Track day

Postby MinorMatt » Tue Aug 11, 2015 3:42 pm

Serious question

Who would be interested in a transit track day some time next year?

It would (hopefully) be somewhere fairly central in the country (currently thinking Rockingham in Northamptonshire).

If we tag on to an organised track day it will be around £200, if we wanted our own day then it would be more.

Just gaugeing interest at the moment...

Thanks

IMO it's too open for something as slow as a Transit, you need something with shorter straights. Mallory Park would be ideal if they're still doing trackdays.

I suspect Rockingham will cancel itself on a cost basis too, nothing about it can be called cheap.
