ClioSport Festival 2024 *Save The Date*

[SharkyUK]

I can't drive for s**t so I'd be up for potentially writing off the x98 Cup Racer!

I'll also make the effort to bring my 'tog gear along this year in case folks would like a blurred polaroid or two of their on-track antics.

I confirmed my accommodation yesterday, too - so all ready to rock and roll.

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Yeah my accommodation is confirmed, not camping, but in theory within walking distance...although that remains to be seen/proven!

 

[Flob]

@Sunglasses_Ron do you have a very rough idea for tickets going live? Not important when I just don't want to miss them

Stop f**king nagging you plum

 

[Flob]

Petrified I'm going to log in one day and all the track sessions will be gone and my GC membership will be revoked.

Thank you Nik, gent as always.

Noob question ; I don't own a helmet but am thinking about getting some track time. Will there be sufficient helmets to rent?

INB4 obvious joke about Rich wanting to get his hands on strangers' helmets.

Yes, they rent them for about £10 on the day.

Excellent.

I assume someone will also be available to tow me back to Norfolk when my engine goes pop?

Friday 26th mate.

4pm.

 

[Oggy997]

Can I buy all of the tickets and resell then at a premium?
My benefits are struggling to cover my outgoings

I guess you could just be a normal person for 2mins and buy a singular ticket then come for a good weekend in Wales.

I had spares with me this year

As long as I don't have to be a normal person in Wales

 

[Clio_fool]

Nobody's normal in Wales.

 

[Racky]

Daniel will be there in his RR with trailer, and asking 1k to tow you home. But on the way home he brokes down, and you 2 have the best time on the hard shoulder 💕

 

[Oggy997]

So you're saying he's taking the RR?

 

[Racky]

So you're saying he's taking the RR?

Well, his boss took the keys from the Ranger, and I didn't see an update on that 🤔

LOL

 

[Myfanwyi]

Can confirm.

Some slightly bad news I've been looking in to the cost of allowing folk to drive one of our race cars... the insurance is astronomical to the point that we'd have to either...

A. Rely on backing from one of our sponsors to make it viable.
or B. Pass costs on to those wanting to drive which would increase costs to the point that folk would be looking at £250 for 15 mins in the car. 🤮😅

Neither situation works tbf so after a brief chat with @Sunglasses_Ron it's just not feasible.

That said, if I could make it so that we had 1 race car available for hot laps and a little something something with close to 500BHP that is an absolute track weapon (believe me, it even scares the sh*t out of me) would folk be good with that?

 

[Oggy997]

No, underwrite the car yourself and stop being selfish.
Alternatively, ask Ryan Havanna

In all fairness, you'll be flat out all day again no doubt raising money for charity on the passenger laps and giving people a proper experience of the car as it should be driven. So might not be a bad thing although it would have been nice to have a go in it.

Appreciate that mate, not one to let folks down and the last thing I want is costs getting silly for forum members.

I think we'll have to stick to last years plan but with the added bonus of a monster machine for the extra bonus factor 👍

 

[Clio_fool]

I'm up for riding the monster again Andy 👌.





Oh s**t, wrong chat. 🤭
