In that sort of area I seem to remember The Charade Circuit (also known as Circuit Louis Rosier and Circuit Clermont-Ferrand) being good fun? Used to host the French GP a long time ago as well I think.

This year we had August and many people gave yearly holiday as excuse.

Let's not forget August is middle of the school holidays.

Plus, I just spoke to the guy who's organising the day on 14-4 and he said when he looked for trackdays in July-August, everything was already packed :?

September no good ?

Let's stick to August. If we confuse the dates people will just lose interest. I thin most would be happy with just the Ring, if we have another trackday as an optional extra, then that's a bonus. Weekend of 8/th 9th August.

Would love to join you all for a weekend of merriment. Will need to clear it with the family and hope there's no clash with racing commitments.

Depends on work and the car.

I am not a fan of the Ring. It's pretty boring unless you've gone around numerous times so you start to know it.
An extended weekend out in Belgium with a drive on the Ring I'd consider. Just a drive to the Ring and back on two days... don't think so.

Bro - i dont really feel like the slating right now tbh, maybe later, kinda sensitive these days for some reason :lol:

dan - excellent fella, i was nearly going to try and latch on to the lotus boys trip, but much rather do it with the wr1oc.
You fancy bedford GT circuit on the 11th may? £119, open pit lane - was going to start a thread cos a few of our usual crew are up for this one.

8-9 August is still free and would not clash with any possible racing commitment.

Poesy, 11 May would clash with the Spa round of British GT which is the most likely championship we will run in if we find a budget in time. Hence neither Fraser or I are up for Bedford.

Yes, if I go to the ring again, it's to take the Merc with the caravan around though :mrgreen:

July and August don't work for me, I'm afraid.

As said earlier, happy to do any trackday outside the main school holidays.

Will know more after this weekend about Bedford. need to see how the car performs on track this saturday. Possible I will choose to run some mineral oil through the engine for 1-2k miles, and with the mileage I do at the moment that could take a while and wont be able to track it till it returns to fully synth. will let you know more next week. In theory sounds good though!
