Brands GP 4th July - £170!!!
 
Bumped into Gary and Catherine from Apex Trackdays earlier and they're doing the GP circuit for £199 - but read on. Also throw in lunch (and tuition if required). They offering 4 groups of 20 minutes which is most probably right on a circuit this long however you should still get a good few sessions in as its one of the longest days of the year.

They also have a good few dates elsewhere which are just prior to Desmo Due races - good opportunity to practice :eureka:

Gary and Catherine have been members of the DSC for some time and offer paid up club members the following discounts:

Book yourself on 5 of their trackdays and get the 6th free.

Book a group of 6 onto a trackday and get the 7th place free - at Brands GP that brings the price down to £170 each.
I'm going, who else is going to be there? :D

[b]Please remember this is not an official DSC track day and you will need to book direct with Apex. Because they are giving us this opportunity at 'cost' price they have to restrict the numbers to no more than 49 full DSC members at that price.[b]

... get outta here :P

Red Leader will make it 3 no doubt, that leaves 3 more :D

Dibble 03-Feb-2005 00:16

mw, rattler, desmondo & dave harris I reckon, as we need 4 more to make 7 at £170 each ...

Redruth 03-Feb-2005 00:18

Isn't that a bit pricey for a trackday. 2 weeks in Magaloof wouldn't set you back as much as that. Clearly, no one wants to spend 2 weeks in Magaloof but, all that same, I'd be waiting for bargains and jumping in last minute to book a cheap deal... cos frankly I don't thin it's gonna be oversubscribed! :o

TP 03-Feb-2005 00:19

I's cheap for Brands GP - they're around £250'ish in the full swing of summer.

I'd love to do it ... but don't think I can.

Dibble 03-Feb-2005 00:23

Brands GP last year was £265 ......

Rattler 03-Feb-2005 00:29

I'll check the calendar - I think that July is pretty free for trackdays / DD stuff - so might be up for it, might just stick to the Indy though and give the Monnie a tonking!!!

Redruth 03-Feb-2005 00:29

I'm sorry but Brands is HUGE. And frankly what is the advantage of spending all that money!!!!:puzzled:

You could book 2 days at Cadwell for the same dosh.

Call me old fashioned but I've ridden Brands GP and I really don't think it provides that fun and frolics of Cadwell.

Not unless it can be bought at a bargain price of, say £149.95. :roll::bouncy:

ericthered40 03-Feb-2005 00:33

GP
 
Best £170 you can spend with your clothes on
GP is a must do in the year
(wats that smell dinggle dell) Two from Essex please :cool:

No petrol bill there and back and no overnight stay as with cadwell cheap cheap cheap for an Essex boy
work out the same as I see it :frog:

Rattler 03-Feb-2005 00:38

Brands GP is a great circuit - pricey I agree, but its worth doing if you've not done it before and getting a sub-£200 price tag is worth taking if you've not sampled it.

Brands GP is a very fast and flowing circuit some mad 110mph + bends and well worth going if you can stump up the wonger. Similar I suppose to Donny and Oulton.

Cadwell is a very different track, great all the same, but suits a smaller, quicker turning bike - like a Monster!!!!!;);)

... why not take the Kawasaki and really let it fly? There's only 4 full noise GP trackdays at Brands this year ... and this is one of them :D

Loz 03-Feb-2005 07:56

Henry, sign me up if there's room! :sing:

Novices as it's my first time on the GP circuit :o

[Edited on 3-2-2005 by Loz]

dickieducati 03-Feb-2005 08:27

thats an absolute bargain, just going to negotiate with the missus (as its our annniversay) and hopefully will be on it too.

ruth, if you have already done the gp circuit on a bike surely you must be gagging to do it again. especially as its your 'local' circuit. its worth 2 of cadwell imho.

electricsheep 03-Feb-2005 08:53

Dickie, I though you would be at laguna arround then

dickieducati 03-Feb-2005 08:56

well that was the idea but at the moment the cupboard is bare. desmodue has seen to that!

electricsheep 03-Feb-2005 09:02

I know what you mean, JHP has all my money :o

I will be up for this, not sure if I should go novice or inters for this one.

Rob

dickieducati 03-Feb-2005 09:17

clearly not novice you'll wipe the floor with them!

DAVE HARRIS 03-Feb-2005 09:21

Henners 03-Feb-2005 09:42

OK folks ...
 
... remember this is not an official DSC track day and you will need to book direct with Apex. Spoken with Catherine this morning and because they are giving us this opportunity at 'cost' price they have to restrict the numbers to no more than 49 full DSC members.

Contact details: http://www.apextrackdays.co.uk/

Loz 03-Feb-2005 09:58

I'm booking my place for this at the weekend... are there six other DSCers who want to come in with me to take advantage of the 7th goes free offer?
Be quick!

:D

TP 03-Feb-2005 10:38

I'm having second thoughts about this, I'd love to do it.

Dickie, if you do it will it be on the Monster or the 999?

dickieducati 03-Feb-2005 10:48

999 for sure.

its an awesome track.

TP 03-Feb-2005 11:00

I might book this up today :D

And the others ...

dickieducati 03-Feb-2005 11:15

TP 03-Feb-2005 11:26

Priorities mate, priorities!

Red-leader 03-Feb-2005 13:13

DAVE HARRIS 03-Feb-2005 14:55

dave

Dibble 03-Feb-2005 15:30

Henners
Loz
Red Leader

Henners want to co-ordinate the best way of booking ???

Red-leader 03-Feb-2005 16:37

Henners is not about for a bit.
I will ring you Dibbs !

mw 03-Feb-2005 16:39

TP 03-Feb-2005 16:40

How about 14 :D

AK 03-Feb-2005 17:46

AK def wants in for this too!

Let me know which group of 7 to add him to!!!

I'll come along with the hoover to sweep up the bits!!!!:D

Dibble 03-Feb-2005 18:02

I have just spoken to Apex.

They WILL NOT accept 7 bookings at £170 each ... but WILL accept 6 at £199 then credit a free space.

Now that means we either

A: Find 6 of us to book at £199 then the 7th person has to reimburse each of the 6 with £28.35.

B: I will put 6 places on my credit card and dispense them to the first 6 people to pay me £170.

Option B is based on getting funds and commitment now though as i don't want this money hanging around on my credit card.

Anyone that wants my address or bank details and wants me to do this please say so now ......
