Well done Gengs, I have done several track days with the easy track boys at Bruntingthorpe. Love it ! THe flat out 45Left is awesome. My 911 was pulling just over 100 round there.... 110mph as I approached the next 90 Right.... The 911 just stops so much better than most other things out there. I'd love to try a 914 on the track..... Great fun, glad you had fun.

it is good in he 914, you just don't have to worry about ever slowing down, just keep your right foot down and go up into 4th on the straight and turn the wheel every nopw and then

Track day at castle, sounds good to me, I will need to measure the car when I get in back together to see if I am under the 100 dB(A). Hope so as it would be a top day. 8)

It is a beautiful circuit with a couple of high speed corners, 2 medium speed ones and a couple of interesting chicanes. The straights are long enough to get a 911 up to about 120mph, but the whole track is fun in just about anything.

Count me in.

That is if I ever get these @8&@ing electrics sorted!

G3NGS - if you can lend me a hand (and whole lot of other tools) to get ship-shape for Bunting on the 4th - I'll show how bad I can really drive!
How hard can it be?

Post by Richard Armstrong »

I see some people are interested!

We need to set a date in May next year I have a spreadsheet with the available dates, and we need to book sometime early Sept
I can't figure out how to post a file on this site, so if you are interested email nme at richard@ritech-systems.com and I will mail you the small file to fill in.
The cost will be approx £120 + VAT, but may come down if we have more than 40 cars.

Waiting to hear!

The date is now set for Friday May 6th

"Detail
As previously stated, we are working on a minimum of 40 cars and the
cost will be £120 + VAT (sorry about the tax, can't be avoided).
We will need to collect a 30% deposit in November, and the balance in
Feb next year. We will put the money in a high(!) interest account and
any balance will be divied out on the day, or go to sarnies etc.

If we have more than 40 cars the price will go down accordingly.
If someone has to drop out and we have more than 40 cars then the total
will be refunded, if we have less and can't fill the slot then i'm
afraid you lose the money. That way it is fair on everyone else, the
cost will not end up being more than £120, and I won't get burned
either!
This is totally non profit making for Richard and I by the way, we're
doing it for the crack.

Sorry to harp on, but better that everyone is fully aware.

all sounds very fair and very reasonable

p.s. impmad at the fast left before the right 90 i found that as you approach the apex cone if you actually pull hard left as if you want to into the cone and over the drain that you can get an awful lot of drift :roll: though at that corner a twa t in a clio when demonstrating lift off o/s found out just how far he could spin out when he found himself under the plane!!!!!!!!!!!!
