I'm not fussed about a clean lap, I'm going there for a laugh and want to play!

Half and half is nice.

There is a difference between enough cars to have a play and having ten cars piling into the same braking zone.

Can you say if you've increased numbers this year, at times last year that track was almost completely empty!​

​

So based on feedback from last year, we cautiously increased numbers this year as follows:

​

​	Circuit Limit​	CSF 23​	CSF 24​
International GP (Morning)​	45​	45​	65​
Coastal (Afternoon)​	36​	39​	55​

​

The circuit limits are the maximum number of cars allowed on track at any one time.

The increase this year is approximately 40-45%. But the response has been amazing and its sold out already.


Maybe we could go a bit further and open up some more slots, but I don't want people finding it's too busy.


I've been told many public track days use the rule of max cars signed = 2.5 x track limit, which to me is insane. That would be 112 on morning and 90 on afternoon


I'd like to hear your feedback really. We obviously want as many people to get a chance to get on track. Also not being able to go on track will mean not being able to justify attending the event at all for some. But we do want it to be a quality private club track day and not TRAX, so capping the numbers at the correct level is important.

Crickey. Rock and hard place Nik here I think.

The demand is always going to be up this year as people have known about the event longer and of course I am attending so thats an obvious attraction right there.

I would be tempted to increase the numbers ever so slightly more - perhaps by 5? I still think you will sell them out mind.

What is the return % like at the minute? We are still 4mo out though I guess. Historically has the return % increased the closer you get to the date?

 

[JB21]

More the merrier for me, as long as drivers are courteous I dont have a problem with a busy track.

 

[J-J]

The way I look at it is there's no need to rush into increasing it.

Last year was my first CSF and I went out as passanger in a few cars and was surprised how quiet the track was, so I've bought a car and track time for this year to return and enjoy it myself.

The event was busy last year and likely busier this year regardless, so there's always chance to increases again next year given how successful it looks like it'll be. If it gets increased and people are stuck waiting I can see it being a bit of a deterrent for some to attend.

 

[JamesBryan]

How many of the 120 total slots are full day bookings?

If there are quite a high number of full days bookings, then I would potentially look at increasing the sessioned slots by a few.

The full day guys will likely be taking more breaks due to having the whole day to play with, so essentially they're likely to be on track less than someone who is just doing a morning or afternoon slot and trying to maximise their track time.

I would use 24 as a trial for the increased numbers and if the response is positive increase again for 2025?

I'm sure you could increase both by 5 slots if there is demand here without changing anything much.

@Daniel @Touring_Rob both struggled with having two cars going into a corner, let alone ten

WIll you make it this year? They had lots of long grass for you to play in.

It's the sea beyond the long grass that worries me

 

[Touring_Rob]

Are you going to come?

 

[SCJM21]

It's the sea beyond the long grass that worries me

It's the coastline of south-eastern Ireland that worries me.

 

[Advikaz]

Haven't read through the thread, but have all of the tracktime slots gone?

 

[G. Brzęczyszczykiewicz]

I can't afford it this year, I need to find a proper job first. Currently I'm teaching English online but it's far from regular income at the moment, driving to Wales would probably bankrupt me

Do you want me to have a word with the mods for you mate? You know, pull a few stings etc

 

[Louis]

Stings?

 

[leedsboy]

Stings?

 

[SCJM21]

I'd have a word tbh, every little thing @Nik does is magic.

 

[dann2707]

Will pulls off Sting pass it on

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

I'm honestly unsure why this gif came up when I searched for "Sting". None of the others were half as amusing as this masked gentlemen committing child abuse. Good day.
