Ditto but I'd have the worst time ever for fear of crashing! I'd like some track time beforehand... lets do both! :D

I'm also up for both :)

As for the 'Ring...its scary as hell at first, but you soon relax (lots) when you realise it's not that bad. As long as you don't rag the **** off it trying to be the next Schumacher, it's totally fine. Especially if you stick to dry laps...but I would agree a UK track day has a much larger margin for error - and if it's Bedford, I am not sure how you would crash unless you deliberately drive into the armco on the back straight...there is a crazy amount of run off
 
That's far too clean........get out and drive the thing............................................... :driving: :D :D
 
If its just 4 of us interested lets do a walshy day otherwise I'm up for a track day at brands or bedford but will probably come in an elise.
 
Its not cheating, its just a standard k series elise. Bit apprehensive about taking the z4 on a track because unless its a really fast track like the ring I think I might not like it as much. A walshy day is different know because you get to rest why each person takes their turn, you learn something, its easy on the car, you can passenger in other people's cars and no insurance or helmet is required.

Let Walshy loose in the Alpina?? I've seen what he can do in an Elise. :P

Would be quite cool actually to get a 4-zeds day with Walshy. Took the Elise to NW in December many moons ago - was perfect weather with a nice thick layer of frost first thing, low-grip-tastic. :thumbsup:
 
sounds like a its going to be a day in Bedford then....I share the large run-off views of everyone else though...nice to see alot of confidence lol
It looks like costing is around 130 for a full day with open pits. I'll call them on monday to look at instructor costs etc
So far interested........

Hi, will add you to the list...two more votes for donny then.....not sure about anyone else but 400 smackers is alot for me despite winning a tenner at the casino lastnight......wohooooooo......bedford is looking at 130 for the full day and by the looks of things they have some nice run-off for people like me who like to use the whole track :driving:
 
Just to add I said Bedford due to location and safety but would be open to Donnington / Silverstone / Brands / Goodwood etc
 
I'm happy with Bedford Silverstone what ever is easy to get to and not toooooo expensive :lol: I think Santa pod also do track days where you bring your own car, I htink they had a BMW day there not so long ago...might be worth looking into???

Could we not go a bit sooner?

Yeah I completely agree, July/Aug 09 is still quite a while away! I don't think its feasible at all this year with the lovely UK weather but perhaps early Spring, March/April time?

If we couldn't get enough numbers through this forum perhaps we could invite other owners clubs/forums e.g. RX-8 &/or TT owners clubs...
 
Put me down for a defo. I don't really mind where it is, as I'd travel to Brands,Goodwood, Donington. Silverstone or Bedford are minutes away from me. Am also up for something earlier than Jul/Aug.

Marcus.
