trackerjack Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well being as Silverstone was not to be :'( the swarm decided to pick an event that we could do instead. The place is Colerne which is very near to Castle Combe in Wiltshire and it is an airfield circuit so it is ideal for a newbie cos if you get it wrong its only grass. The normal cars that turn up tend to be very well driven and the organisers are very pleasant but firm (they sent a Maserati driver home when he was too bullish.Mad Mart, Robin Eames and Diane and I have already signed up and would love to have the company of any other Triumphs OWHY.So its a Sat (these tend to be fully booked quickly) the price is £119 and after the first session is run as open pitlane. Here is the Email address of the friendly company that run it.trackdays@motorsport-events.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Mart Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Skooby6, if you haven't done a track day before this is one of the better tracks to learn on. There's plenty of grip & loads of run-off on to grass (no barriers). Also I think if we get 10 or more cars on track we can have free instruction (I'd have to confirm that)."Motorsport Events" wrote: But I have no experience.No problem, your experience level is not important and we are very keen to welcome new track day drivers to our fold. There is no need to be nervous or worried that you feel you may be too slow, as all our events are run very professionally and tracks are not overcrowded. We ensure all drivers make room for each other and as there is always lots of track time, being held up for a lap is not important. This means even our fastest drivers are always patient and courteous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyV Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've done a Motorsports-events trackday (at Keevil airfield) and can vouch for them in that the days are well organised, tracks well laid out and all good fun.CheersAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
