Anybody up for a track day @ Croft circuit?

Jon TDI · 08-08-2005, 14:10

After having a little taster back in April this year, I want some more!

And now that I've got new suspension & brakes, I wanna see the difference they make on the track.

BookaTrack.com are organising a track day @ Croft circuit on September 17th. Not sure if you have to be registered on their site to book it, but I've been registered for quite a while now. Not exactly cheap @ £175, but that's for the whole day with 3 x 20 minute sessions every hour.

More info here:- http://www.bookatrack.com/-pB?549

Anybody else up for it?

spinndrift · 08-08-2005, 15:48

Fair enough. Only did one session last time & felt I could do better, but I was happy with taking it on the track for the first time with a (fairly) standard set up.

Upset me in what way?

Andy vRS · 08-08-2005, 16:16

It was a joke Jon; a bit of ribbing thats all.

bengie · 08-08-2005, 16:26

yes but not at that price sadly, bit steep for me at the moment

***ColinD*** · 08-08-2005, 16:34

It's a great shame we could not rally more for Llandow....next year

The trick is to share the track day between two of you, then it's less than a ton each, or take part in a series aks mr spindrift up there.

I've not been to Croft - what's it like?

It would have to be very good go justify the 4 hour drive and the inevitable overnight stay plus £175 for the day, IMHO.

Yeah, I realise that now.

Didn't know what you were getting at.

It does seem expensive & BaT have never been cheap even with their special offers!

On board lap from an Integra Type R. http://www.bookatrack.com/-pg?2801

Fortunately, I live about 20 mins away from the circuit so it's ideal for me.

Croft is an ace circuit. I did a track day there last month. All for the princely sum of £95..... Got about 7 or 8 sessions in for that aswell.

Dunno. It was a Ford RSOC event so assume it was organised via Croft circuit directly.

Jon TDI · 12-09-2005, 14:14

After much deliberation & robbing of banks (

), I've booked my place for this Saturday.

Everybody fancy watching me totally humilate myself!!

beeftech · 16-09-2005, 18:06
