What happend was they didn't account for the instructors bikes being included in the circuit maximum... kinda basic if you ask me... but I'm not complaining too much as they were able to fix me up with a replacement session.

I had a whale of a time leading (wahey!!) the fast inters through the back of the circuit for 4 or 5 laps and would thoroughly recommend Apex to anybody looking for a well organised trackday with plenty of track time and the added bonuses of an included lunch which forces your mind to take a break as well as your body! There were also lectures on track craft if you wanted to attend, no compulsion but it's an added benefit. The instructor for the fast inters decided we all "knew it" and just asked us what we wanted rather than keeping it structured, but it was his first time and, give them all their due, they were easy to talk to and knowledgable.
I thought it was a vast improvement over the few non-club trackdays I've been able to attend lately. Gary and Catherine have got the ingredients about right and just need a little more experience. Well done Whele, hope to see you on your Indy day, I'll be back mate

Just forgot to add my thanks to the suspension chappie, just a few clicks less rebound on Monica's rear end and she's even more manageable in the twisties

I'm with Psychlist on this one, cos I too had a whale of a time.

I'm sooooooo glad I went for Novices as oppossed to Inters as there were no red flags on any of my sessions and I seemed to get tons of track time. I went for Inters as it was my first time at Brands and it gave plenty of time to read and learn the track.

My mileometer read 67 miles at the end of the day so I reckon I got 25 laps in over four sessions, whats that then 7 quid a lap, or 2.5 quid a mile - bloody good value.

The whole thing was well organised - seeing everyone was great, as usual, the banter etc was all on for.

Only one criticism really - Gary, Catherine -

Pink T Shirts

Noooooooo!

So 1998 !!

Can't be bothered to read all of the post, so I don't know if this has been said. But in the briefing it was said that they would ty to continue under a yellow flag nut if peeps persist in speeding whilst under a yellow the marshalls will red flag the session. Who can blame them with some of the idiots out there.

Got to say I enjoyed the day, the ST4S wasn't disgraced-in the fast group-but the TZ would have been lots more fun-for me at least. There were quite a few heroes/racers in the fast group who thought it was an ACU test day(not any of the DesmoDue'rs though) so there was some fairly dodgy close passing-didn't worry me but might of some others. Not really neccessary on a track day, but ho hum that's track riding-it was mainly the same heroes who were throwing themselves into the gravel..................

the GP is great track , get second place in my favorite UK tracks after Donington...
After reading the post above, I guess I was lucky to be in the novice session..as we almost never got red flags...

Good organization and the rest, but whay I enjoyed the most was be on a track with some people I knew... It was a great turn out of Dukes and duke owners from the DSC.... I am so sad that I will not be able to join most of you in Cadwell as I will be suntanning my a... on a beach in Tuscany.

.. and by the way.. I still have to understand how to approach clearways in the GP circuit!!!!!!!!!!!

Good day and great to meet you
