mattbowey Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 hey alex, you spend a lot of time at trackdays right. what race licences do you have? How come you dont race your convertable? you'd do well right? ? Quote
Cragus Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 I think he does it for personal enjoyment? I also think if he was going in to compete he would strip his out? I could be completely wrong - I am sure he will answer. Quote
srobrien Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Thanks for the info Alex although this name change has put me off slightly I hope it doesn't mean I'll be sharing a track with some dude in a £900 corsa not caring a shite if he runs into the back of me, at least with Hot Marques I would imagine it would be more civilized. Think I'm home on the 12th of Feb so might book it for then before everyone cottons on that its back to a free for all. R Quote
ZMANALEX Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 hey alex, you spend a lot of time at trackdays right. what race licences do you have? How come you dont race your convertable? you'd do well right? ? National B licence, however not wealthy enough, and also lacking in talent to participate on a professional level. Quote

R It will not be the Corsa dude that you should be worried about, I would be more concerned about watching out for Neily. It will be cool Ross so no need to worry mate, however the March or April dates will be a bit warmer and track conditions should be better than in Feb. KRC is a cold circuit and in the months of Feb/March and Oct/Nov it can be difficult to get any meaningful heat into the tyres. Quote

Neilp Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Are you talking me down again I'm starting to see your tactics here.

Vik54 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Matt - have you got any idea what even regular track days cost - never mind actually trying to get into racing? Including wear and tear items you're prolly looking at £300-500 per track day. By the time you've paid for track time, fuel, tyres, pads, rotors and regular fluid changes. Not to mention suspension items ...do I need to go on? hey alex, you spend a lot of time at trackdays right. what race licences do you have?
