Default Driver Development / Track day. 7th December 2005. Warwick.

Ok guys, this the last day on offer in 2005 for the Driver Training/Track days that I organise at a certain Test Facility in Warwickshire.
Date Confirmed as Wednesday 7th December 2005

SCHEDULE
8.30 - Arrive for refreshments (available through day) and safety briefing etc.

09.00 - Split into groups of either 2 or 3 guests per instructor who will firstly take a customer (one of yours) car will you all in to show you what’s what (demo laps) with everyone in it. You will each then be tutored on a one on one basis (unless you don’t mind the others in car at same time) for circa 20-30mins each to fill up an hour - hour n half (most likely 2*10-15mins so your not sat around too long). (1of 3)

if required - lavatory / refreshment / cigarette break

10.30 - Go out and do the same as 09.30am but on a different activity. (2 of 3)

if required - lavatory / refreshment / cigarette break

12.00 - As 10.30am but again, on different activity (3of 3)

13.30 - Stop for lunch. (And most definitely time for a re-fuel! - convoy to Shell )

14.30 - If there is anything you want to try out more of, then now is the time. We will allow ‘til 16.30 for you to pick 'n' mix. Groups can be chopped and changed to accommodate requests.

16.30 - Debrief and end of day.

17.00 - First round at local pub is on me


Looking at working on 3 different activities:
1. Adverse Handling (Tarmac Rally Stage)
2. Tower Circuit (The Track)
3. Skid Pan (Car Control and Correction Techniques, Drifting and Doughnuts etc)
4.1: Autotest Area where we could incorporate a time trial or similar.*
4.2 should you require some on road driving tuition (hints and tips on how to get the most out of your car on the twisty roads or motorways, or any area you don’t feel sure on), this can also be offered. The road tuition usually lasts between 1-2 hours depending on your requirements. It is great background training for those who may be looking at ROPSA qualifications etc.*
*These activities could be run as a sacrifice to the 14.30 scheduled activity mentioned above. Those interested in these would need to register interest on booking and need to confirm upto 5 days before the event.

COSTS
£350 per car and first driver
£250 per additional driver (max 2)

If you don’t want to share your car with anyone,
and want the full 6hrs+ of track time to yourself
with personal 1-1 tuition all day: £600.


Non-Driving Guests: £20 per person paid cash on arrival to the event to cover hospitality and insurance costs.

There is a selection of cars available to hire for this event should you require. Please contact me via pm for more details.

NB. THIS IS NOT A TRACK DAY WHERE YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR SOLO AROUND THE TRACK. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INSTRUCTOR WHO WILL BE COACHING YOU AROUND THE CIRCUITS.



Important Information
Noise restrictions: NOISE LIMIT AT SITE IS 96DB Static . Exhaust is important, if you have an after market system fitted, then please check and have it quieted it to avoid disappointment on the day!
Height restrictions: extremely low(ered) and competition cars may find the vehicle is too low at certain areas of the venue, please advise us of your vehicle when booking. All road going vehicles are suitable.

Maximum number of cars for day will be limited to 30 and no more then 15 cars will be in use at any one time. This allows for a clearer circuit to be taught on and should mean the cars will last 'til mid day before needing to refuel. Also, tyres, brakes and engines get a breather reducing any potential problems liked warped discs, or blistered tyres. After all, you have to drive these cars home afterwards and the last thing you need is getting pulled over on your way home for illegal tyres! (The local police know what we do at the site, and DO keep an eye out in surrounding areas)

This event is the beginning of something good to all high performance car drivers, where you can practice with professionals within a safe and specifically designed environment. This is the sole remaining date available this year.

If you’re interested, get your names down in a list below!

1. It's rather costly
2. Many won't pass a 96db static test.

Subarus etc with OEM exhausts have no problem, we suffered last time with a few, but then they where pushing 117db which i guess is pretty much too noisey for anywhere!

p.s. 96 static is @6k rpm... measured from 2m from exhaust exit.
