Oulton Park July

[M5pilot]

Just booked a place at Oulton Park - 3rd of July I think, its a saturday.

Anyone else coming?

I have a choice of 2 cars:

1) E34 M5 3.6 with some superb suspension

2) Totally stock E30 M3 running on 15" BBS's

Can't decide which one to take!

not at that price !!! daylight robbery. I am going there in november for £79 and that is with easytrack. shop around and you can still get open pit lane full days at major uk circuits for £150 or less in the summer and £80-100 in the winter.

Hi Jonathan,

Can you go to one site and find all the track days or do you have to go to several? Would love to get over to the Uk sept / Oct / Nov time.

Hello All,

I`m going on 1st July. If the weather holds should be an awesome day as the slicks are likely to get very sticky.

Oh yes, taking the E30 M3 track car. Look for the stripy no 69. 69 is not a sexual position, its just so the marshals know the number wether its on its roof or wheels.

See you there,

Regards,

Dave

Hi Guys,

Track & Race Car magazine lists details of loads of venues and organises each month for the coming month.

Not sure if it covers everyone but it is useful and lists prices as well.

How many of you fellas going?

Oulton Park is local to me so I may pop along and try to cadge some passenger laps in an E30 M3, or a 318is if anyone has one.

[M5pilot]

I will be going with the guys at Bexley motorworks and a few other guys - about 5 of us.

I'll be in an E34 3.8 M5. There will be a 300bhp E30 M3, a couple of 2.5 M3's, One ceccoto and one E36 m3 3.2.

Looking forward to it! your welcome to a passenger ride in the M5.

[Motorhole]

Fantastic guys, thankyou! How much will it cost me as a passenger for the day? Is it usual £20ish?

Drop me an e-mail at editor@themotorhole.co.uk

Thanks again.

Just got back.

Took the 3.8 M5.

Nearly had a heart attack when the brake stopped working and i had to come back in. Changed th brake fluid (forgot to do this!!...) and all was fine again.

Oulton park is a fantastic circuit and the big M went round very very quickly.

The M5 is so so well balanced.

Made mince meat of quite a few TVR's on the straights and espeically round bends (TVR's dont do bends).

Will try and get some pics up soon.

This track is highly highly recommended!!

Pleasantly surprised by seeing Andrew Everett there too!

Andy, I heard you had a bit of a scary ride with Dave in his nutter E30 M3!

I went out with him aswell and I must admit it's quite an experience!

Oulton is a gem but probably the hardest circuit on brakes, we used 2 sets of pads in testing along last year!

[Motorhole]

Oulton Park is a fantastic track, I took an Elise round there last year. Very technical with plenty of fast bends
