TRACK DAY- INTERESTED?

[vaughn]

i know hurdy looked at something at bruntingthorpe for earlier this year. but my partners cousin works at bedford autodrome and may be able to sort a package out if there`s enough interest, would just like to know that if your interested what you would be looking to do i.e just laps, timed laps etc how much you would like to pay? how many people? mark specific or open to all marks of gti? what day weekday or weekend?
just general interest and comments would be great so i can start getting some figures worked out if enough interest

[Hurdy]

Yup, Interested, dependant on prices and dates.

Originally we were looking at 0-60, 0-100 and 1/4mile and 1/2 mile runs with possible top speed runs too. Along with some kind of timed handling stage.

The prices ended up being a little on the daft side though for the places that could accomodate us. For those that couldn't accomodate us - the list was loooonnnnng!

I'd be well up for it, but I'd be in the RS, so you'd have to allow the four rings too! 

Don't they do more "formal" high performance training at Bedford - as that might be more useful than just thrashing around a lap, or blasting up a quarter mile straight.

I would personally say a definate "no" to any timing though, as that can lead to over competitiveness. 

Times/days for me are easy, so I'll go with what is best for the others.

I'm always up for a track day, driven @ Bedford a few time the full circuit is about 4 miles long and very fast but I think they can divide it up into 2 or 3 smaller circuits, all have good run of areas and fairly safe as their are no barriers to protect spectators.

I think most track day circuit's dont allow timed laps as this invalidates their insurance.

how comes just in the mk5 section?

I would be interested. Did a uni one at curborugh sprint circuit, pretty central, nice track and being a sprint means you get plenty of short laps without cooking your brakes hammering around in 20minute bursts etc
