Brian - there aren't really any hard and fast rules.
Preferred route is for drivers to register and pay a deposit with James ahead of the day. Any marque is welcome. Members and non-members are welcome. James as organiser of the day has final say in who participates. We reserve the right to refuse participation to an 'unknown' who turns up on the day, so in answer to your final question, no, the Scooby non-member is unlikely to be allowed on track. The day is not aimed at competitive racing. It is a chance to stretch your cars (and your) abilities in a legal environment. Some attendees arrange insurance, some do not. If you need more details, contact James direct as per http://www.newtongrove.demon.co.uk/bmwcc/crail_oct03.html Cheers, Duncan |

Does anyone have any details of motorsport insurance for the day's cover? Given cost of replacement due to accident and of course std. life insurance exempt clauses... Jon |

Costs seem to vary widely from insurer to insurer - much like 'normal' car insurance
![]() Some members have been quoted about £20 others substantially more. It may be worth posting in either the 'Better Driving Day' forum or the M Power forum as our more serious track heads tend to live there... ![]() |

Excellent - spectators always welcome ![]() Next year we hope to be sorting out a visit to Knockhill as well as returning to Crail. Fingers crossed we can get some of our Irish troops across and some members from more southerly climes too. |

Maybe popping over. Not sure if i'm bringing the car, depends on the weather. Will jump in with Gary or bring the bucket. It would be good to see knockhill full of M cars. |

Would those who are attending Crail be interested in touring to Le Mans next year? For discussion on the 25th Oct.. How many of you have attended the driving days at the Nordershlafe? |

Did Le Mans last year and pitched a tent. Not far from the circuit so was noisy at night.
Going next year but looking to stay in a B&B. Coming back last year planned to stop @ my sisters(North London) but drove all they way home. Trip was worth it and great to see so many smart motors. Dunc will hopefully be bring my new bucket to Crail. Gotta sell the 944, been a great car. |

I had a great day at the track - after a 5 hour drive and an overnight stop to get there. Next time, please pick a day which is not the start of half term in England, and the M6 is not closed overnight for bridge works.
Crail deserves lots of support to get it established. How often can you get a great ocean view when going along the track at 90? Thanks to everyone who organised it. |

James / Duncan Thanks for the great days entertainment. Definitley the best fun with your trousers on. As for the ocean view at max. speed - I couldn't take the time to look in the mirror just then. See you at Knockhill. Brian |

I think Brian was like me in that we both took a sedate approach on the bends but opened up on that back straight. I was in second coming off the last bend before that straight. But by taking a very wide line (As Dunc will confirm) on the back straight I was hitting 7000 rpm in third before snatching fourth well before the tyres before bend one. Redline in third in the Z3M is between 95-105mph adjusting for margin of error. I managed to stay on the gas in fourth for a few seconds before blipping for the tyres. I would assume the Z3M was either second or third fastest down the straight after then CSL and perhaps Brian's M5. A great day..! |
