Me Me! As an alternative though, how about booking with Donington on Sunday 4th of December for £99 - Here or Brands Indy on Sunday 11th of December for £110 with Easytrack (my preference) - Link

Who is that booked with, that's a great price? I have sent Easytrack an e-mail about Brands.... Focused Events. I got an extra 10% off that price as well as I've done 5 track days with them already this year. Not done Oulton Park befor so that was the attraction to me as well as the price

I won't be there in any driving capacity - having been warned for noise during the sighting laps (107.9db vs permitted 98db)it takes the edge off it for me not being able to fully give it the beans Might come and watch if there's a few going

I've been to Donington 4 times this year so I'll be giving this one a miss. I just booked Oulton Park on the 2nd Dec for £75. Anyone else up for this That's a great price, I had a very enjoyable day at Oulton back in August. Tempting. Dave, what are you hoping to achieve with your email to easytrack re Brands

Focused events have got some really good prices on their website at the moment, i guess the unpredictable weather takes its toll on the bookings.
If i could guarentee my car to be ready i would book this, and ive always wanted to do Oulton too.

Bloody destroys me everytime i drive that car.I think its just straight out the manifold from the sounds of it. Im not impressed at all with Focused events. The marshaling is non existent. Bad driving and the blue flags are ignored. Plus way too many cars are allowed out at once. I would rather pay a bit more and enjoy not having to look out for M1 traffic.

I'll not be making any more track days til Feb/ March next year.
I had a great day at Donny, and be up for doing more now ... but I *really* need a trailer.
The drive home in the dark down 10 miles of B-road with the headlights giving out the equivalent of 1/2 a candle each wasn't much fun!

I might have to look at what can be done, Marco. I was having to do less than 30mph on the B road home, as I simply couldn't see enough! The problem is that both the headlights and sidelights are all in the same 4 inch headlamp. I think there have been some solutions though
