Cool WYIOC Trackday @ Rallydrive

Following the success of the first trackday at Rallydrive, it has been decided to make it a bi-annual event. I have provisionally booked the venue for saturday 18th September. The track is about 10 miles south of Scnuthorpe, so ideally located for all Yorkshire Scoob (& other performance car) owners, so come on guys, sign up for a great cheap trackday.
The cost will be £27 per car if we fill all the spaces (which should be no problem the way the Fenay meet is growing).
The cost per car covers the 1st driver, any additional drivers shall be charged at £5 each will be deducted from the total to be divided. (At the request of Sticky)
Spectating cars will be charged £5 each which will be deducted from the total to be divided as before.
Tuition from Howard Patterson (30yrs rallying experience) will be available again at the same price of £150, split between those having it.
As last time, the track will be ours for the whole day and apart from common basic safety sense, there are few rules. Loud exhausts are no problem

This is an excellent track day for those who have not tried one before.

It is very informal, no idiots, drive at the pace you want without having to worry what is behind you, lots of run off if it all goes wrong. The guys also have an excellent 4 cars only on track system which gives you as much or little track time as you want, when you want, without it getting too busy.

The instruction is excellent and informative, and targeted at each individual driver. Having the instructor drive your car was a big eye opener!

For the money, it simply does not get better than this.

You can also get a nice on-track photo (for a small consideration )

Default Update

OK.. as we appear to be having some success with the take-up I thought I'd post a little extra about the day for those who haven't done this before.....

1. Costs & safety Will be covered by Dave & Howard on or nearer the day..

2. The Track. To be open and honest; You should be aware that the track is not Silverstone smooth or wide. It is designed to test a rally car on tarmac with quite a few twists and turns and a few concrete raised sections to upset the car. Also be aware that there may be a few pot holes that could damage an alloy if hit at the wrong angle or speed. The run off in some places is very limited and protected with tyres. Coming off in these areas may result in some contact.. We had no tears last year.. but just to make to you aware.

We may have a brief walk around period to point out particular areas..

Track access. We'll be running the successful 4 token system for track access. The four numbered tokens will be placed at the track entry point and can be picked up by anyone and used straight away for access to the track... No token, no entry. Simply wait until a car comes off, take the token and do your thing...

You can then go out and do as many laps as you want. Simple. Most people did 3-5 laps and then came off for a breather....

At a busy time, you may find that you're in a short queue, but as the cars are only out for approx 5 minutes, you won't be waiting long. We found that for the most part, you could pick a token up and run..

This is down to the fact that we have the track all day (6 odd Hours).. So you can pace yourself.

3. Comfort. The track is a good 1/4-1/2 mile from the briefing cabin and there are no facilities at the trackside to speak of. There's a small porta-cabin to store some gear, but it isn't big enough to sit in. Therefore it is recommended that you take some chairs & tables to make the day comfortable. If someone has a gazebo that would be ideal if it’s raining/sunny (hopefully a bit of both )

4. Food. There are no catering facilities on site. Dave might have some portable BBQ's left over from last year. So bring along some Burgers etc.. and make use of that. It would be an idea to bring a flask & other drinks too (No Alcohol plse)..

5. Convoy. We will be organising a convoy down to the track. The route will be advertised nearer the day, but there is an Optimax Garage just south of Scunny where we will stop off to get a top-up and to pick up any last minute supplies..

6. Enjoyment This is a quality track day out for silly money and probably the cheapest track use you'll find. The only club rules we have are that;

1. You have a good time..
2. You respect the off track area as there will be kids and other drivers and spectators around.
3. You have a good time..

7. Big thanks to Dave for organising this again. We will keep posting here all the information you need.

8. Request Last year we timed some runs for a little fun. Nokia phones did an OK job... But if you have access to some free timing gear... we would be grateful.. Cheers!

Cheers...

Can I book a place please. Will travel down with Supertouring.

I was talking to a guy that runs Pararalling (based at Rally Drive) a couple of weeks ago at Donnington who has a Scoob rally car with hand controls as he is in a wheel chair. Top guy.

Does Howard drive your car or just sit as passenger?

Right guys, with all places filled and the deposit about to be paid, let's dot the T's and cross the I's.

There are a few people who are a little unsure (me included ) so can I request confirmation as soon as possible to free up spaces for any others who may wish to come.

There aren't many takers for tuition. I can thoroughly recommend it (I've had 3 sessions with Howard in the past) and at the money it's a steal. I'm sure a couple of the guys who did it last time will vouch that it is very worthwhile experience. To answer Andy S, yes Howard does drive your car (unless you don't want him to), and it's amazing how much quicker he is and how much you can learn about your own cars dynamics.

I'm waiting to hear from the 'proper car' owners (), although I already have two definates...

25. Chishyboy (Proper car, complete with new clutch )
26. RAD (Another proper car)
27. Evo 3 (Sticky's mates)
28. Evo 4 (Sticky's mates)
29. Evo 5 (Sticky's mates)

Looks like some Scooby *** is gonna get kicked

Popularity has always eluded me, for some strange reason!!!
