Don't know if anyone is aware of this trackday...

MeatballTurbo · 19-07-2006, 19:27

A combined Saab and Skoda on Sko-forum trackday arranged by the Saab OC inviting Skoda owners along too.

I have mentioned in that Briskoda might be the best place to mention it as currently it is Saab OC, Skoda OC, and Sko-Forum. And the Skoda OC can be very slow on taking things up.

A few of the Skoda OC and Sko-Forum guys like myself already post over here, so if you are interested, signup over there and read the thread. might be interesting Seeing Fabia and Octavia 1 &2 vRSs taking on Saab C900, NG900, 9000, 9-5 and 9-3 turbos, aeros, viggens and Taladegas

Without resorting to register, can you cut and paste some details?

Skoda Owners have been invited by the Saab owners club to attend a track day at RallyDrive at their tarmac test circuit at Blyton just north of Gainsborough. The track is 1 1/2 miles east of Blyton on the B1205 (see http://www.rally-drive.com/ for a map).

The event is ideal for beginers and older cars as well as the latest models.

The track at Blyton has been booked for Sat 5th August, the cost for the day is £58.75, this is payable in full if you want to take part. For this you will get 2 1/2 hours track time in 1/2 sessions with a limit of 6 cars on the track at once. Action will start from 9:00am till approx 4:30-5:00pm.

All crews (driver and passengers) will need to wear a crash helmet and sign a disclaimer before venturing out on the track.

Please could you indicate if you are driving a competition car or a road car. It is envisaged to place all competition cars together in one group.

Cheque's should be made payable to the Saab Owners Club of Great Britain Ltd.
Also include the model of car and if for road or competition use

Thanks. Beat me to it. for those wanting to drive, it looks a very reasonable day. Will bea fair old trek over, but should be fun.

Just up the road from me

Could be tempted. However in a slow diesel, do you think I'd be allowed?

Quinten · 20-07-2006, 08:03

a bit too far up north for me

**TaviaRS** · 20-07-2006, 09:28

Don't know if mine would cope on track

MeatballTurbo · 20-07-2006, 19:59

I'll probably be going to spectate, and cheer on both sides, being a Skoda owner (ex club member) and Saab Owners Club member (but no Saab currently, but my last 2 900 turbos were FFing fast).

MeatballTurbo · 30-07-2006, 16:46

Right I'm definatley going. Come on guys, don't let the Skoda side down, you have the power, do you have the balls

Could always use you as the pace car when the flag is out

OK, this is the lineup so far, with some places left.
"Group 1
David Fielden..........Saab 96 two-stroke.
David Barrow...........Saab Sonett two-stroke.
Les Simpson.............Skoda.

Group 2
Richard Simpson......Saab 96 V4.
Ken Ireland.................Skoda Favorit 1.3
Stephen West............Skoda Rapid
David Hussell............Volvo PV 544

Group 3
Julian Davies.............Saab 99 EMS
Neil Davies................Mini.
Robin West................Skoda Fabia VRS.
Keith Harding.............Saab 900 ex Mobil challenge car. "

Shame most of the Saabs are the older ones, and none of the Aero era heros are going, but those old ones can fly.

Worth a picnic lunch and a spectate.
