Last time I was there, tuition cost extra as did helmet hire.

Its not just a disused airfield with a few cones put out, its been turned into a proper track and can be seen on the latest Toca Race driver on the PS2 (J Palmer driver training bit) although it has changed a little since the game.

.
This will obviously vary depending on which track day company you are dealing with.

I was working with Circuit days at Spa 2 weeks ago. They gave 20 mins free tuition and due to low numbers a good few extended this time without paying extra.
Additonal drivers and passengers are also free. Although you can't turn up with 100 mates obviously :D :D
Helmet hire was first come first served and £10.

You can pay when you like, to get the Northloop discount you really need to be a member of my forum, it is linked to the main northloop web site. It is free so no big issue there. Quote Northloop when you pay and you will get it for £140. The only issue regarding time is if you leave it too late the day might be full.

I have had it confirmed that 20 minutes of expert tuition is available for free. After that it's £20 per 20 minutes.

Any of you guys want your name adding to the list?

It's an open day. I run another site, my user name is a bit of a clue to which one :D We are closely linked to Circuit days and do some events with them. This is one of them. I reckon I will muddle up around 20-25 of the cars going. Out lot will vary from E30's / E36's - turbo'd Mk2 golfs, Subarus, Peugeot, Performance tuner with their E30 335i (if he pulls his finger out :wink: ) and a few other variants.

So you can do it in your mums 1.1 fiesta if you like. I did a couple of laps of Cadwell in my mums a month ago :D :D :D

Gary

Got the last bits this week, my floor back from the metal fabricators, these will be in over the weekend, then new acc pedal in and thats the car 100% done

Will just need to do a few testdays to sort the setup and add balast in

Bedford will just be a see if it stays together, with LOTS of spanner checks and not many laps I should think

Cant Wait!!
