Exclusive MR2 Track Day Weekender - 17/18 Oct

[Bender Unit]

hey Garrick, hoping to secure my place later this month. If your looking to up numbers a few ae86 owners I know might be interested in tagging along.

[System-G]

Cool

Let them know the crack or send them this way. If they book, PM me the names they have booked with on the BaT site and I'll send the vouchers back via you (if they don't register interest here).

[System-G]

We hav a fair few provisional bookings for the event

Come on peeps, lets get these confirmed. PM me when you need your codes

[jmachling]

Paid

[Scott Barton]

All paid...and it only cost me £17.28

£109 of BaT Credit (left over from yonks ago!)
£20 BaT Discount voucher. Cheers Garrick! (PM him for details)
Emptied out my PayPal account....
£17.28 via debit card

Ok....It really cost me £171 but it feels better that only £17 quid came from my bank account!

Went for a track instruction session and the pictures on a memory stick.

[System-G]

Nice one John & Scott

Jammy money moving there

[starmist]

Would it be ok for my dad to come in his RS4?

[kaiowas]

Will be confirming next week assuming the car comes through Woodbridge unscathed.

hey Mr G.. seems like you have been busy ehh!

Im very tempted to do this as well...Ive been to the Nur once and also done Bruntingthorpe which after a few laps became a bit borning.

Would you suggest the full Sunday jobbie for me?

[System-G]

Hey Fizz...

It's been a while hasn't it mate? Need a proper catch up

It's up to you whether you want to do the Saturday or the Sunday or both.

I personally enjoy the National (Sat) just as much as the International GP (Sun) layout - each for their own reasons. You can get higher speads on the International GP down the back straight making the entry into Rocket fairly challenging (esp at over 110mph )

However School corner on the National layout is also 100+mph turn in speed (if you get it right) which can be proper ballsey at that speed

The International GP is twice as long as the National so the over the course of a day, there will be more wear & tear to your car.

I can give a voucher to get a discount for Sat event and the Sunday event (only if you book the Sat as well). I don't have discount vouchers for Sunday only.

I really don't want to decide for you... but if it were me paying and I wanted a full weekend, I'd do both

Wait... I am doing both
My name won't be down on the confirmed list as we are staff and will be working both days, but will still get plenty of track time in

I'm glad I've booked some tuition. Hopefully the guy is a little more informative about what to do when you spin off than the last (non-BaT) one

[System-G]

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with the instructor you had on that event.

All the BaT instructors are very well vetted, tried & tested. They won't push you if they can see you're not capable. Each instructor has their own style.
I had instruction by most of them and each time I have learned or improved on something

Thats good to know. Heaven knows i need it!

[System-G]

Hi guys,

Members who have showed an interest really need to get paid up before we loose the format of what is planned.

If you know novices from any car club that may be interested, send them my way or to trhe forum to show interest

I have emailed for accommodation, but still need an idea on who needs accomodation. Please let me know ASAP whether you'd need a single (and if a shared twin will be OK) or double (if you'll have a partner with you).

I see some names on the list that haven't contacted me for vouchers. you'll need them to get your discounts

I have posted on a couple of other forums now trying to keep similar power/weight ratios etc... offering the same discounts. So if you know anyone that may want to join us, please let them know to contact me for vouchers (systymg @T gmail.com)

Edit to update list (I think I got it right now!)

[jmachling]

Oi! I've paid for Sunday too! [/list]

[System-G]

Yikes!

Sorry John, I missed it probably because your driving a TBA on Sunday

Post edited

Edit - I also missed Hydar off

Should be sorted now

[jmachling]

Yeah, I thought I'd bring the TBA on Sunday...bit better in the corners than the MR2

I'll go and update the BaT site if I can

Edit - Done Can I lose the (Prov) now? Ta

[jmachling]

I'd suggest PMing the Provisionals directly - it's a faff but they may not have looked at this page in a bit so may not have got your update.

[Quigonjay]

is it going to be at all possible to do the club circuit in the morning and the national in the afternoon without having to pay two full fees?
think i would get bored driving club all day
cheers
Jay

[System-G]

It is possible Jay. Although there may be a small charge for the upgrade (but not the whole fee). It's also subject to numbers confirmed onto the National Circuit.

Even though on paper the Club layout looks very simple, I think it's still quite a challenge to do it properly.

As it stands if everyone who has booked provisionaly were to pay up now, then there would be a shortage of spaces! (this includes MR2 interest as well as others).

There are still a number of places on the Club layout. We need a minimum of 10 (in total) to run the layout.

Posts have gone up on other forums too offering a similar deal as pickup was too slow on the MR2 forums. Expect even more bookings soon.

So MR2 club members get paid up ASAP to avoid dissapointment
