to be honest, leaning the fecker over in the corners might help :lol: :lol:


I'm thinking of trying an "instructed" track-day next year for a bit of confidence building in the corners, though in fairness the supercorsa's were worn right to the edges ........ years of geting progressively slower needs to be reversed :oops: :roll:

That said, spending some time on the suspension of the old nail might help :roll: :wink:

Well seeing as you ask lol :lol:

Then there was no point in a vote, you should have just said "right 1st june, whos coming". Because those who have voted 4 saturday may now feel like their opinon on SWB is worth nothing ... :wink:

Also, everyone says you would rather pay £55 and take a day off rather then pay £100, would you not lose more then £45 by taking the day(Friday) off, cause i would! unless your taking holiday of corse!

Again, ignore me if u like (speedy will :roll: :lol: )

just a couple of questions,

1. how long does it take to get there from plymouth ?

2.. how does the day work seeing as we have booked the track, is it split into the usual groups or is it an open pit lane ? (open pit lane would be good if numbers are ok)

3. after a big off at mallory last year i made use of the on site medical centre and paramedics :oops: , what sort of setup do they have there ?

cheers :)

Your Answers.

1. Depends on how fast you drive :lol: It is 165 miles from Plowmouth and should take no more than 2.5 hours, even with trailer on.

2. There are 3 groups for the day, the usual, Novice, Inters and Advance. Each group will have approximately 7 x 15 min sessions, with an hour for lunch and a 15 min break mid afternoon.

3. We would not dream of doing the track-day without professional medical cover, we pay extra for 2 x paramedics and an ambulance, which is always on-site right next to the track.

Llandow is very very well run, they wont take any $hit from anyone, if you are being dangerous in any way - OFF YOU GO.

Hope this answers all your questions, all necessary details will follow anyways.

Ditto... Think about it guys, doesn't a day off cost more than the extra cost of a saturday booking... :?

Thanks for that, sounds very good. For what its worth imo the friday is a good option as i dont think i would spend £100 on a day at Llandow , £100 would get you a day at mallory or cadwell so the friday and £50 gets my vote
