E30Zone Trackday & Meet - Oulton Park Nov 13th

[billgatese30]

Hi Guys and Girls

With the most kind offer, Steve from Trackaction-Online (our resisdent trackday organiser/trader) has offered to run a one of his trackdays at Oulton Park as a Zone trackday and meet & catchup too.

Oulton Park is one of the countries best racing circuits (in my humble opinion of course) and how much better is it going to be with a gaggle of E30's doing what they do best.

Here is what Steve is proposing...

....................................................
Oulton Park Nov 13th

Open pitlane trackday

Restricted numbers to ensure plenty of tracktime

List price £160, club rate £125

Extra driver £35, passengers £10

Garages can be pre-booked for £20, if ten or more members sign up we'll throw a couple of garages in FOC

Free tuition available from ARDS instructors

This is a club run day, friendly atmosphere etc so well worth coming along to.
..................................................

Now although there will be other machinery there if you all get signed up now we can make up a serious amount of the cars there on the day.

For anyone who is not in the know, £125 is CHEAP for any trackday on such a high profile circuit, let alone an open pitlane day....none of those nasty 20 minute sessions here.


If you have any questions/inquiries then please post up here and Steve will get back to you.



Come on guys, help support the Zone and the Traders who pay to keep this place alive and kicking and experience the bargain of the year to boot.

Even if you don't want to take your car around the track, you can turn up and make it into a good meet too as there is plenty of room in the paddock behind the pits and you can always pay to be a passenger (I've always found that people are more than happy to accept strangers as passengers on trackdays)

Lets turn this into a good day


Hope to see you there

[billgatese30]

Oulton Park Circuit
Little Budworth,
Tarporley,
Cheshire CW6 9BW

[320Touring]

that looks almost doable-will need to consult money and time.. what time of start is it?

[billgatese30]

Not sure of the details but most trackdays are

8 AM signing on
9 AM briefing for a 9:15 or so start to the tracktime

Steve will be along later to firm those up though, that is just the normal of order of things on teh days I have been on in the past.

[gareth]

ooh, it's tempting
260 miles from me though, that's more than halfway to the ring from here....

[StevePH]

Hi Fellas

Just want to say thanks to Chris and the E30 organisers for joining in with us on this event, it should be a great day out!

The timetable will be signing on from 7.30-8.30, drivers briefing at 8.30 then sighting laps around 9am and then it's open pit! We'll take one hour for lunch and then run until light stops play - probably around 4.30 depending on the conditions on the day.

Oulton is a great circuit, along with Cadwell it has to be the best in the country so it's worth the trip wherever you are from!

Any other questions or if you are interested in coming along please shout up and I'll PM you the booking details and discount codes

Cheers

I'll be there (through another forum).

Oulton is a fantastic circuit and is great for e30's.

[320Touring]

Is this a full circuit or Indy?

[Jhonno]

Where in the country is Oulton? Noise limit?

[Chris-W]

Where in the country is Oulton? Noise limit?

Mid Cheshire (M6 J18ish and then 20 minutes), 105db.

[StevePH]

Cheers Chris, spot on

Is this a full circuit or Indy?

I assume you mean Fosters, not Indy , it's the full international circuit

[billgatese30]

Cheers Chris, spot on

I assume you mean Fosters, not Indy , it's the full international circuit

Is that the one with the banked hairpin or the slightly shorter version with the flat hairpin? (I think its the banked corner)

[Chris-W]

That's my fault - I asked on the phone earlier if it was full or indy. Indy just seems to be a byword for part-circuit to me.

[StevePH]

No worries, Indy is normally Brands, at Oulton we have got Fosters (short, square), Island (flat hairpin, used for some racing including BTCC but rarely for trackdays) and International with the fast lefthander (Island bend) leading towards Shell - the banked hairpin; that's the one we'll be on.

Oulton is great day out.. and being november means there is every chance it is wet.. and a wet oulton is a lot of fun!! I'm on the BMW day the week before.. as you do

[furbster]

I'll be there! Did Oulton with Steve and the guys last year! Mucho fun!!!

[StevePH]

OK chaps, less than three weeks to go and we are down to the last dozen or so spaces. If you want to come along please get it booked soon, when it’s full - IT’S FULL!

I was hoping to go as a spectator but it looks like I won't be able to get the day off work

[furbster]

Excellent! Nice one!

What have you been doing to her?

Bill - That's a real shame, Oulton is a cracking circuit and I'm sure either Stoney or I would have taken you out for a lap or two!

[billgatese30]

It would have been great to book a place, but needing brake pads and tires doesn't mix well with being skint

[stoneyV6]

I have been busy dropping a new motor in,, with help on the wiring side from Danthe , cheers Dan your a star.

i was going to keep it quiet but as were all E30 nuts here it is.


and it sounds like this,, i am looking forward to oulton.

[furbster]

I shall have to have a closer inspection as it something if been toying with the idea of for some time!

[StevePH]

Unless it breaks I doubt he'll get off track all day

[stoneyV6]

You might be right Steve

Ye come over and take a look furbster and if there is anything you want to know about the build ask away,, your welcome to a few passenger laps if you want.

[StevePH]

You'll be trying to blag a passenger ride when you see whats coming Steve

[stoneyV6]

MK2 escort RS, certainly would be looking to blag a ride in one of those.
