Track day?!

Not sure if this has been asked before or whether anyone would be at all interested...................

Considering it's LR 60th and also considering most events cater for (and quite rightly) muddy exploits, would anybody on here fancy booking a track day or track half day at one of the many circuits???

We all know how capable the RRS is off road, but alas due to the ridiculous legal limit of 70mph, never really get to test at the more desired speeds, well, not admitadly obviously! Rolling Eyes

It seems average cost for a full day is approx. £200 with half days (am or pm) coming in at approx. £130.

Just an idea, it would look amazing seeing our thoroughbreds being treated to a good airing on an open, unrestricted circuit!! Shocked L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Open to suggestions really.......

All seem pretty good, Donnington, Silverstone, Brand Hatch............I guess the easiest would be to try and get something central (ish) to everyone. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Well, the choices seem to be endless!!!

All of the major circuits offer track days in some shape or form, but from website enquiry alone, some seem more geared up than others.

I guess the ultimate would be Silverstone as it is {currently} the home of the GP:

http://www.silverstone.co.uk/php/td_testdays.html

There are obviously plenty of others:

http://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/brands-hatch.htm

http://www.donington-park.co.uk/competitors/dates.asp

http://www.goodwood.co.uk/circuithire/

All seem pretty much on a par WRT costs. I guess it comes down to numbers and dates. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

I will without doubt be the slowest due to my added bits, but seems like fun. Goodwood would suit me. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Thumbs Up Goodwood does seem one of the better choices and quieter too. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

You are going to test the MG on an off road track?? Brave man Al Rolling with laughter
Knockhill has a great "on road" circuit too and dead easy even for most of those living way down in the south to get to.

Maybe we should have a "Scottish Wekend" instead of all these Salisbury Plain and Lake District runs! Plenty of great fast and traffic free roads up here too for those who want to try a spot of fast touring. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
