Mine arrived today as well, not doing practice day though, i think if they do practice days they should be cheaper and keep it to only those racing that weekend.

There's a track day on wed for ~£135 but add on 6 hrs of driving and the fri practice is a better deal.

7x20 mins for £165 vs 2x8 (19mins?) laps and 15min qualy for £200, doesn't sound such a rip off put like that.:rolleyes:

I don't know the circuit so will be heading up thurs evening, might have the track to myself.... so normal backmarker conditions then :lol:

See you all there. Not racing but two nights booked in a hotel to come and cheer you all on.
Be nice to watch a DD race after 3 yrs.
Get your kettles on...

This is from the Terms and Conditions at Hottrax, would be a better deal as long as groups aren't full, plus afternoon 1/2 day is 4 sessions.
"Half Day Bookings
All half day bookings will be charged at 60% of the published price - half days are not pre-bookable and can only be booked on the day and are subject to availability."

you lot spend too much time worrying about stuff, at the begining of the year, as soon as the entry forms arrived I filled them all in and sent them off for the whole year,,,,, I didn't even look at what groups were doing what or how much individual days cost compaired to other days, I just worked out the year total and found it acceptable?

i'll be at the test day,,,, enjoying myself, not worrying at all about how much it might have cost.

awesome :frog:

Yep I'm doing it, as it's the last one of the season. My first year at racing and it's been brilliant, but how do you cope without a race every couple of weeks? Perhaps some wild ,mad skiing trips ? ;)

This year will be worse that last... a run-in with 3 race weekends in 4 weeks has been a bit crazy. I found at first last year it was a nice break, but come Feb I was dying to get back out again.
