Just a quick note to say that we are running a couple of Trackaction-Online club trackdays during March and would welcome any old or new faces along.

On the 3rd we are at Snetterton on the full 300 circuit and then over to Cadwell Park on the 23rd.

Both days are open pitlane, limited numbers to ensure there is plenty of space on track and free tuition will be available.

Cost for each event is just £119 or if you'd like to book both you can get the pair for £199; less than a hundred quid a day is hard to beat!

It's been a little while since I posted any of our trackdays up on here so I hope it's still OK to mention them (apologies to mods if it's any problem!), those of you that have been to our events before will know that we aim to have no queueing to get on circuit and to have a friendly club atmosphere both on and off track. Novices are very welcome, we generally have a wide mix of experience on our days which seems to work very well.

Anyhoo, if you'd like to book just CLICK HERE or if you have any questions please shout up.

Thanks

You'll need a helmet although they can be hired on the day, arms and legs covered, that's about it.

We don't check the cars over, it's for you to ensure it's up to the task.

Are you doing any days at Bedford or silverstone later in the year?

Nope, Bedford is too tight on noise for a lot of our drivers and Silverstone costs £30k + vat to hire the GP circuit and is a bit crap on the smaller layouts.

How many cars is 30k?
Makes you wonder how race meetings actually make money.

Looks like we'll be at Oulton at the end of the year, no plans to run at Donny.

Would be good to get a few of you out at Snett and/or Cadwell though, got to be said that Caddy is a match for Oulton and Snett for Silverstone”¦”¦..

I'd rather have a day on the smaller circuits than the GP

I'd rather go to other circuits but if I was trackdaying at Silverstone I'd rather be on the GP.

Silverstone is not really suited for low power to weight cars, more for GTR's

Oulton and Cadwel and Brands is way more rewarding.

My opinion of course.

I think every regular user of the zone should partake in one of these trackdays for the 10th anniversery of the zone.

It should put the "318is v 325 " thingy to bed

We had a great day out on Tuesday, bit of a quiet response from on here but there's time to fix that before the next one!

I had great fun in my little Peugeot, getting some practice in for it's first race in a few weeks.

We had a wet morning

followed by dry afternoon

seemed to work pretty well and aside from a few red flags we had no queueing all day which was how we all like it!

Next up is Cadwell in three weeks, only £119 for full open pit lane and free instruction so shout up if you'd like to join us!
