This is our 'National' trackday event and where it all started for us back in the '70s with the original Batmobile CSL's - today it's the modern E46 M3's that you are likely to see on track representing the CSL moniker - we do however have a group of guys from our first ever Silverstone trackday coming to this event with their beloved E9 CSL's and John Castle will be hosting a lunchtime seminar about these iconic motor cars and recalling the exploits of trackdays past from long before I was born - lol!
We also have for your delight some special machines from ACSchnitzer, Alpina and Hartge on display in the pit lane.
ACS are kindly letting us have use of one of their highly modified E92 M3's piloted for the day by their R&D driver Manni Woltgarten - hot laps are available FOC.
It's our 30th year of running BMW Car Club trackdays and that's why I'm pushing the boat out a bit - I have spent a lot of the clubs money on this one, please come if you can or help me fill some spaces.
Thanks for looking
Nick

Umm, as it was my first trackday then I didn't manage to get any photos...
Though I would like to thank Nick and Club, it was great fun, though the rain at the start of the day made the first session a lesson in 'gently gently'. The instruction was really useful and it was nice to see all the work I've done to old touring has been worth while as she didn't miss a beat all day.
Got a couple of mods before the next one (which will be in the New Year) such as matching rubber front and back on the 17" track rims (Parada 2's on the front were somewhat better than the ditch finders on the back!) and some bucket seats as comfort leather are about as supportive as a park bench!!!

Year - busted, that was me.
Great fun and before you ask it was not me that chose to put that on the roof. I bought the car originally for cheap transport for my pushbike! I like to think it makes it a bit different. I think some of my mates have a difterent idea! She's totally stock apart from uprated H&R suspension i got 2nd hand through the zone.
What were you in? I'm going to do more, just got to sort the tyres and seats out!

Was the dark blue 540? In which case you looked like you were having alot of fun! I think we were quite close for a few laps...
I assume the M3 is alot more fun though?
