TGTT.com's Very Own Trackday - Sponsored by Tuning Developments!

[Starlet_Sam]

*** UPDATE***

OK people, I have some big exciting news about the track day. This track day is now in partnership with:

I have been talking to Nick Jones of Tuning Developments, and I can very happily announce that he has agreed to sponser the event and has very generously offered some FANTASTIC prizes to our members. You guys can look forward to seeing the demo car on the track showing off his own Tuning Developments products and trust me when I say that car is awesome! There will also be a chance to see the range of products Nick has to offer first hand as he will be bringing the quality goods he has developed witout craning your neck inside his engine bay!

***UPDATE OVER! ***

Hello there good people of TGTT.com, I am currently in the process of finding out prices for hiring a circuit just for us. Realistically we're talking around £100 but for a days track hire it should be worth it. Before I go too deeply into it all how many of you would be interested in this? I've not got a particular track in mind, I'm talking to a few, but they are all central so most people can reasonably get to them. Start a list if you wish.

OK, TRACK IS BOOKED FOR 21ST MARCH 2009 WITH A MAXIMUM OF 40 CARS. THE DAY IS PROVISIONALLY FULL PENDING CONFIRMATION FROM MEMBERS BY WAY OF PAYING THEIR DEPOSIT. I HAVE ADDED A RESERVE LIST BELOW WHICH IS STRICTLY FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

HERE IT IS - LLANDOW CIRCUIT:

i would be interested in this - but are we going to cap it? ie no more than 12 cars on the track at a time? or have set sessions, say in groups of 10 and each group gets 5x 20minutes on track each?? and could split it into novices, regular, pro etc, so yoru not mixing someone who has done 20 track days to someone who is nervous and never been.

PS if this goes ahead, it may be worth contacting a few magazines see if they want to pop along for a shoot?

if you need any help, give me a shout.

 

[starbogt]

is this aimed towards next year sam?

[Starlet_Sam]

Nice fast track perhaps?

 

[Dub-Se7en]

i'd go with that one, llandow is it? be good for track n00bs too.

or anglesea, as my mum's caravan is within hobbling distance if i stack it

 

[Elaine]

Sam thats going to be far to boring!!!

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Been looking at Anglesey, I'd go for the Coastal Circuit. It looks to be a bit of a tyre/brake killer but so so awesome.

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Sam thats going to be far to boring!!!

I don't think so, nice fast track with some decent turns. Good for newcomers and more friendly on the car.

hahaha I happen to agree with you on that Sam

The Coastal Circuit is one of the better ones imo
