  1. Hi Fellas

     

    We are organising another club trackday at Oulton Park, this time it’s Friday Nov 12th and we’re hoping to get some Z owners involved. As usual, we are offering this event to the owners clubs we work with first, it’s always a popular event with the clubs so it becomes a bit of a mini-meet as well. Oulton has some great places to spectate from, decent catering and plenty of space for everyone to gather together. We will also be having Xtreme Photography there so any drivers can see how their car looks on track and buy photos and CDs etc.

     

    The trackday will be running with our usual setup of open pitlane and limited numbers to make sure you can get plenty of lappage on this fantastic circuit!

     

    For the novices (or more experienced drivers) we will have free tuition available, all our instructors are ARDS licenced and hand picked from the guys I work with at the Oulton Race School so they are very familiar with how to get a car round the track quickly and safely and will make sure you get the best out of the day.

     

    The list price for this event is £150 but we are doing a special club rate and we’ve frozen last years price so you can book a place for just £125. Passengers can be booked in for a tenner and extra drivers for £35.

     

     

    Bookings can be made HERE but if you’d like to come along please shout up on here and I’ll PM you the discount code to get the club rate.

     

    Cheers

  2. Damn, thread subscription didn't work :rant:

    Yes, there are still spaces left, instruction is included FOC and as per my first post we may not be running any more this year due to the increased costs so nows yer chance!

     

    I'll PM the info to the guys who have posted up but if anyone else fancies it please shout up!

  3. We had a great day out at Brands, a wet start with one unfortunate casualty (car, not driver!) but only three red flags all day, very little queueing and great behaviour on track from all the drivers. We had everything from Porsches to Peugeots and Skylines to Minis out there and all going very well indeed!

    I'd forgotten just how steep Paddock Hill is!

     

    Big thanks to all the guys that came along for making it such a good day, if anyone wants to get some more Trackaction don’t forget we are at Cadwell on March 26th and we will be drifting at Oulton on March 13th, threads are on here or shout up for booking info to get the club discount!

     

    Cheers

  4. We’re off playing on the Oulton Park drift stages again, this time it’s on Saturday March 13th and of course all 350z members are invited along.

     

    This is a bit of what we get up to –

    This is a great fun event and a good way to learn how your car reacts when it runs out of grip. As an extra bonus, even after a full day drifting, the low friction surface on the drift stages at Oulton give virtually zero tyre wear!

     

    List price for this one is £140 for the day but we are doing the usual members rate of £120, extra drivers can sign in for £35 and passengers for a tenner. Free instruction is included so it's no problem if you haven't tried it before - if you'd like to come along please shout up on here and I'll PM you the booking details and a discount code .

     

    Cheers

    PS We have been told by Oulton that they will be increasing the hire cost for the venue this year, they have agreed to charge us for the March day at the 2009 price but if we run any more days there this year it will probably cost around an extra £30 per head so make the most of this price whilst you can!

  5. Our February trackday at Brands is now fully booked so we are looking towards Cadwell Park on Friday March 26th as our next track outing. We are running the usual setup of open pitlane, free tuition from our team of ARDS instructors and limited numbers to make sure you can get plenty of lappage on this fantastic circuit!

     

    The list price for this event is £150 but as ever we are doing a special rate for the clubs that we work with to run these days and we’ve frozen last years price so you can book a place for just £125. Passengers can be booked in for a tenner and extra drivers for £35.

     

    If you haven’t been to Cadwell before it’s one of the best circuits in the country, fast and flowing in some places, tight and twisty in others and with some gradient changes that you won’t believe until you have driven them - a fantastic trackday venue.

     

    If you’d like the guided tour then

     

    Bookings can be made HERE but if you’d like to come along please shout up and I’ll PM you the discount code to get the club rate.

  6. Hi Joanna, yep, this is for bringing your own car along to drive on circuit.

     

    The driving days where cars are provided don't give anywhere near as much track time but obviously can give a taster as to what it's like to drive on track. if you'd like to get one of these days at Brands then best bet is probably to do one of the MSV days (they own the circuit) CLICKY. They use BMW M3s which are a pretty quick motor (I instruct in them for MSV at Oulton Park) and he would get a go in a single seater as well.

     

    Good fun either way :lol:

  7. 2010 is nearly with us so we are looking forward to the new season and we’re starting in the south this year with a Trackaction-Online club day at Brands Hatch.

     

    This will be an open pitlane trackday on the Indy circuit with a 105db noise limit. As usual we will be limiting the numbers to ensure that everyone gets plenty of tracktime and we will have free instruction available for any drivers that want it.

     

    Brands is a great circuit, fast, flowing and very challenging so well worth a visit and we’ve got the usual club pricing available. The list price for the day is £150 but we’ve agreed a club rate of £125; passengers can be signed in for £10 and extra drivers for £35, garages can be pre-booked for £20.

     

    Thanks to the support of clubs and forums like yours we’ve had a great 2009 and we’re hoping to carry that into next year so if you’d like to come along you can book HERE, if you post up on this thread I’ll PM you the discounted booking code.

     

    Hope a few of you can make it along!

    PS - If you are looking likely to end up with socks and yet another Clarkson DVD, it might be a good time to drop a few hints to the better half that this would make a good xmas pressie!

     

     

    Here’s a few pics from our 2009 events -

  8. We are off to Oulton Park again on the Saturday before xmas for another driftday.

     

    For those that have not done this before, it’s the perfect way to learn how to drift your RWD or 4WD car and see how it handles and reacts in a slide. The low grip surface is very kind on tyres causing almost zero wear even after a full day of driving sideways! No problem if you are a complete novice, it’s a fun day out and a great way to practice your oversteer skills.

     

    Same format as usual, full access to both drift stages and free instruction available all day to make sure you get the feel for it, you can even get one of our annoyingly talented instructors to drive you round to see what your car can do!

     

    The discounted club rate is £120 for the day (£140 list price), passengers are a tenner and extra drivers £35.

    So if you are looking for the perfect way to get out of the shopping on the last Saturday before xmas or if you want to ask SWMBO for something better than a pair of socks as a present this year then shout up and we’ll get you booked in!

     

    Hope a few of you can make it along.

  9. Well we had a pretty slippery day at Oulton on Friday but I guess that was to be expected in November! Greasy in the morning followed by a dry line after lunch and then it rained to give us a proper wet track!

     

    Here’s a few of the shots from the day courtesy of Nick at Xtreme-

    Very pleased to see that despite the conditions and having a few red flags along the way that everyone seemed to have a good time and we managed to keep up our main aims of good behaviour on track and little or no queues to get on there. Big thanks to all the drivers that came along and made it such a good day, hopefully we’ll see you all at some more events next year!

    There’s more photos of some of the cars HERE and a bit of video

     

    Just want to say thanks to all those that came along, it was a really friendly group with people blagging rides in each other cars etc – makes it an enjoyable day to run.

     

    We’re looking forward to our trackday now at Oulton on Nov 13th and our next driftday will be on Dec 19th so I’ll be posting a thread up about that one soon, hope to see some of you there!

     

    Cheers
