairly informal is that you can "fill" those empty spaces. You also do not "force" people out onto the track in "their" session.
I would expect 45 to 50 people on the day.
In terms of £225 being too dear then you probably need to look for some airfield days or 120 people plus days !! There are folk who would pay that just for the passenger laps !!!
If you did want to lose the lunch I`ll knock you a tenner off the bill and you can sit outside on your own alone in the car park !!
It promises to be a fun day, if it hasn`t got a Porsche badge on the bonnet then it doesn`t get on track - regardless of numbers booked, so it will be a day without 300bhp / 400kg road going racecars.
As for additional race cars and drivers we are currently well sorted at the moment but if you do know someone with the driving ability to enhance the day please feel free to put them in touch with us.
