Was that the day I was having the Gtr mapped? I can't believe it's that expensive now that's mad

Ian and I did some Brunters last year as part of a charity day for free. Had a great day as did all the passengers.

I'll be attending Hypermax V in September. Slightly frustrated it's the only date this year i'm not on Holiday but hey ho.
Missed all of them last year due to work/family commitments so going to lock Hypermax V in now.

You must be smoking something
£795 is more than DEstination Nurburging let alone what it gets you at Spa/Brands GP/Silverstone etc
I know there are 25 spaces at reduced price
But even at £250 I questioned the value of going fast in a straight line as it gets boring very quickly

Totally agree with HYFR.
If there was a VMAX day at the Bugatti test track I might be interested though

I didn't pay anywhere near that DK. I'd certainly not spend anywhere near £795 for any kind of track day, given as you say i can do 2 days at Spa with travel & almost the hotel costs for that kind of outlay. May do a DN next year as is something i fancy, although would prefer to do Scuderia again if outlaying that kind of ££.
This will likely be the last year i attend VMAX if the costs stay this high & i do prefer the broader challenge of corners.

I have a slot reserved from last year when I couldn't attend. I'm going to vmax stealth this year. If nothing else but to see some other nice cars

Likewise, booked & paid for the 1st Hypermax last year & then couldn't make any of the dates.
Really fancy some runs against the Evolve cars but can only make the last one this year, but locked the date in so should be there.

Just read the info on the above and it sounds elitist to me.
I can certainly afford £795, but that's a weekend at the Ring, staying in a 5 star Hotel in Cologne. I can max my car out on the 555 down hill on the way to the ring after filling up with ARAL 102 Octane.

It's only £500 for those who've attended before.

£500, sorry but I can max my car out for nothing down the old London rd near Cov before the M6 was built.
