Oh shit, wish I'd known about this mate, would have come along with you :(

Llandow is a good beginner track and is quite a nice run to get there. Ive done hastings to Llandow on a sat morning in 3 hours in a diesel passat.

Dont use j33 off the m/way use j35 and turn right at the roundabout heading away from Llandow on the A473, at the first roundabout turn right into Felindre rd, follow the road and you go under the M4 keep going for several miles to the end of the road this is a stagared cross road with the opposite road slightly to the right, turn left and then right into the opposite(left) road, the road you cross is the A48.you are now on the road to the track, follow it for several miles through a narrow stretchr (keep your eyes pealed for the strange petrol pumps in the garden on the right just before it goes narrow) and when the road opens out with very few trees the circuit will apear on your right!!!!! have fun all and keep it rubber side down! :wave:

8.30am Gates open

9.10am Signing on

9.30am Circuit Safety Briefing (will be announced over tannoy system)

10.00am - 5.00pm Track activities

1.00pm - 2.00pm Lunch break

3.15 – 3.30 pm Afternoon break

5:30 close


Basically split into 3 groups, novice / inter / pro in the morning after briefing... and go out in those groups up until lunch time.

Then after lunch scrap the groups and go 'open pit' so anyone can go out anytime in any group.

If all spaces get filled, it's £67 for SSC members or £79 for non members.

Paul do you know the format of the day? And how they are pricing it?

Batty boys :lol: none of you chumps up for this? £67 for whole day is cheap.

I'm gonna go to it I think. I think i fixed my front suspension issue and gonna get some new brake discs...

Anyone want to come passenger for free day out / keeping me company in the car?

oh no i agree with you, in the case of that particular car he's spent as much on chrome for the engine bay as he has on everything else iirc.

most drivers would be perfectly suited with a standard gti to start with. plenty of car to learn in (was about right for me!)

This sort of thing annoys me

That car is like 200-250 bhp ...

Had thousands spent, everything is 100%, suspension, brakes, LSD, etc etc...

Yet, look how it's driven, super slow through any corner, and then nailed down the straight. Then starts braking miles away from any corner.

This is why when people look at paper figures and track days, it means nothing...

I honestly could go round quicker than that and my car is so inferior to it. Car deserves to be driven harder than that...

it takes no skill to accelerate quickly down a straight and a lot more rewarding to carry the speed through the bend.

Llandow is probably about 2 hours, maybe a bit more depending on whether there's a queue at the toll. just remember to have £5.30 handy or they do turn you round

yeh multimap says 3 hrs to me too lol

lies


Basically keep watching the thread dan, there's about 6-7 people who say they're going but are awaiting the payment confirmation, I think they'll hit the minimum no sweat.

3hours away hmmmm, would go if it was 100% going to be 70 but dont fancy forking out an extra 30 odd quid on the day too

No money :(

aye and theres always one that dont move out the way to let you past .. which is even more annoying when you dont have the power to outrun them on the straights

yeh i must admit i've watched a few of these vids and am like wtf? :| why they all going so slow? tho they usually get quicker towards the end of session.

A lot of people seem to like to play 'follow each other in a big train' on track :|

:lol:

this guy will never make f1 :lol:

Hey, I may be attending this track day with SSC

http://www.saxosportsclub.com/ForumsPro/viewforum/f=27.html

But they've currently got quite a few spare spaces, llandow is quite a small track and I think it'll only have a few cars out on track at any time, but it'll be a good chance to get used to being on track and shake down for your car...

My car's currently got a few problems with it, but i think I may still go anyway.

Since I don't really know that many SSC members (though the people i do know are nice guys) I was wondering if some of you guys wanted to come along?

Be good practice for some of your guys never been on track before... May have a passenger seat for anyone that I can pick up along the way or wants to drive to my house for the day.
