My brakes will just be getting warm, not boiling off like yours were last year Faz! Never seen a pad so out of braking material!

focuszetec · 21 Jan 2009, 12:34 (Ref:2376063)

This maybe a daft question as i am sure it will be signposted but for the trackday tomorrow at brands hatch where will the sign on be?

Absolutely. The other half the time you should be looking out of the passenger window...

New Brake Pads orderd don't want another problem like last year EBC yellows all round

Probably not Faz, more likely me being a bigger chicken.

Saying that I have been more prone to letting it get loose this year, so I'm going to reign myself in a bit on track. Can't afford to stuff it at _ insert corner here_.

My brake pad order will be going in very shortly for some quality EBC stuff.

I've not received a ticket...do I need to worry?

You dont normally need a ticket, entry to track days is free so they dont need to send any out.

GTiDog · 21 Jan 2009, 20:55 (Ref:2376382)

Great thanks

I received by membership pack today (many thanks to Sue Whitlock) so I'm all set...Bring on CADWELL

We spend so much time watching other people out on the track, it's nice to be able to experience it first hand

spanner · 21 Jan 2009, 21:31 (Ref:2376402)

I've never really been to Cadwell but know the circuit so can't wait for satuday. Whats a good time to get there, i.e sign on etc? Haven't quite worked out how early to leave home yet, its quite a drive.

GTiDog · 21 Jan 2009, 21:42 (Ref:2376410)

I think sign on is at 0730.

Have you had anything through from MSV? I've not recieved any timetables etc.

7:30 is a bit early, but if it means a blast round the Park then so be it

Edit to add:

Oh yes I have, just dug back through the emails that came through at booking time.

Or make sure you don't prang it

I'm not getting any for the marshal's one, but I will for the BMW Car Club one (13-Feb), as I've seen some nutters (in the nicest sense) there before and they've seen me

- plus it'll be the first time out for my new car, so I'll be learning lots on the BMW CC day.

Crazy Marshal · 22 Jan 2009, 15:32 (Ref:2376893)

i think it might be worth me getting some insurance... providing it doesn't cost too much... never even driven round oulton before let alone done a track day!!

Crazy Marshal · 22 Jan 2009, 15:50 (Ref:2376902)

Got my insurance all sorted now only £36 for the day so i'm happy... thanks for recommending those websites

This is for the Oulton Park Trackday m8

mini1400 · 22 Jan 2009, 19:04 (Ref:2377028)

Had great fun at the Brands Hatch trackday, many thanks to all at MSVR for organising it.

Car ran well, even if the brakes were smoking at the end of each session

Did 70 track miles and got about 12mpg!!!

Stuart H · 22 Jan 2009, 20:01 (Ref:2377050)

Least you got further than me!!

GTiDog · 22 Jan 2009, 20:28 (Ref:2377063)

The last track day I did in my track car (1.4 peugeot 106) it did 13mpg...

I suppose mine wasn't too bad then being a 2.0 V6 Mazda

Mind you, I did manage 9mpg in the Mini once

I was struggling to get the car to rev above 4000 rpm in any gear. After about 6 laps I decided to call it a day. Anyway I'm taking the car to demon tweeks later on this morning to see if they can cure the pump problem.

Bibs · 23 Jan 2009, 09:03 (Ref:2377378)

Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen, I had an excellent day and lots and lots of fun

Only 28 marshals booked on at Brands Hatch though which was surprising. We had to share the track with a Sierra Cosworth, Audi R8, Ferrari F430, Porsche 911 GT2 & GT3 and some other seriously quick hardware and very experienced drivers. Lots of fun overtaking them though
