Put me down as a definite please Tony. Preferably afternoon session please.
Should be able to test out how the DCCD-A works in a safe environment.
Maybe worth posting this in the general forum too..?

So did I..!!!
I'm down for the afternoon session, but will try and turn up a bit earlier and take a few snaps of the Butty D going sideways...
It looks a fantastic place to find out what the car will do..!!
Just packing now, before I make my way up to the hotel..!
Looking forward to this.
Nige.

It was a superb day. A touch cold waitning for your go, but superb. Again, as in the Prodrive day I learnt a lot about my car and had a chance to play with the diff settings. I like auto now..lol!!!
Pics and more of a write up to follow, but there seems to be ample accomodation in the area:
Rockingham UK - Where to stay, Hotels, Bed and Breakfast. Camping, Corby, Northamptonshire

Put me down for Feb as well!
A really worthwhile 1/2 day in which to find out what its like to lose total control in spins and no traction surfaces, then to learn or attempt to learn some ways of getting out of trouble.
It was very useful to try out the DCCD settings to see how much they help in saving a hairy moment.
Staff were excellent, particularly when they rode alongside and gave commentary on what to expect and how to survive.
The wet track is away from the main facilities and could do with a portacabin to give shelter, a loo and a cuppa.
I bet Feb will be colder, so wrap up very warm and bring a flask & snacks.
Saw Nige for some of his runs on the basalt - I hope the moving plate was amusing.
I took quite a few piccies but they are just junk. I seem to have a load of water jets and spray in focus
Here's me going a bit sideways on the plate

Tony - I'll do an AM slot.
Talking of techy bits getting confused, a couple of times on the drifting section, I had the ABS light flash and the DCCD thumb wheel lock up. I cured them by switching the IGN off and on. I presume the ECU brains couldn't cope with the wheel sensor readings and yaw changing so quickly?

as they were having a debreif after this first run event 
She did say might be able to "MIX" up the groups So group A has 4 Cars but pays £100 and group B has 5 Cars pays £80
which I have done above have a look and will alter to suit From what's been said, if
4 cars in a group you'll get approx 5 go's at each disapline
5 cars in a group you'll get approx 4 go's at each disapline

You can put me down for definite..
4 cars @ £100 each is would be good for me..! The group I'm pencilled in already has 4 so if it's ok with the others could we seal it at that IYSWIM..?
