Killian - Aren't you due a promotion to a higher league. Then I can take your position in the Miss Daisy Class.

I met a few of you guys in the Plaza Hotel up in Tallaght a few months back. I'm not a member of the club, but I'd like to join and get out for the track day in March.

I just picked up me 2002 E46 M3 and I'd like to try it out on the track!

How do I go about joining the club? How much does it cost?

Count me in for the track day too.

Plaza Hotel? Must have been one I wasn't invited to

Anyway, you can join via the join link at the top right of this page. IIRC it is UK£35 or about 50 yoyos.

Welcome Gus - and well wear with the M3 (ya lucky git! ) Plenty of fun out on the circuit with that.

@ Killian & Adrian ~ Most of us haven't been out on the international track anyway, so there'll be a bit of novice in all of us for half the circuit. I'm looking forward to the international section - some slower 90° corners to learn how the E36 behaves with a limited slip diff once traction is broken (ie I'll be skutting!)

Yeah, I wasn't invited either. Is there an inner circle in the club ?. The Plaza, sounds very posh. Maybe that was the New BMW Ireland Car Club.

Mondello International TrackThe double right hander @ Tarzan is great fun. Also the stretch from 'trapese' towards it is a straight downhill section!

I have used the Intl. section a couple of times at the Mondello PDC in a Formula Rover (limited!) car. Only spun once (whilst racing!)

snared!

I did the PDC three times and two of those saw me being black flagged for 'competitive behaviour'.  Got a very brief lecture where I was told to calm down and was released again! Evil Smile

I'd love to go but I'll be elsewhere...........

The fact that elsewhere is the Nurburgring makes it slightly easier to bear!!

Hi Killian

I'll be there and you know what car it will be!

I am looking forward to Parabolica it is going to be quick and the car should 4 wheel drift thereBig Smile

Roll on March 26.

Now I know we can't race but how about comparing lap times?

Shame you won't make it Barry, would have liked to meet up with you and maybe get spin as passenger, never mind maybe some other time.......your sideways antics will be missed

@ Gerard - what car are you going to be driving? And does this mean you'll be giving us an education on the circuit rather than from a passenger seat?

What ever about timing laps, my personal timer is IanH and his 330Ci. Now I have something that has some chance of keeping up, it should make it interesting! My poor old 525i was brought to within an inch of it's life every time I went out trying (unsuccessfully I might add!).

@ IanH - get your name up on that attendance list quick!
