I'll probably do a few laps and realise I was worried for nothing.

You'll be fine, once you feel the grip after a few laps, dont need to be hitting the limiter all the way round, need good tyres pads fluid and brake ducting then you'll have a great day,its to far for me or I'd be going

 

[loggyboy]

Ayyy
I used to do it back when it was cool I'll have you know

I made a similar exit stage right....

 

[lee M4RSH]

It’s not actually that tight.
Just not as wide as most.

Craners in the wet, much scarier than any parts of cadwell imo.

 

[gez 172]

That’s it - Give Dave confidence with all these crash pics….

 

[RSRowe]

I did Cadwell as my first trackday. Didn’t die.

 

[helpimonfire]

I did Cadwell one January with Opentrack, the track was frozen in places but nobody died. You'll be fine Dave, just follow me around and you'll be safe.
EDIT - I knew I had the photo somewhere. Hardest part was staying upright in the paddock!

 

[Jonnio]

@leeds2592 and I had a right laugh in my mx5 at Cadwell

Completely bog standard, roof down the whole time. Span out at one point which was ace

That barrier on the left is the one imprinted in my rear quarter.

Souvenirs

 

[Brigsy]

I have also only done Cadwell 2 times in November on semi slicks, and it was dry but slippy as fcuk due to conditions. Did not die.

Looking forward to a summer one, should be peak weather. The track is mega, technical yet fast.

Might take 2 cars if its split am/pm again.

Doesn’t look that bad on video but my life genuinely flashed before my eyes when that barrier came flying towards us

 

[Nickw88]

I’ve watched a few videos online over the last few days, and fully expect to bin it at some point. Definitely investing in track day insurance again

Geee oer you'll be absolutely fine nothing bad ever happens to you

You boys need chill out a bit.

Honestly the worst thing you can do at Cadwell is lift off at the wrong time.

Or not lifting off at the right time

High power RWD you'd want a little lift and back on at the top of the mountain.

Seen a few caught out over the years.

 

[Touring_Rob]

I am a bit nervous tbh the VX has lift off oversteer! Which would be ok in a fwd, but in a rwd its a but bum hole puckering because if your on power and sliding and have to lift off it all gets a LOT more interesting.

But im still doing it because im not a fanny and will buy insurance.

 

[Touring_Rob]

*you're ffs FLOB

Given how quickly people have jumped on the chance to have some driver coaching at the CS invitationals..

Would people contribute to the clubs charity chosen charity in return for say - a 15 to 20 min session of tuition?

Is shouting included in the price?

Absolutely.

It's the 25th anniversary of the club, some of us are old and deaf now

I for one would happily pay for that

And that was just his missus.

While Nick was at work.

No wonder the cat always looks so pissed off.

I don’t have a job, so the jokes on you

 

[Ricardos]

Uncharacteristically organised, hotel reserved for 2 nights

I've done the same. Kenwick park is nice and theres a spa

 

[RSRowe]

If any of yous wanting to share accommodation. Kenwick Woods Lodges in Louth is decent. Right down the road from Cadwell too.
We’ve been before with the trailers no bother.

 

[Clart]

Those lodges are amazing. Cheap too if you have a few people.

 

[Adey.]

Think there's a fair few booked there

 

[RSRowe]

Probably should have read all the other replies before responding. Whoops

 

[Cub.]

As per last year, we do encourage people to camp.

It’s as much a social festival as a trackday, and we’ve gone to some lengths to secure the facilities and space to allow camping.

Should be mandatory

 

[Filters]

I really don't understand why people chip off to hotels. They miss out on so much by doing so.

It goes against the hard work the club puts in on these events too.

While we all laugh and joke in here, the staff go to a lot of effort to make this happen and front up a lot of cash to ensure we have a venue

 

[Adey.]

Camping for me unfortunately isn't something I can do, understand the view from the club though

 

[dann2707]

I mean at the end of the day it's totally up to that person if they wish to camp or not

I genuinely am surprised that people think it goes against the club by choosing to sleep somewhere comfy for a couple of nights.

There is absolutely nothing worse than waking up, grim as f**k at 5am after having slept badly all night then driving your car all day on track which takes significantly more concentration than your average pootle on the m1.

This will be my first proper weekend away sans baby in a long time so you can absolutely be assured I have done everything in my power to secure a hotel for 2 nights in absolute bliss individual differences and all that...

I fully appreciate that mate, some can't for personal reasons etc.

And you're welcome to matey, no one is stopping you at all. More so after your daddy duties

But I'm with @Cub. on this one as I fully appreciate how difficult it is for the club to organise all this for us after putting together the CS invitationals.

It's not easy, it takes a lot of time and planning. People not camping also means less weekend tickets sold, meaning less ££ for future CSF's. So the more it's supported by members the more we all benefit in future.

 

[DaveDreads]

Originally the camping was at a separate site, but the campfire piss ups became more of an event than CSF, so it was all combined to make it more of a festival atmosphere, hence the name.

I get that people want to be comfy and well rested on what is essentially a weekend holiday, but with less people camping it's in danger of going back to a single day event where everyone has to book a hotel for one or two nights.

I also think age has a lot to do with it, the clubs been around for a quarter of a century and we've all got older and less tolerant of discomfort.

 

[andybond]

ople not camping also means less weekend tickets sold

I stay in a hotel. I cant fit a tent in my car.
I also buy a weekend ticket and encourage everyone to do so

 

[MAXRUNDOWN]

I'm in two minds whether to camp solo or get a hotel/lodge for a few nights.. I kind of like the idea of getting the Mrs and kid to follow me down in her car with extra spares/tools etc rather than the chance of having a mechanical issue and being left stranded.

 

[YorkshireKyle]

I'll be camping this year

Mainly to avoid @dann2707's horrific farts after he has a curry hot enough to melt through steel beams

 

[Rskennedy]

Is it Saturday and Sunday or just the Saturday and people head off Sunday morning?

 

[DaveDreads]

Is it Saturday and Sunday or just the Saturday and people head off Sunday morning?

Just Saturday, Sunday is hangover and home day.
