CSF2023?

[HAP]

Anglesey circuit is only 20 minutes away from me! Luckily.

There's loads of great roads around here and plenty of places to camp/air bnb.

What month was this?

All months.

Petrol blues such a funny colour isn't it. One minute I'm drooling all over it the next it looks like your car has been written off 12 times

You have not helped me, not one bit.

If weather is anything like IOM there are glorious days to be had.

That must have been the same day they called summer here in Scotland.

To be fair Anglesey and right across the Llyn peninsula seems to have its own microclimate! It’s often beautiful there, but when it’s bad it’s horrid. I’ve had many a happy day in Abersoch. Beautiful part of the world.

Those pictures are from when I got it, It was 50 shades of petrol blue back then.

It's much better now!

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude about your car specifically - I mean when the sun hits one panel its like the colour completely changes, so here the wing looks like a different colour all together! Can't believe more people didn't tick that box.

What about santa pod 🤔

Cool place - bit meh after a few hours watching fwd things spinning wheels though. Great fun on a RWYB day but after a few passes your kind of done unless you have a car setup for it.

What about butlins?

You just don't want to drive far.

It's fine haha, the plastic panels (bumpers, wings) react differently to the paint so they look a bit sh**ty unless polished correctly.

I'm most likely not even coming mate

New born on the way

Is it a newborn if its not yet been birthed? Unless you're importing it from somewhere? Anyway, that's a great excuse to send your Mrs on a spa day to relax and for you to come to csf and do the same 👍. Don't let 60 secs of sex ruin your life mate 😂.

As good as Anglesey is....

Weather is w**k 364 days a year

Its 4958472724 miles from 99% of the world

I doubt we'd get a marquee/food n s**t there far out either?

Lets go? Should do a day there even if CSF is somewhere else.

Closer than Blyton then

@Nik Anglesey sounds great

There is a café and a food stand there, and the weather's alright in the summer.

But the rest I agree with!

Its is a long way but I would do it in a flash

We can have a Surrey convoy and see how many Prets we can go to on the way.

I’d be up for a club track day gathering somewhere. Don’t fancy driving to Anglesey smashing the car round and driving backZ. That would kill the poor thing

Plus think of all the fresh air running you'll be doing by then

Anglesey is near enough the same distance that Blyton is/was. within 30mins I recon. But absolutely would be up for doing a track day with you lot somewhere else too.

Have you get @Sir_Dave involved, wonder how the X5 would do round there.

Im not sure what other realistic options there are if the aim is driving + camping. Curborough is nice, it is cheap but it is little - could change the format to timed sprints rather than all out track day but I think it all starts getting a bit serious doing one car at a time sprints.

Nordschliefe?

 

[Robbie Corbett]

Nordschliefe?

Absolutely! Its on my bucket list. Would require me to collect lots of brownie points to get the form signed off but its doable. Before I go to the ring Id like to rethink cars too - mini would be a laugh there but I just can't see it making it there and back with me intact.

I appreciate the thought!
But the Mrs loves the CSF weekend as much as me if not more, she loves the camping and social side of it all.

 

[Robbie Corbett]

@Nik realistically (while we are all talking shite) is the plan to try and do something to do with a track as well as camping etc? Would it not be less stressful to do it through MOT just at a different circuit (one of the others he has connections at) or has the relationship with MOT gone downhill after Blyton?

I appreciate the thought!

What a result, mine would sadly not.

I have some very good memories of my time over at the ‘Ring and some not so good. I’d be happy to just go there and watch the others lapping tbh. Means I can drink jäger, lager and eat pizza all at the same time. 😁

Sounds brilliant

X5 would probably be faster in a straight line than most of the 197/200's to be fair
I've inherited the TiTty now anyways, so can show you all a thing or two about understeer lol.

The relationship with MOT is still great. We discussed the other circuits they have available to them and their view is that there isn't really anywhere else that would allow us to do everything we did at Blyton. Mallory is the closest possibility but that's been discussed above. Next option could be Castle Coombe but planning limits mean small numbers of cars on track and noise restrictions. MSV Circuits generally too expensive at weekend, Croft was also discussed but limited dates and no ability to run other activities.

The single biggest issue for us accessing most circuits is that getting hold of a summer(ish) weekend date is almost impossible with racing series, track day organisers and other big clients getting priority in booking them up. Even in the case of Blyton, we were only able to go there all these years by buying a whole day off a track day organiser (which also means paying their profit margin on top!). Once Javelin, MOT and the experience day people had been given first dibs, there was nothing left for them to sell to us directly.

But fear not, we will try to find something. Me and Kirsty are taking a bit of a step back from some of the organising we normally do for the foreseeable but Ron is on the case already, and we have plenty of help to draw from I'm sure.
