Default Rockingham Wet grip filled !

6 places now filled for am wet track.
Been trying to get on the wet track at Rockingham for a while and now been told there is a slot on JANUARY 19th (Tuesday) but I need 5+ people + me to secure the slot.
If more than 6 people book, you still get the same time on the wet track - but more instructors.

Option 1
Half day on the wet track learning how to control skids, and intro to 4 wheel drifting (). The proportion of time between the 2 elements is open to some adjustment, depending on who wants what. There should be 2 instructors per 6 of us. Total time about 2-2.5 hours on the wet track, but shared between those there. £99

Option 2: for people who want a whole day's experience NOT AVAILABLE as 5 are booked on Option 1 only.
Morning = Option 1, then afternoon is the Drive Safe experience.
Whole day £175

For more info see website, or contact Kyley - info above is brief outline only.
Rockingham UK - Corporate days, driving days, racing, driver training
For wet grip select OEM (top menu bar) then wet grip.
For Drive safe select "Driver Training" from top menu bar then its the 6 bullet points at the bottom of the page.

Places are very limited, so if you are interested contact Kyley on 01536 271524 who will give any more info + payment details. Please PM me or post here if you are going (ie paid !) so I keep track of numbers !

Loads of people on here have been, and will hopefully add more info/feedback !

Am I right in thinking this is 2 - 2.5 hours split between the 6 places therefore each place wil get 20 - 25 minutes each?

And if you bring a friend can they use some of the time allocated to the place?

Best to get the info direct from horses mouth - give Kyley a ring 01536 271524.
It would help others if you let us know the difinitive answers !

Rang Kyley and it is about 30 mins per person on the wet track.
Wet track session only happens in morning - not p.m.

No worries, Juggers !
I was only interested in the wet track so only booked that. (Already done RoSPA Advanced, which covered pm session and more)
May be worth everyone saying whether they have booked morning or full day so those who want the full day can see how its filling up.
If there aren't enough people you get a refund.

Cross posted to the 08 09 thread as I know there are a couple of local boys.

By my math, there are 2 places left.

Cheers Simon.
Need 2 for it to go ahead. If more than 6 come, they put on extra instructors, and arrange it so everyone still gets the same time on track.
