Any idea how many places there are? I'd fancy going but won't if the weather is going to be very bad. It'll cost me a fortune just to get there so it would have to be worth it. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Looks interesting, but will have to wait until nearer the time before
being able to make a decision. I assume it is the Indy circuit? Cheers ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Obviously weather will be an issue but that's a chance you take. You would need to phone the contact number given on website I've linked to, for places available. It will be the Indie circuit for that price. We will probably wait till October to book but will be nice to go as it is also my 40th birthday on that day  ------------- E28 Alpina B9 E28 M535i (now a donor for B9) E24 M6 (work has started to get back up to scratch) E30 M3 (New Engine (almost), Cams, Brakes, ECU, Suspension, Alpha-N - Thanks Stannard Motors) E39 530i Touring - Now Sold, sob, sob E39 523i Touring |

Just been looking at the old Palma-Luton Easyjet bus. It seems a shame to miss this. I may come over and try to get a few passenger rides in the name of research, before I start taking the car apart, again! ------------- MALLORCAMAN Putting the ///M in Mallorca |

Jon,
Take all three if you have sufficient rims. I`m only going to take the R - roadtyres and slicks. If`s it really wet then may spend time drinking tea. There will be a lot of cars and drivers we all don`t know, or usally see on the regular trackdays, so hope there will be a good standard of driving, and not to many chav`s with ego`s who all think they are in a race. If wet, I`m going to take it slow, and by that I mean, watch everybody else trying to be hero`s on the first laps from the pit lane whilst they dry up the track, spin off, and carry on. From there a few gentle laps having a look around, picking up braking markers and lines and slowly wind the wick up till I can travel around within my limits. If I pass people good, if people pass me good as well, because I would have moved over to let them, and I think this will be our main problem on the day that, slower cars will not move over and will try to stay ahead, untill the over the next few corner`s they have an off and everybody ends back in the pits.
Bottom line is if the car behind is faster, indicate, move over, back-off the gas, and let him go. This way we will all enjoy the tracktime available, and take our cars home in one piece. Reason for the sermon I have read on a forum how some intend to buy a scrapper for the day. If thats the attitude, imagine the driving ??????? Hopefully we will all have a good safe day out and we all bring our toys home in one piece, and enjoy the company.
See you all on Thursday, Regards, Dave ------------- E30 M3 Road car ( Now in Hongkong ) E30 M3 Track Car S14 2.0L 2002 in progress E30 C2 2.7 Alpina E36 M3 3.2 EVO |

Dave, Wise words, I share your concerns I had a wasted day at Mallory a few years ago because the track was closed to recover cars that had left the black stuff when it went to open pit lane in the afternoon. I don't think I get a full lap in. We have some element of control by not getting dragged into a "race" but backing off and if the standard of driving by some is very poor then getting the MSV folks to "have a word". Based on the wording of their website I hope MSV will marshal it tightly, it is my first time at Brands so have no experience of their approach. Roll on Thursday. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |
