Fab, if a space hasn't come up by the time it comes round & you want to go, drop me a PM and you can have mine - I might've beaten you on the email but you've obviously been after a place for longer!

No worries. As couldn't get on this day, I booked one for Friday 20th! Now doing both :) Thankfully the car came with original wheels and tyres, loads of tread left, so can fit them for the two days.

I might be pulling out of this.... Just think it's a bit of a waste of rubber... Might just miss the high speed corner out! What is the activity on the sprint circuit?

Well Carlimits called me couple of days ago as someone has dropped out, leaving me a space. Asked me to create an account then call them back to sort out swapping me into the space Called back few hours later but the woman I needed to talk to had gone home. My number taken, told I'd be called back. Called back next morning, no reply. Called back that afternoon, the instructor answered and couldn't help me, my number taken, told I'd be called back. Called this morning, no reply. If there is access for spectating, I might shoot up on the day if weather is good, but don't want to go so badly I'm going to chase a company to sell me something!

just noticed on the LOT site that the north weald days they are running over the winter are going to be, the two small circuits in the morning and the larger sprint circuit in the afternoon. Personally I would prefer this, to doing the high speed tyre shredder....... wondered how others felt and whether we could ask for this format instead???

Suits me. I'm doing the LOT dy there on 20th but that saying will have high speed bend. Think once in 10 days is enough.

:yeahthat:


:yeahthat:

When I did the full day I pretty much ruined all four tyres although I did spin perhaps a dozen times 'finding' the limit :wacko:

Need a new pair of rears for the activity day as they are down to the limit. Don't really want to ruin those ones too!
