Floppy

I have been looking into going to Abingdon in Oxfordshire to do an airfield track day as it looks good fun and has plenty of run off with not a lot to hit being on an airfield. It's also a good way to get a taster before actually venturing out onto a real track.

I was wondering if anyone fancies coming along as it would be great to get a group of us going.

Towing eye (only 1 required)

Basic tools (12mm, 14mm, 17mm sockets and ratchet/spanners)

I should be up for this, I've heard its a fun track and would like to do an airfield day in the S this year

'stuck it in my Calendar and will book it up in a couple of months if it looks like I'm definitely available then.

It's a fun track and Motorsport-Events do very well run days. Great for trackday beginners.

An hour's instruction at £50 is money very well spent too.

Floppy

I didn't realise this was an option...definitely sounds like a great idea! Thanks LG

lovegroova

All on http://www.motorsport-events.co.uk/ you can book instruction etc as part of the package. Actually it's £60 but still great value for money.

Hook me up!! I need to get the chavmobile out much more this year, and these are bloody great value!

Alex, let's see if Ed and Natasha could do us a deal if we get a number of S2000's - we could then support it through S2KUK and could get it emailed out too

spacyuk

im interested, sounds like the perfect place for a novice

Floppy

Great Plan Ian! Who are Ed and Natasha?

Is this something you are able to look into or do you want me to do it? If you give me the details I can fire off an e-mail if you like?

Suppose I better renew my membership this month...

lovegroova

Ed and Natasha Moore are the guys who run Motorsport Events. If you contact them, you'll probably end up communicating with Natasha. trackdays@motorsport-events.com or call 0844 873 6075

In my experience, they are unlikely to offer a discount on the day (as they are already very cheap) but you might get a deal on the instruction.

I might well tag along to this as I'm off work that day anyway.

Out of interest do you need to specify a car/reg when booking or is it just a case of book & turn up in whatever car?
