Like Weeksey said, first time to Cadders and a number of problems did present themselves, this is a new product (unlike track days) and each circuit has to be approached differently and on this occasion we got it wrong (I suspect we will have other problems at other new circuits as well). Next time we will change it to resolve these. This event was not a good representation of PACE but by the time we have done Cadders a few times I am sure we will iron the problems out specific to that circuit. (Or we won’t use it again).

We hire the transponders for £10.00 to cover there possible loss or damage (£220 each to replace), the other five pounds was for the bracket which you could keep, if you didn't want to buy the bracket then you were loaned one. It also says you do not have to pay £10.00 if you bring a £200.00 cash deposit which is returned when the transponder is handed back (we can’t do credit cards at Cadwell as there is no signal for the machine) or bring your own, so you were given a choice, you didn’t have to pay ten pounds and you didn’t have to buy the bracket.

The purpose of the membership is not £15.00 to get your lap times, it is £15.00 to become a member of the club (for a calendar year) of which one of the benefits is seeing your lap times + the bonus of no safety briefings, cheap Pirelli tyres, discounts on events and trade prices on goods from our sponsors). If you bought just one set of Pirelli tyres you will have saved 3 times the membership fee and new sponsors are joining as we speak. (Brake pads have just come at less 35% from list and full titanium systems for £750.00). Like I said at the briefing, we are not trying to get fifteen quid out of you for the sake of it.

Sorry you didn’t like it.
