Club Track Days

Is there any possibility of starting up some club run track days?  Likes of Oulton Park and Castle Combe would be great.  If Club GTI do it, then we can.  They do it for around 150 quid.

Castle Combe would be cool  8)

maybe one day my Mk1 will be running and handling good enough to corner   but would definately turn up to watch!

Perhaps SW and NW lot can settle there differences (joke) on the track?! I'd be up for that.  That's a direct challenge to the NW lot by the way  

Count me in (never done one though  ops: ). How about Curborough?

It would be good to have a mk1 only trackday, I'm sure our events chappie might have a thought or two!

We'd have to see what's involved and what the insurance stuff looks like, but in principle I'd support it, as long as it is on a good track (castle coomb or similar). Some of the smaller ones are glorified old airfields and the tarmac is a bit rough, leading to stone chips etc!!

We could do different sessions. Everyone, a slow cruise for show cars, GTIs only, Non-GTIs only etc…

Cheers,

Drew.

Best I add that to my 'To-Do' list then!!

Sounds great, I'll take a look and report back with possibilities :wink:

I would definitely be up for this! The North west would kick a$$! Bring it on.
NWM RULES

Oulton park would be my choice.

I don't know if anyone reads Evo magazine here?  
Evoactive track days look pretty good value for money. There are some contact details on here.

Nope Nope Sorry Nope (in a cornish tone)

I'm not with you on that one Phil…….

But "Yep, yep, yep!" (in a small dinosaur from "The land before time" type tone!)

I bet we would!

where's the fastest Mk1 in the country? Grant Parker with his Green 2.2 20v on NOS???

Is that the mettalic green one with massive arches? :dontknow:

I wonder if it corners?  :wink:

Is he even in the club….. ?

years ago i took my first mk1 on a Revs track day. it was at three sisters racetrack. nw terrory . not a fast track but brilliant for golf's .

that's the one! don't think he's in the club  :cry:

fair point about the cornering, but it must be the fastest

be good to see a track full of Mk1's… just make sure Keith's at the back and in a 1.1  

I wouldn't want to race him on the strip but I bet I could have him round the 3 sisters  

Nice little track that… plenty of 3 wheel action. :wink:

I was there too in a silver mk2 1.9 8v,  made a couple of pictures in the mag. One with the inside rear wheel off the ground 8)
very tight little track full of nice twist and turns
