Unless I'm being blind we don't have a thread for this yet.

Just booked to go for the first time in years and years. And thought "let's just book some track time too, why the hell not?"

So who's going and are you doing tracktime?

1. Djw John - Saturday only, session 1, not camping.

2, Djw Dave, Saturday only, session 1, not camping (probably on RenaultUK stand)

No-one? £20 entry and £75 for 2 hour open pit lane seems good to me.

@Djw John when is it? I went last year and tempted to track the 200 again this year as the etiquette was actually good!

7th of July, Donnington again. I see it's limited to 30 at a time.

Was it really? Genuinely surprised me! Was really in 2 minds as I've witnessed quite a few FCS track sessions from the sidelines and it's looked awful, but for £75 for Donny OPL it's hard to ignore.

I'll have a look and see if I'm working then.

Yeah I only did the 15 min sessions last year, but no one was being an aggressive bell end. I'd do the 2hrs straight if I didn't need fuel. Lol

In a 200 you'll be lucky to do the 15 min without filling up

It was incompetence more than aggressiveness that I saw. Like the guy who got black flagged so stopped on the main straight, chucked the hazards on and walked over to discuss it with the stewards!!

Lol! It ain't that heavy on fuel!!

Flol! That's brilliant!! What an utter bell end!

Craigs supercharged one was!

Was awful! He'd parked next to us on the stand and put on his driving gloves, driving shoes and all that to then go out and nearly get killed.

But I see they do briefings now and I don't think they did back then.

@Sunglasses_Ron
Will I be OK bringing the Megane on the CS stand as we will be bringing a Megane and a Clio 200?


I've now moved onto a Megane with age, but we still have a Clio in the family
Plus I've just noticed as of this Wednesday I've been on CS for 13 years

Yeah I've had a malware alert from the PFC / French Car Show site too. I'll let Mark Dow know.

 

[ixell]

I took my Megane R26 last year and did the track but was scared of pushing it too much but still enjoy the car on track,
this year im bring the trusty Clio 172 cup happy days

 

[Don]

I was toying with the idea of attending this...but can't select Cliosport.net in the parking (only public is allowed) is this the case?
