Time is the problem - I have none, definitely not worth the hassle with an auto box. It was a fleeting moment - saw the price and thought "Trackday!!"

Ah well.. I'll be keeping an eye on your project to see how she comes along - best of luck with her. Don't know my schedule yet but might swing down on the day for a look

@BM Fan; I think you'd pick one up over here for less money. An NCT failure e30 would be going for nothing. The one we bought was for good money but fair enough we needed to do some engine work, body work, put in a roll cage, harnesses, buckets etc.

It's a fun project really. I wouldn't bother buying one that was already done and thrashed.

Just my opinion.

If passengers arrive mid session, can they still pay and go out (thinking of taking a spin up when I finish in Galway, but wouldn't be there until about 4, if I'm lucky)

Ya that's what I'm kinda worried about.

It's good to be able to let your car cool down between groups. Less chance of the engine taking a dump and brake failure.

You see thats where my question is. If we use the car for just the one group, it will only be on the track for the same period of time as anybody else in that group. If two people are sharing that car, they each will only be getting half the time on the track as everyone else. Surely there should be a concession for 2 people using the one car?

Seems a bit unfair for people sharing really!?

You can bring it out in both groups but the car would need a break to cool down

@ Graham - if you and a EoinO were to do that then you would be getting pretty much as much driving as others who are paying the full rate, which isn't fair.
I have apologised for the prices previously but can't do anything about it as this is purely down to Mondello increasing costs and Im keeping my fingers crossed that it breaks even as it is.

@ Luke - nice one mate! welcome. You can settle the track fee on the day if you wish. Your guest can just come down on the day - no pre-booking necessary.

From what I remeber it is per driver. So if you have a fleet of cars you can bring em all down and only pay 200

Heard ye were organising a track day and was wondering is there still vacancies?

My membership is only just after running out this month. Would it be ok to renew it at Mondello? Saw in a few previous posts that ye are not letting people join on the day, due to the few muppets last time (good idea).

Myself and EoinO would like to bring our e30 325 track car along if that would be ok? Would it be 200 a head even if we are driving the one car?

If the answers to all the above is yes, I'll def go to mondello and can you put myself and EoinO on the definate list please.

Hopefully see ye then,

The track day will be on the afternoon of April 29th on Mondello's National Circuit. Due to Mondello costs, it will cost each driver 200.
There will be two groups - a novice/low power group and a higher power /more experienced group. The groups will go out for ~15 minutes while the other group pits for a quick break and let their cars cool.

For more details and an application form see http://www.bmwcarclubireland.com/mondello/
