RSOC organised any car trackday, weird!

I did a day at Llandow last Saturday, was supposed to be open pit, but only was in the afternoon, no major problem.

The two main braking points are quite bumpy which makes the entry to the fast chicane quite interesting, you really get thrown around. Quite a short track too.

The guy gives a long drawn out, and not totally necessary briefing with too much emphasis on trying to be funny! Nice guy though, don't get me wrong.

Good laugh, and a safe track for beginners. I wouldn't make the long trip to Wales to do it again. Rather pay the extra for a major track.

Am I sounding negative, well yes, so sorry!

good fun track
easy to learn not so easy to master.
i personally have organised and run at 5 trackdays there now an dont find it particulary bumpy.

my only worry is with 40 odd cars the queuing might get a little tiresome.

causing havoc and mayhem wherever i go

Anyone definitely going?

My car shuold be ready (in some state at least) and it seems a bargain

You either weren't going fast enough or have comfort suspension. :wink: It causes cars with stiffened suspension to sporadically lock up under braking despite constant pedal pressure. Ok for a laugh, not the best for proper driving. Still a good laugh, once again, don't get me wrong, any circuit driving is great fun.

Don't be put off by my comments, I'm sure you won't!

Unfortunatley due to a contractual problem the track day at llandow on sat 17th june has been cancelled. A lot of time has gone into resolving the issues that has presented themselves to us but could not be resolved with such short time left before the day.

I will contact the people who will be due refunds by the end of this week.
appologies from the south wales r.s.o.c
cheers
Steve :(

Bugger, but cheers for letting us know Spikey.

There is a classic action day at Combe on the same day if anyone is interested.
