Donnington Park

by **POESY** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:09 am

Trackdays.co.uk have a good date coming up at Donnington Park on Friday 10th October.

Its Â£145 for the full day, open pit lane.

However, the good bit is that its the full GP circuit, not just the usual national circuit.

Noise limit is 98db.

Maybe see some of you there.

hi mate, it says it's group sessions on the website?

by **POESY** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:28 am

Looks like your right - Intermediate for me I recon.

Hi,

I would check this date very carefully as we are racing at Donington on the 11/12th as part of the British GT/F3 weekend so as per a normal race weekend format we will be expecting to test there on the Friday. That is unless they are going to do something strange with our timetable anyway!

List at the moment:

1. Adrian - Lotus Exige

2. POESY - Renault Megane

3. Steve - Nissan Pulsar

4. Fraz - Rocky

If anyone else is interested please let us know. We use trackdays.co.uk quite regular and as such can often get a small discount if booking more than 5 cars.

hmmm

Is that noise limit static or drive by? If I know I can pass the noise test I'll probably join....

by **POESY** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 8:18 am

They did a static test at snetterton. Not sure if its the same at donnington?

by **danr55** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 8:53 am

I will call the circuit and find out

by **danr55** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 9:04 am

It's drive by, which they say equates to 101 static.

Will phone the babysitters

Nice one, be good if you can make it.

BTW dont worry too much about bhp - trackdays are all about good brakes and tyres, you dont really make up much time down the straights.

Looks like there is no excuse for you now dan - i'm going to speak to huss at RAF Marham this weekend and see if he's up for it. He'll have to remove the screamer pipe to pass the noise test though!!

I will be taking it easy as i am a trackday virgin "And i aint a very good driver"

I have some brakes and coilovers on the boat coming from japan as we type so they should be on the car by then. thinking about getting some 888's aswell.

Was it your WR1 in enginetuner, it has darker ppf7's aswell ?

by **p060064h** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 9:10 pm

yep that was mine what you think of the wheels ?

by **WR 1mposter** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:45 pm

Did your 1 belong to robbo ?
He had slightly darker wheels too on his 1.
If not who done them ?

Mac 1 has his wheels darker aswell, so your not alone.

There certainly different, an no doubt they would be the nuts if the car came originally with that colour, it's a yes an no really.
Ours need a refurb so will look at some colour options.

Thanks matey, there not to far away from us

by **p060064h** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 5:58 pm

No probs he has a book of all the colours you can think of and more its hard making a decision :lol:

Tell him i said told you about him and i said it was Â£40 each because i think he charges more normaly.
He also sorted a big chip out that a pressure washer had done when i gave it a lazy wash. looks good as new and only charged my Â£20.

by **danr55** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 1:07 pm

are you guys doing this and booked yet Neil?

Hi Dan,

I'm already booked and confirmed, although Rocky is still poorly sick at the moment. The turbo is with Owen Developments as we speak and should be sorted by the end of this week (hopefully) with a full metal cage for the roller bearings. Once re-fitted we'll be ready to PARTY! :twisted:

Tom will be driving Rocky too, as an extra driver, as we want him to get some seat time before racing over the following couple of days. So, there will be a bunch of us there. DO IT!!!

by **POESY** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:23 am

Adrian cant make it unfortunately, but the smurf has taken his place

and Steve and I will be there also.

by **WR1 Bro** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:32 am

Are spectators welcome?
