I read this as "Broken tooth brush" no help i am afraid but it made me look twice

airfield days destroy tyres usually though, my bumper has a thousand small holes in it now after raf valley lol, windscreen was chipped to bits also
Still awesome
A airfield day will be harder on your tyres than a track as said above and they are cheaper for a reason .

I've always fancied a track day in the zed but having never done one before imba tad nervous. I contacted thruxton and they said that in April they have a session that is open to the general public but you have to have a qualified instructor in the car with you. Their fees for this are 175
I can offer you a full day, not sessions for that at Oulton Park in Cheshire
for the first hour then 100 per hour there after if I remember correctly. Apparently they usually get around 12 cars max on the track at once and its all nicely organised and safe etc which suits me.
I am in the ATDO so days are as safe as the come. The next session is in April so I'm tempted to sign up for a couple of hours.
My question is, what effect is this likely to have on the zed?
Check oil, water air in tyres etc and you should be fine.
Baring in mind ill be very slow and cautious most likely. Am I going to find myself killing a set of tyres for example? Also how did you guys find your first track days, any advice?
You wont kill a set of tyres in April, track temp is to cool they key is just be smooth.
give me a bell if you wish and i will answer any questions . before 20.00 hrs as the little ones hopefully are in bed by then.

Pace Ward is another company i have used them several times.
They will do it on a daily basis depending on track and track day provider, if your track day provider is in the ATDO which is the Association of track day organizers it will cost you less.

Still a few places for this day left.

Just thought i would bump this up a bit as it is just 9 days to go
This day will be running with Limited numbers on track so it is a ideal day if you are thinking of just starting track days or indeed if you are a "old hand".
One chap has take the step to book on from here .......... will you allow him to go by himself ? surely not
We had two top tutors http://www.mikewilds.com & Sean Cooper on the day that are included in the price along with photography , food, and garages so it works out at being the best value Oulton Day in a long time .

Great report by Gt4 Zed about the incident .
I have to say that the after a few "near misses" with a few not so well driven cars over the past few years i have only done Private track days at the Ring since 2008.
If you are on a track day instead of a Tf day the Track day organizer has to pay upwards of £3,000 for extra marshals around the circuit that are just not there on the Tf day and this at least could give you some advanced notice about what if round the corner.
Also as a quick side note if the breakes ar cooked and you are shopping round i can say Ap's are superb.
Glad you missed all the other vehicles and got back in one piece.

http://www.motorsportshow.co.uk/
First year of the show and it looks like it could be a good one :]
Aimed at the man on the street track driver and also club motorsport ( so not f1/ downforce cars etc )
It looks like it is going to be like Autosport but for people who are more into the driving on track and preping there own car more than building for show & shine ...... what's the point of that ......

20th October sees Opentrack at Snetterton in Norfolk again.
We will be running on the new Snetterton 300 again Last winter Snetterton race circuit underwent a major redevelopment to make it the second longest track in the country. The circuit is now extended to include a extra one-mile section. This was completed before the start of the 2011 season. The improved circuit called Snetterton 300 is part of a 20m worth of investment proposed for the south Norfolk site.
With a total of 13 corners on the new circuit it is fast becoming one of the must do circuits in the Uk.
Old classics like The Bomb Hole remain unchanged however there is now a larger run off area on the outside of the bend. The first corner which is Super fast Riches also remains unchanged and it helps to keep some of the much loved history of this circuit alive.
Lying just of the A11 Snetterton is easy to get to from the south and also the midlands with good access via the A14 and also the M11.

Oulton Park sits in the quiet Cheshire countryside and is surrounded by woodland making this one of the best circuits in the country. Built into the natural contours of the Cheshire countryside, Oulton Park's combination of stunning scenery and a spectacular track make it one of the most picturesque and cherished circuits for spectators and drivers alike.
The Circuit we will be using is the full "International Circuit" which is 2.85 miles long and has 7 corners.These include the superb "Shell Oils Corner"which is banked and the very quick "Druids" and the challenging "Lodge corner".
