Mondello Park 2.2mile International Circuit I'm assuming a usual rate of €100 will apply and €30 per passenger. I plan on getting proper sponsorship for this also which hopefully will reduce our costs significantly. However, at 100 quid a go, we will need about 60 drivers to break even! All drivers will be required to bring their club membership cards and full drivers licence on the day. If you don't, then you don't drive. No exceptions!!!!! OK, for all those planning on attending:- Interested so far.... ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Ah no, it's the only weekend i'm not available. Missus has organised 5 nights in Prague and I cant say no to that.  That's a real pity cos I wanted to give it a go this time. Well not much I can do about it. I'm sure there will be a second one later in the year if all goes well. Did someone mention the possibility of a trip to the Isle of Man, i'd be on for that. ------------- Ado '97 523i & 95 M3 97 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon (sold) |

It's 5 nights in Prague so it's very hard to convince her that a cold evening in Mondello is more craic. It's also the only week some of our crew can get holidays, because its an automatic holiday week for most trades. ------------- Ado '97 523i & 95 M3 97 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon (sold) |

I met a few of you guys in the Plaza Hotel up in Tallaght a few months back. I'm not a member of the club, but I'd like to join and get out for the track day in March. I just picked up me 2002 E46 M3 and I'd like to try it out on the track! How do I go about joining the club? How much does it cost? Count me in for the track day too. |

Welcome Gus - and well wear with the M3 (ya lucky git! @ Killian & Adrian ~ Most of us haven't been out on the international track anyway, so there'll be a bit of novice in all of us for half the circuit. I'm looking forward to the international section - some slower 90° corners to learn how the E36 behaves with a limited slip diff once traction is broken (ie I'll be skutting!) ------------- Mazda 6 MPS S1 Elise 135 Sport Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon http://www.bmwcarclubireland.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-3254">

@ Gerard - what car are you going to be driving? And does this mean you'll be giving us an education on the circuit rather than from a passenger seat? What ever about timing laps, my personal timer is IanH and his 330Ci. Now I have something that has some chance of keeping up, it should make it interesting!

Sent mine in the post yesterday. It says on the instructions that some insurance companies may cover you in the event of an accident as it may not be classified as racing.

Ado - forget about insurance. A standard road policy generally states that competitive or track use is not covered. You would need a special track day policy. We tried organising this in the past and they didn't really want to know. Just drive within your limits and you shouldn't do anything wrong. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

If you'd really like insurance for the day, I've got a quote from http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk - http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk The guys name is Chris Yemm, if you want a quote just mail him (cyemm@eggerlawson.co.uk) and he'll send you a form. Personally I think it's a bit steep for the day...Stg£283 with a Stg£3,700 excess. But that's on an M3 and once any insurance company hears you want to insure one them it's like a licence to 'rip you a new one' If enough people were interested in insurance, he might be able to work out some kind of group deal? Or have you guys been doen this route before? |

In the event of an accident you'll have paid out €5750. If thats all it costs you to repair an M3 you'll be doin well.
I'd do it if I was taking an M3 out and intending to drive the ar*e out of it! ------------- Richie

Had the car out last July on a very quiet trackday and found that after a few laps the M5 does not scream down the straight, its more of aloud BELLOW,anyway its the only time I've ever got the exhausts hot enough to make them sound the way they should ie:lots of popping and banging on the overrun Should be a bit of fun...he.he.he ------------- |

Speaking of M5s, I was onto Murphy & Gunn this evening, inviting them along and was talking to Kelvin. Apparently, as part of his development in understanding how customer's cars work, he has to head over to Rockingham to complete "non-technical training in the new M5" - in English this means he is getting paid to go over and drive the new beast on track! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Aidan - V8s are fantastic, I lived in the states and had a 73 Mustang
convertible with a 351 Cleveland, twin Holley 750 carbs, high lift cams
and racing exhaust. 400 bhp at the rear wheels on leaf springs Thing was harder on rear tyres than juice but great fun. Handling was not even a topic and come to think of it it was fairly brutal at stopping but on a rolling start it was mental. Must dig out some oics and scan them in to post them up. Wish I'd never sold it but hey at the time beer was more a priority. ------------- Martin In BMW exile at the moment (Shame on me for lurking!!!)

We are *not* out with the Porsches. They are on in the morning and we are on in the afternoon! It is just coincidental that we share the same day. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

I just had a look at the http://www.porsche-club-ireland.ie - porsche club site - there are a few pics from their track day last October but one confuses me - is there a car there that possibly shouldn't be? ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

and here I was thinking that you were refering to that Smart thing in the foreground, but those Cayennes are seriously rapid. Not sure what purpose they have in this country though. An X5 is a better all rounder and has plenty of poke. ------------- Ado '97 523i & 95 M3 97 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon (sold) |

@killian
I know of 2 members who will be taking part in the trackday. However they wouldnt have known if it if I hadn't told them as they are not on the net. I wonder how many other members are not aware of the track day due to no intenet access. I dont want to start a debate on the matter but in this instance how are members with no internet access been targeted? ------------- |

Am wondering if there is still places for admissions to the Mondello Track Day? If so would it be possible to register for it in about 2 to 3 weeks? Am only just after gettin an e30 318is over from the UK and would really love to have a spin on the track with it. Am supposedly getting my Cert of permanent export for it this week, as the registration cert has been lost. Want to see how she differs from my e30 316 1800 carb. She should be good seein that she is superchipped, has a LSD and black leather recaro,s... Cannot fill in the application form as it is not registered yet, so i can't submit the Reg. and will have to put it through the NCT. It has an up to date MOT alright so the NCT should be no problem. Would it be possible to hold a place for me? Will be going up with Tom Elliot... Thanks ------------- 96 Subaru Impreza WRX Estate e30 325 Track Car |

@ Gstanley - you can join the club in Mondello as I will have app forms there. However, just in case, sign on for the day via the club office. You can telephone and pay via credit card also (00441225709009) which may be less hassle. Currently we have about 10 signed up. We also are quite confident on having BMW Irl on board who will provide us with some sponsorship dosh and hopefully some prizes*. * prizes for the best person to organise the event, for the best 523i with ACS kit, for the best person called Killian... ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Thanks a lot Killian.. Will give the office a shout in the morning so. Sure i was just thinkin today that i could just register it on the application form on the english plates and sort it out up there... If there is any hassle with the new irish plates on it then i will bring along the old ones and a roll of double adhesive tape....!!!!! She has an mot too so it should be grand safety wise. How much is it to join the club?
