So how much is track time?

About 30 quid a session normally, not sure if prices are released yet for this year.

 

[Bobby.]

Yeah I will be there for sure mate, probably with 2 of our clios.

Love the combe action days, always so much going on for the track sessions, lovely and busy on track, although the down side is monstrous queues.

 

[Bobby.]

Is it the same sort of format as trax, where they divide into three groups, beginner, intermediate and advanced?

Also when you say queues, is it first come first serve, or can you book in advance?

No groups of different levels, just a free for all.
Mind you no one takes much notice of those groups at trax either TBH

Its all booked in advance, but due to the number of crashes it normally descends into waits and queues and a bit of chaos, all good fun though

 

[Bobby.]

Lol sounds manic, i can't wait!

 

[DanEdser]

So are you coming with us bobby?

 

[Bobby.]

So are you coming with us bobby?

yes mate. where will we be meeting?

 

[TimR26]

I'm arranging the Cliosport stand, usually I apply for 30 spaces but if South East want to go as well I'll apply for more.

Also if you want track time it's cheaper booking as a group in advance.

 

[Matt W]

I'll be coming too

 

[DanEdser]

yes mate. where will we be meeting?

I'll think of a place

I'll start a thread once I've got the Cliosport stand confirmed then everyone can put their names down for a place on the stand and track time. If prices haven't increased it's about £25 per 15 minute session when booked in advance.

[Lawro]

In a 1.2 you might even manage to get in my way twice in one session if I'm in the turbo.

 

[McGherkin]

Or 3 times if you leave it at 2 bar.

you'll also have to get passed me

I don't plan on being "fast" :L

Nah, no matter what power I have with the amount of traffic on an action day I won't average better than mid 1:20s and you'll be doing about low 1:40s so 20 seconds a lap is most I will be able to take out of you and despite their claims of 15 mins a session it's normally more like 9 or 10.

 

[Bobby.]

You two will just have to not brake

 

[Lawrence-182]

Oops my bad so it is.

 

[DanEdser]

thats the plan!

I lapped a couple of 172's a couple of years ago.
