Pierscoe1 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Hello all, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, as it's speculative rather than an actual event, but anyway... I'd like to do a car control day in my new Z... Now I've had a bunch of rwd cars before, and am not opposed to a bit of, er, oppo... but the Z is a big old thing, and substantially more powerful than my previous cars, so I want to have a good play somewhere where there's plenty of space to get to know it Something like this is what I have in mind: Does anybody know of anywhere that does these sorts of days? I know there was a Porsche one at silverstone, but in their cars etc... Quote
StevoD Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 go pod and get in there play pens at a dwyb Quote
brillomaster Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 few and far between in my opinion - Mazda on track used to do great days with coned courses on a big carpark. i did notice they are doing this day if you're anywhere near brands hatch: http://www.mazdaontrack.co.uk/brands-hatch---wednesday-9th-april-2014--car-control-day-609-p.asp Quote
Ekona Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Walshy day, North Weald. Accept no substitute. The man is a dry witted Welshie, but he's a top bloke and you'll learn a shed load. www.carlimits.com 1 Quote
Jez @ H-Dev Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I'm doing a Walshy day soon - a mate of mine (with the 460bhp MK Indy) did one last year and said it was excellent. We're both going this time Quote
Randy_Baton Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Anyone want to lend me a car??? (^_-) Quote
Pierscoe1 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Will look into the carlimits days... although I was hoping to find a wet-grip place so that I don't need to buy a spare set of wheels/tyres beforehand... Just seen the Rockingham give you "free sessions on our wet grip facility" if you do a trackday there.... so that might be a good option?... http://www.rockingham.co.uk/trackdays/track-days-rockingham.php Quote
brillomaster Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Yes, a few of us have been on the skidpan at Rockingham, search for 'dance of the zeds' for the results! Plus rockingham happens to be a rather nice circuit for a trackday! Oulton park have a wet drift facility you could go along to - not tried it myself but again a few people on here have taken zeds on it. very slippery surface, zero tyre wear (but your car will get filthy) Quote
