 Topic: Mondello
Posted: 13-February-2006 at 06:41 |

As I had previoulsy mentioned, I have booked Mondello national for Oct 8th (IIRC!).
I have now provisionally booked April 29th again on the National.
Expect basic fees to be €150. This is the weekend of Punchestown hence why it is free.
I will draw up app forms and will let you know more as I get it.

boss - tbh honest if its the National Im not really interested.
The International circuit is hard enough on brakes without having to do the shorter national circuit.
I know we have debated this already what with the increased costs, getting numbers etc etc.

Killian my preference is for the International. I would be prepared to pay up to €100 extra for a 4 hr session.

I'd prefer the international aswell.
Tis a catch 22, but while Mondello international on a weekend is a pricey beast, so is travelling abroad to do another track! So I'll pay what it takes to do it no probs.

glad to hear it boys. Hopefully 50 others out there will think the same.
Once I have definite details about the spring date then I will approach the NI crowd as well as some dealers with the view to reducing costs.

I am also up for it......track days are a rare enough event in Ireland
so I would be in the camp that would be prepared to pay extra for the
international.

I should be OK for 29th. I'd be prepared to stump up extra to give the international a try.
I make it 6 - nil so far in favour of international!
Best of luck.

I seriously advise you not to take an E46 M3 CSL out on the open
days. I went down to one and it was honestly full of knackers in
clapped out cars who didnt give a toss what happened. With some
machinery like that, you will be a nervous wreck going out uninsured
with lots of people who have far less to lose than you.
Go and take a look if you must, and maybe I got it on a bad day, but
the vrt situation here in the south means the standard of car is far
lower on average than you might expect in the uk.

I'd fully agree, I went to an open day, its madness. What turned me off was the bunch of chavs beside me drinking many cans of scrumpy jack then going out for a few laps, thats what your dealing with.. It was over crowded with lots of shunts, mostly from dusty scrap yard wrecks that had been lowered onto the track by break down rigids...
