Unfortunately I cannot make the 29th as I am away that week and travelling out on that morning.  I hope you get the numbers k.

Check mondello.ie for the circuit layout.  In terms of organisation, the cars will get divided into 2-3 groups which are based on the power of the cars (so people will be driving with cars of a similar ability).  The groups go out alternately for 8-10 laps and then come in to let the other group off/allow brakes etc to cool. How many laps do we get? Between 30-60 depending on how handy you take it and whether your engine blows up or not.  I can't remember exactly but i recall Eamo did 64 miles on his obc last time iirc.  If this sounds like very little, believe me its not. What's the likely cost? €150-200 Apart from tyres, what gets the hardest abuse from a session like this, your trousers?  brakes, gearbox, and nappies

Guys you're hardly going to make a grown man beg, and maybe even cry if you hit him hard and say NO

actually bring the scooby but use it to transport he fiver!

Eamo-  it was fine when I took it out but it's a bit heavy in the corners, and especially now that it's the national and not the international. The scoobie is alot more fun across country but for everything else i'd take the 523 anyday. It's amazing the comfort and refinement in the 5 series when you've gotten out of something else.

Brian, why not bring the M3 to the ring at Easter to warm up for the BDD, there is a load of us going over again this year, although the GP track wont be open for us to drive on this year, as those bloody Porsche GT's are using it that weekend

Been away for a while working on the car in the evenings but am back and as long as croker aint open that day for a replay or summit I'll be there with bells on, for my first trackday!

wwwoooowwwwwaaaaaaaaa............

Interesting!! Whats the details?

I atteded a track day last year, it was a good day out but the only thing is, I am not a full member, no membership card etc. I do want to join the club and avail of the Paddock meets prior to track outings but dnt hav a credit card and dnt know how i can pay cash! I think one can only participate on track on presentation of memdership!!! Whats the story!!!! HAHA I would be up for either track by the way, as i have never driven on it yet so i aint fussy!!!!

Killian

I thought after the muppetry at the last track day that people wouldnt be allowed to join on the day any more??

Mick

(ps this is not anything personal against Paddy...I have no idea who he is and he may be a top bloke for all I know but we all remember what happened the last time)

(pps I have no right to comment anyway since unfortunately I can't make it!)

Sorry - you are indeed correct.
If someone wants to join then they will need to do so before the event.
