Yes, Rouge is going and maybe Rowland too (he needs rear tyres).

I may pop down and say hello! :D

(Mind you I wouldn't mind having another go, assuming my car is fixed by then! :wink: )

I'm 50/50 at the moment on making Donington on Sunday.
My rear tyres need replacing and my brake pads all round are shot to bits.
If I can get a set of Carbotech pads and new rear tyres fitted by Saturday, I'll be there.
Not sure about Patrick from Rogue though. I think he *may* be struggling to make it too.

What groups will people be in?

Novice for me. 8-[

First time I've been on track with this car - and only other time was a couple of sprint days in my old MG Midget. Will be getting my name down for some tuition on the day!

I'm going to book for Sunday but I'm struggling for a working link!!

www.trackdays.co.uk are showing a £99 track day for Donington this Sunday, although last time I'm sure I went with trakzone?
But this link seems dead? http://www.donington-park.co.uk/trakzone/
I'm really keen to secure my place ASAP so if anyone can help I'd be grateful!

Trackdays is a trackday reseller so it'd be worth giving them a call as they're just reselling the trackzone day.

Donnys website was down yesterday too as i tried to see if there were any places left :(

I kinda clicked 'book' on the trackdays website, but couldn't see an option to add another driver for £20 like the trakzone website.
As you said it might be worth giving them a call.

Cheers matey.

No joy with trackday.co.uk's phone/holding service, so I rang Donington direct and booked myself in.
There number is 01332810048 - then option 0
I've booked myself into the intermediate session BTW.
When I spoke to Caroline at Donington Park she told me there were five places left in each session Jon.

All being well I'll be renting the Rogue race car 1 - Woot Woot!

Cars back together and apart from blowing coolant all over the engine bay (i forgot to tighten the radiator cap on and went for a thrash, woops) it seems to be working.

One more shakedown run then i'll book up tonight.
