I used to run these events so if you've any questions fire away. Will be good to see more Scoobs there!

Pete.

 

Been to a few of these. Great venue and people and one of the few places you can max out your car on a track (had a indicated 150mph in my old bus). it is a bit hard on tyres though but well worth it

 

I'm booked in on the Saturday, looking forward to it!

 

This looks brilliant and at a good cost too. Could be a contender for my first ever track day.

 

Looks good.

For those that have done it before what more can you tell us about the day?

I guess it will be some kind of coned off sprint on a wide tarmac runway?

Thanks
Rob

 

There is more info on http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing...ackday+weekend

Yes it is a coned off runway/taxiway. It is not a sprint event but a proper trackday. There is one huuuuuge straight but lots of other corners,

see below, layout may change slightly and will be reversed in the afternoon



Normally they run sessions in the morning and open pit lane in the afternoon. Huge mix of cars attend from classic cars to monster Skylines and Ultimas. It is a very friendly event with everybody willing to help others and give advice on lines etc.

 

theres a few of us going from midland scoobies...stopping over the sat night and doing the sunday...

 

Al be up for this as I live in bury and I am posted in honington so I know Nathan lol

 

Guys,
Unfortunately as this is a front line operational air base the organisers have had to postpone, new date TBN. If you have booked you should have had your money refunded already by now. Message from the organisers:

"Dear all,

Regrettably, due to operational requirements, the track weekend scheduled for 28-29th April 2012 has been postponed until May 2012. The date will be confirmed next week but is likely to be 26-27th May. We will be refunding all payments made over the next few days and we'll open registration for the new dates as soon as this has been completed and the new dates confirmed. We felt that this was the best option rather than cancelling all together. The price for the event in May will be discounted as a gesture of goodwill. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you. If you have any problems, please get in touch with us via the details on the contacts page of the website.
We thank you all for your continued loyalty, support and patience. Despite this busy period for operations at RAF Marham we're determined to hold this event!

We hope to see you all in May.

Regards

Track Day Team"
