This sounds pretty fun - I've not done any track days and have only ridden on the roads...
Would your average road rider need anything other than a regular licence and a set of leathers to be able to attend?
Thanks

Did you say undertaking?

[webbyc]

Mav sounds great to be able to ride the ring without being buzzed by M3s, M5s Lotus Elises, GT3s etc etc. Might even learn the way round!!!

Depends when but looks good for me.

Yup i'm in Mav fella... sounds like a superb idea to me mate.

[swannymere]

I'll be up for it on my 749

[pibbow]

Count me in mav The sooner I know the date the better. I would post this on the Up North Forum I'm sure it would work.

Mav i am up for that and would probably take 6 places you know the crew.

Cheers

Mav interesting idea. Would you be able to hold a race or would it be a Time trial with staggered start?

Not sure roy untill I finalise details next week !
There are lots of things to discuss when we get around the table, one being that this would be an organised club event,
all I know at the moment is It's 99% i can hire The track ! Mega money for the day but when you divide it up by 100, and then include hotels etc etc It's well dooable....
They approached me so I think I have a shout on what we need and how we should do it to a point,,
you guys/galls can give me some ideas
I think personaly we could Mix DD races and Members (road bikes) up into 4 teams of say 25 and do some sort of endurance race!
I think that way all people would benifit from it! and as always
the fastest dont always win!!loL
waddaya think?

Not so Mad mav....

Is this including the GP loop?? Or just the nordshleife?? I would have thought a race of some sort would require a lot of red tape and legalities to be surmounted, Endurance in a regularity type format maybe as opposed to head to head? A lot of red mist could descend in a full on type of event with very broad knowledge/skill levels. What about the possibility of a wet event MMmmmm Risky. Loads of respect for you to contemplate this undertaking. Still you know the place better than most of us. Just out of interest do you know when the last Motorcycle race was held there?
