I also got a place, totally forgot about it. Does anyone have the URL that was originally posted here?


Oh, I found it.

Cheers,

Steve.

Just received an Email saying I have been offered a place, anybody else received one this morning?

Quite a nice thing to receive this morning considering I had completely forgotten I had even applied.

No nothing yet, but as my e-mail was about to change I opted to be telephoned at work.

Better stay close to my desk

Which circuit are you at m8?


DW thats cos they've seen your Toyota and and the way you drive it
I did the last one so they know I'm quiet & sedate.

Here is the email I received :

"It's not often that an email sets your pulse racing. But this one probably will. Because I'm delighted to offer you a place at Toyota on Track at Brands Hatch.

However to secure your place, you'll need to tell us whether you're definitely coming within the next five days.

We'll send you more details nearer the time about how to get to Brands Hatch. and an itinerary of your activities during the day. Until then, try to stay calm.

Yours sincerely

Paul Philpott
Marketing Director,
Toyota (GB) PLC

P.S. Please remember that to take part you will need to bring your driving licence along on the day."

I am now booked up for the PM session on May 29th.

Dream Weaver, if you already own an MR2 you WON'T get in! A whole lot of MR2 owners wrote into the MR2 forums a while ago complaining that they weren't invited to the last Toyota on Track day (me included!). The theory back then was that Toyota simply see us as 'sure things', already converted and therefore feel no need to splash out on tempting our custom. Grrr....

Cheers C, I thought about this, however....I own a 1994 MR2, and they should be trying to push me to buy the new shape version. It would be easier for them to sell to current MR2 owners because we know how great the cars are, how reliable they are and so on.

It would be far more difficult for them to sell to a current Impreza owner. As it is, I will never get to drive a new Celica or MR2 so my next car will probably be an Impreza.

Hopefully Toyota will read this and take note. And next time, I will put my current car down as a Fiat panda or something

Mik,

That might be a very good point as the email address is 109760-132@m1.mx0.net

Don't know what hotmail would make of that...

Dream Weaver,

I currently own a Renault Clio 1.2 so I wonder if that has anything to do with why I got a place? Pretty sure it is down to age as well as my girlfriend applied but she is only 24 so I guess they only want people who are 25 and over???

fuuny that, the 2 people I know who got in probably would have had pretty crappy cars on their entries 1 - a KA the other probably a metro!

The irony of me not getting in is that I may just have bought an MR2 as well, however my thoughts have since been sent in other directions, but a trip round the track in an MR2 may have got me back on the toyota way of thinking;-)

ADP - my thoughts exactly, especially as the better half is after a new car

Oh well, just have to take mine on the next track day
