I could come along and give you some tips if required? The week before I am driving at Castle Combe with the Lotus Seven Club (their may still be a place if you'd like me to ask?), so won't have the budget for another day so soon after.

Well we are more than likely going to be coming, just dad needs to get his arse into gear and decide what he is driving! He is a little concerned about taking the Porsche as he is not that confident in it yet, but wants to take the kit car instead. I told him, to take both and we can swap! smile

Great, pleased you'll be able to make it. It's the perfect way for your Dad to gain confidence in the Porsche.

Some good news, I have opened out the invitation to the local area of the Lotus Seven Club, and we have a good few takers. This means we will definately get the £90 each rate for this trackday.

Cheers

To be fair, they all do have a point. Stanford hall was a 2hr drive, but you didn't hear me complaining about somewhere to stay overnight, yet you overslept and only lived an hour away from it rolleyes

There seem to be cheap places to stay overnight - it's over 2 and a half hours of M25/M4 for me, so I'm staying at a place in Devizes on the Sunday. Trackday's free (voucher), so happy to pay for an overnight.

Hope you "hardcore" guys feel suitably manly picking flies out of your teeth whilst I'm having a nice cooked breakfast after 8 hours sleep laugh

PS - Marco, sign-on is 9am, so not too bad.

Although dad and I will be coming, (Dad should be paying as I write this) it will not be in the porsche, but in the kit car!

Apparently there is a problem with the wastegate getting stuck open on the left hand side. Although I am perfectly confident he could fix it in time, I am pretty sure it's just he is still too scared of the porsche! lol!

Still the kit car will be fun and we can give Dave and the other open top runners a run for their money! Woo Hoo!

Hi guys, We are still in Spain, but picked up the phone and paid for us today. wink

Natasha did say that only two others have booked using my name as a reference, which is strange. Might be worth checking that you guys were only charged £90 each. smile
