Please show interest by provisionally booking ASAP. Payment will need to be confirmed by end August (pref sooner though). PM me for voucher codes when you're ready to make a payment.

Just to clarify; if me and me mate Dave wanted to come in one car, on the beginner track, it would cost us £99 between us (+ the inevitable damage to my car)?

£195 is top money in October for Anglesey - that's Donnington/Oulton money. They may have spent some money on the place but it's still in the middle of nowhere & it's not one of the 'premier' venues (imo).
If we want to run club track days why doesn't someone organise it - it would be a damn sight cheaper - take out the profit.
I am a member of MLR - I don't have an Evo they just organise very good reasonable cost track days.
All imho of course. :wink:

£195 is listed for the Sunday on the International GP layout, but with one of my vouchers we bring that price down to £175 :thumleft:

Who are you getting a full day OPL at Donington/Oulton for £195 with outside of November - March?

Monday, 31 August Mondello Park Full circuit Open Pitlane, 105 db £169.00

Various organisers in there - & that's august not october & there's only a few in there over £200.
The point was though that around £200 is top of the market - if I'm shelling out that much i want to go to a top venue. Of course you can argue that Anglesey is that but it's still the back of beyond.
And the main point - if we want club track days we should organise them ourselves.

I am not sure organising the track days is a viable option.
I have looked at this before and many venues demand a minimum fee to host. This is a massive risk for the club as all the costs would have to be paid and the club held responsible if the minimum amount of cars could not be filled.

I looked at arranging an exclusive MR2 trackday at Woodbridge last year with Javelin and this is exactly what they wanted. Payment up front, and then its up to us to fill the day!

Garrick is arranging our MR2 day, but by using Bookatrack, it removes some if not all of the liability if we cant fill the day. They will just open it up to others.
