Passengered in a CSL belonging to BMWClub UK member around Silverstone last Sept, and it was some motor - the NOISE out of it!!!!! Yum.. And no end to front end grip out of the yoke either.
Looking forward to hearing it wrung out around Mondello, Justin!

LOL - I bags first go in the CSL* because I booked the date
Speaking of which - i have requested the International and Ian Beatty just has to double check that the school isn't on that day and will come back to me.
Now, we would be best getting some sponsorship money to put into the kitty methinks!
* Can I drive?

Any thoughts, Killian? And any way we could help?
Maybe we should approach AXA or Hibernian or the like?  Supporting responsible performance driving in the safe confines of a circuit & all that (I know tis a long shot, partic when there's no insurance cover whilst on track!)
Any motoring organistations interested, like CarBuyersGuide, Eiretyres, Falken, GSF & the like?
Or some of the recommended suppliers listed on the site who get good business from the club & so might be able to justify giving a few quid back?

i would also pay any extra money for the international
not too much interested in the national ,it looked a bit cramped for me.

Bad news.
The international section has been booked out by the driving school so we have no option but to stay on the National. He tried to see if it was possible to cancel but apparently the volume dictated otherwise.
I will book the international for the autumn.

okey dokey.. disappointing, but at least I'll get an opportunity to compare 328 times from the last BDD & M3 times from Aprils. Every cloud!! 
My fear is that come autumn, there'll be a 'scheduling malfunction' on Mondellos side again, and we'll have the same situation as last time.

Sorry I've been away from the forum for a while. I should be ok for 29th APril. Will probably take out the scoobie instead of the e39 because of the power to weight ratio if that's ok. If I get an e36 m3 non evo in the mean time i'll take that out instead.

Hi K
Was wondering what the story is with bringing guests to the track day on the 29th of April?
Cheers Richie

Hiya guys,
Would love to give the national circuit a good lash, as I haven't attended a track day before - few questions first though:
What's the layout for the day?
How many laps do we get?
What's the likely cost?
Apart from tyres, what gets the hardest abuse from a session like this, your trousers?
