We will head off to Llandow Circuit after breakfast on the Saturday.
Although one of the smaller circuits in the UK, Llandow offers a unique opportunity for Novice and Intermediate users to enjoy some technically challenging corners in a controlled environment.
We have the capacity to accommodate 30 cars, although initially only 10 cars will be allowed on track at any one time. Some controlled sighting laps to start, allow the novice and more experienced user to gain confidence before being allowed to explore their own abilities with an open pit lane. This will allow everyone a good deal of time on track.
A full day on track will cost £130 per car – which by UK trackday costs is very competitive.
Even if you don’t fancy taking your own car on track, you are more than welcome to join us and will probably have the opportunity to take in some laps as a passenger with a variety of drivers and vehicles
The Court Colman Manor is our base for the weekend, featuring exotic themed bedrooms, award winning restaurants and a stunning location.
For further information or to sign up for this event please PM me for payment details. You will be asked to pay up immediately even though the event is in May.
Please note this event is limited to 30 cars, currently we have 18 signed up. If you are interested, only payment reserves your place on track.
Where are we staying?
http://www.court-colman-manor.com/
We have reserved the WHOLE hotel. It is first come first served for the rooms - so if you want a cheaper room get in there early. When you call up - quote "Z group" and book the room you want. They have 29 rooms - 2 Singles, 2 Twins, 10 Doubles, 3 Triples, 2 Quads and 10 Themed Rooms - the rates are pretty much the same as stated on the web site - our discount being negated by a recent price rise.
If you are coming for the whole weekend you will need to book Friday and Saturday night. If we fill this hotel then I have the name of a couple of others PM me and I will attempt to negotiate a better rate.
On the Sunday there will be a cruise back to a centralised point near Cheltenham where you will have the opportunity to have lunch.
Where is the track?
The track is situated between Cardiff and Bridgeend - and should take about 20 minutes to drive to on Saturday morning. It may be a short circuit (just under a mile) - but it did host the Evo Magazine M shootout - and their flexibility will allow us to use the track for a group photoshoot.
What are we eating?
The Hotel will prepare an Indian banquet for us on the Saturday evening, with a plated starter and then a help yourself main course - the latter will include Curries, veg side dishes, rice, naans and poppadoms. A quick scan of their website will indicate how highly rated the place is, so my guess is the food will be top drawer. Drinks will be charged to individual rooms / tabs.
How much?
A full day on track will cost £130 per car - which by UK trackday costs is very competitive. That price includes additional drivers and passengers. The evening meal is £25 per person and includes starter - main course - and once negotiated coffee!
What to do next?
