well dont know about any 1 else but im well up for some track action!, cadwell park is about half hour drive from me, and what a track yours to hire including marshalls, plus a little tip for the st john ambulance dudes, for about ?1800 for the day, work it out get 20 members say to round it off for tip for st johns about ?100 all in! dont know what track prices are like any where else, but this is roughly what they are round here!, went round cadwell for a few laps in a yuk yuk vauxhall astra turbo, car not all that but track awesome! any one else up for a bit of track fun?
-
so tell me im not the only 1 interested in thrappin me golfs round a race track!
-
Where were you when I suggested it 2 months ago???
Nobody answered me either, I think this lot would rather polish em than drive em!
-
I'm in
;D
-
As long as no-one brings a French car ;) :D
-
every where I go - its you and the anti-french campaign......well done, keep it up son
-
No worries mate, anything is better than a French car even a mk1 8v :-*
-
We must unite against the enemy ;)
-
threaten to invade.. i have it on good authority they'll surrender ;)
-
I'm in! It's the main reason I brought a golf.
If there is enough serious interest about doing this I could possibly get something organised as I am on very good terms with the Evo Active guys. What they can also offer is beginners groups, instruction etc. Not sure if anybody has been on one of their days but they are well organised and considering some of the exotica being driven, remakeably not up their own arses when somebody in a golf turns up (probably because they all seemed to have owned one in the past) that costs less then their insurance premium!
-
I'd be up for it, could show GolfVR6 how to really drive... ;)
-
What in that thing? :-*
-
I'm in. I can try out me new car!!
-
Need a gearbox first mate. :P

If anybody did bring a French car, they would whoop your asses!

My 1.1 AX, which gladly caught fire enabling me to buy a Mk 3 GTI, would not have whooped any arse!!
-
Good point ,but ideally it would be one with over 40bhp!
-
hey bring what ya want, im gonna pop down to cadwell on saturday as theres a bike trackday on and im taking me kids to watch, gonna have a word with the top dudes there and find out all the up to date costs etc, then post em on here and see how many people are up for it
-
I'd be up for this ;D
Theres a lot of cheap track days in November and December coming up at Donongton,if you arrive for the afternoon,you can often get on for ?40 and have four hours driving.
Cheers Martin
-
yeah donnington would be fun try and find out some pricing detail??????????
-

It actually had 55 horses pumping out!!! ;)
-
Ther is a track day at Donnington on 2 Nov. I think there will be an assortment of cars there so may be worth a look.
-
I'd love to take my mk2 round a track, i've been looking at doing it for a while but it was hard to find a VW only type day
-
yep were gonna have to sort a VW only day at a central circuit where we can all access, did nt manage to get on saturday, but will get some prices this week! im not a moderator on trackdays and motorsport pages so i dont think i can start a poll! if i could we could se how much interest we can get, 40+ members to do a trackday would be really good and would bring the price per person down by a large amount!
-
The Pug lads will be up for that.
-
The trakzone day on the 2nd at Donington is all booked up I think, lots of Golf's going mind you as ClubGTi have organised a day there.
Normal price is ?85 for the day.
-
would be good if we could have a GOLFGTI.CO.UK trackdays and guess what, vw's only! so any other 'lads' can go and sort there own club trackdays out!
-
VW only, cool 8)
-
yep vw only thats what were here for!
-
Kool Ideas you all have is there any danger of sortin it, before xmas????
Several of us in Basingstoke are lookin for a proper track action day, yes we all changing to VW's now! Bit of a bad luck with some french s#*t.
Will help to organise it, if you need it. ???
-
I'll try and have a word at the weekend and see the amount of cars we need to make it viable
-
yep we need central location that is where all can get to!, i think to be honest we should be deciding which tracks are suitable ie:location, cost etc and then getting on the blower to find what dates are available! ( i want a dry day!), then the next thing is payment! we have to really ensure the people that say they are going are going! cause if people back out those that are left are footing a larger bill!, right im not that clued up on where all these tracks are but what are we going to say is central? i would say some thing like donnington, even though the track id really like to hammer round is cadwell park!, i havent got time at the mo, if some one can reply with a list of central uk tracks and there locations ill bang it on a poll and see which one is voted the better track/location! think that would be a good starting point!
-
Sounds like fun. Never done a track day in a car. Just on bikes. :)
