I doubt it, they'll fill up with ease and probably don't need to even think about offering discounts!

You can rent a helmet for £10, additional driver for £10, passenger for £10.

I doubt you will go through much tread if it's your first trackday. When I went with my 350z on Falken 452s I didn't really make much of a difference in them as I was taking it easy!

It's £179 for the day.

Insurance is optional, speak to your insurer to see if and how much it would be for the day, go without any or speak to a specialist 1 day track insurer. When I went I didn't bother, there are loads of reasons to get insurance, loads to not get it, completely up to you.

And yes, I will run out of fuel before I run out of tread

I also have a set sat in my garage. Around 30k miles on them, taken off for Berk HFCs.

Make me an offer and I'll see what I can do, I have absolutely no use for them as I don't even have a 350z any more!

Forgot to say, it's not an open pit lane; where you can go on and off track as much as you want throughout the day. But it follows a session format.

Once all the cars arrive at the track they split you into 3 groups. First group runs for 20 minutes, then comes off and second group goes on for 20 minutes, then comes off and the third group have their 20 minutes.

It means you're only on track for 20 minutes per hour but as anyone that has been to a track day before, that really is all you need unless you're car is track focused. Brakes/tyres/engine will need cooling after 20 minutes of driving round a track. It should also mean that you get put with people of similar experience/speed.

Yeah I'm sure there are a few people that are far from novice but it's a good way to get started for people who have been thinking about attending a trackday.

It is indeed They only run 1 or 2 novice days a year at Oulton.

Now that we've had a few drive out's around Wales and the Peak District I thought a few of you might be interested in a bit of fun on track!

It's a "novice only" trackday aimed at people with less than 3 trackdays under their belt. I went to this exact one around 2 years ago in my 350z and it was an awesome day. You don't have to worry about people constantly overtaking or having to move over all the time to let people through as most people there take their time round the track as it's their first go to. The guys there also take you out on a sighting lap so you get to see the course at a slow pace.

You can book some tuition for £25 which is well worth it after a few hours as the difference a well trained driver/instructor can make is incredible.

It doesn't matter what car you take really as there are always people in things you never thought you'd see on track like diesel astras, skoda yeti's etc

I'll be booking it this week so just thought I'd drop it on here to see if anyone else fancied it.

One thing to note, there are noise restrictions so if you have a loud exhaust I'd get it measured (db wise) to check if you'll pass the 105db (static) and 92db (drive-by) tests.

I'm not deaperate, just impatient

Another drive out sounds good, I'm also thinking of a track day at Oulton Park in August if anyone is interested. There's a "novice only" day which I did a couple of years ago in my 350z and it was good fun.

It's aimed at people with little or no track day experience so there aren't any stupidly fast drivers or loons hooning around which gives you time to get a bit of confidence up.

Sweet, chopchop

Might try and bob down to this, only 15mins from me!

Matt, any chance of uploading some footage from the Airfield car park?

Yeah I wasn't in fifth at all Think I used BOTL(Full boost straight away instead of havng to wait for the turbos to get going) in 2nd once when we were playing, the time I abso****inglutely nailed it away from you

Great day out, the drive back on the A5 was great. No traffic and just 3 of us made it good fun!

We'll definitely have to go straight to the evo triangle next time as I've not driven round there yet, sounds like you had good fun after we left. I don't think I would've made it all the way round anyway as I got home with 20 miles left in the tank!

Matt, just let your brother know at least I know my new brakes work ok Nah, it's fine, we overtook someone and then he wanted me to go past him as well just as I was going to slot in behind him, quick jab on the brakes then a full boot again quickly sorted that out.

When I eventually get round to moving house I'll buy a 350z again so I don't show you guys up in the straights Epic noises through the tunnels though, Niall has a couple of quick videos from inside the car that I'll stick up somewhere.

Early morning for me, raining a bit here tonight so I'll be washing the car in the morning (if I get my arse out of bed before 9am).

Fiesta

350z

R35 GTR

Simple!

As long as you're somewhere on the A548 you'll be able to hear us

I'll wash it Saturday evening if the weather holds out, will have my DI vessel and resin to see if it stops water marks!

We meeting between 9:30-10am on Sunday then @ Poplar? Niall is heading to mine first.

I'm tempted to not wash mine as it will just get filthy again, but then again, I've not washed it for about 3 weeks, it's filthy now

How's the weather looking? Sunday in Manchester looks rainy so I'm hoping it's not going to be wet everywhere!

GoPro sounds good! I've got new cameras in the car but they still don't like the noise. Not as much crackle as the last ones but still not GoPro quality.

I'll let Niall know there should be spaces in peoples cars to get about, seems a decent lad and the photos he takes look good!

A guy on PH has been looking for cars to photograph, I told him about the meet and he asked if he'd be able to come along. Doesn't have a car so would need to jump between ours.

Let me know if people don't mind having a random photographer in their car!

If even for 1 second mpg is a consideration, don't get a GTR. I've managed 16mpg over the past 5000 miles. That's tuned but why would you get a Japanese car and not play around with it!

Can't wait to get my car over to Paul's in October. Long waiting list but by the looks of this it's top quality work so worth the wait

Yeah it's as simple as pour out the old resin and put new resin in. Should hopefully last around a year as I wash the car once a month and the water hardness here is very low anyway.

Well the DI can't handle much pressure anyway which is why I've bought the hose. Otherwise I would've ust connected it to my pressure washer.

Someone on DW has their DI connected to their pressure washer and it works fine. We shall see! Paid extra and got 30 days money back on the hose so if it's @*!# I'll get my money back.
