Can't believe we didn't make the cut for an exclusive day, with a minimum of 8 I was so sure we would.

Looks like most of the drivers on this forum are already experts and know everything there is to know about driving :roll:

I'm tempted but the only time I've blasted up to Birmingham was for a "serious" lads night out, not sure that track day would be as much fun, ;-). Though I could do with burning off the Contis to get some PS2s.

Besides too fecking busy with work to have time off at the mo, grrrr.

those that are going are in for a great day. Again the wet driving tuition was particularly rewarding. Here's some pics of me trying to keep my car under control!

No, no M5's on the list.

Have you dropped out Woody? If not please check your booking.

D'oh... 31sst of May... I could possibly make that. I just skimmed through the post and say 27th april and so laughed it off thinking that was the date. I was wondering why there were no raving reviews about a great day from any of you. I am going to have to look at my calendar and try sort something out. I am excited now... could do wiht some new suspension first.

Just caught onto this thread... Am interested, although seem to have 'missed' the date. Are there any places left?

How much for the day - still £280 per car?

Cheers

Places left, and I believe Carolyn is still honouring the RS246.com price if you mark your application respectivley.

The cut off date was to keep the event RS246 exclusive, which it now isn't but we will have a majority.

Apart from forum guests I believe there is only one other taker so far - someone with an Arial Atom. And some water prroofs I hope!

I'd love to do this Driver Development Program but my car will be at MRC. . .

Anyway after speaking to GrahamS4 who loves having his photo taken, I've agreed to take photos for the forum members who are driving this event.

I plan to charge £15 for upto ten photos of you and your car, if you're interested in having a set please PM me so I can plan the day.

Probably a problem unless you are the paid up guest of someone else attending (advance notice required). The Prodirve Testing Ground is a secure site. I believe on entry we will have to group in a compund and be escorted in.

I think that is a fair and sqaure offer. Take a look at Peakz pictures on flickr for a taste. For some perspective I paid £21 for 4 images from the start line at Santa Pod and I'm told for event photography that was not too expensive either.

The charge is for the full resolution images isn't it?

I'm in Paz.

Cheers Graham :)
