[andybond]

Whooooooooooo ! Ill be coming.

Brigsy , can I join the Costa Del Redcar Convoy ?

[D4WNO]

Looking forward to it! Whats the crack with the name change?


There were a few reasons. "National Day", although has been with us for a long time, only means something to the older members. We want to attract new members to keep the club going well into the future.

Also, it's been associated with R5's, we don't know why but that has stuck - so we've tried to gear it more towards ANY Renault Turbo (but of course all cars are welcome as always). It'd broader, we want to grow it and make everyone feel welcome to join in.

The "Festival" side of it you will see. This year we're focusing much more on the evening's entertainment, rather than the daytime alone. It'll be fun :D

[BluntyR5GTT]

i think its a good shout on the name change, maybe we could sneak rtoc in the title somewhere though?

I'm going to have to let the cat out the bag:

We are the the Renault Turbo Owners Club and it's the Renaul Turbo UK Festival so we're there or there abouts ;)

[BluntyR5GTT]

We are the the Renault Turbo Owners Club and it's the Renaul Turbo UK Festival so we're there or there abouts ;)

good point well made.

has the club given any thought on maybe having a mobile rolling road at the event ? always seem to go down well at other shows iv attended?

[D4WNO]

It's actually something we're looking into as we speak so we'll keep everyone updated once things have been finalised :agree:

Billy, that festival looks AMAZING, really wanna go! :D

[The new Bill J]

I remember us having a Thor hub dyno at one of the Santa Pod National Days (the one that featured on tv, with Mike Brewer). I can't remember how popular it was, but I remember Sparkie's phase 1 being revved to 9k, with a footwell full of spare belts :laugh:

[Big Steve - Raider]

has the club given any thought on maybe having a mobile rolling road at the event ?

Blunty (OR ANY CLUB MEMBERS) If you know of someone in the North with a Mobile Rolling road, please let me know!? :niceone:

[Jimmy_GTT]

I'd like to take the 'farthest-attendee' award.
I'll travel from Budapest, Hungary.
Do not even know how far is it exactly. ;)

I'm not planning to drive on the track (I'll drive enough to get there) just would like to join the event and be able to park next to the other members.
Which ticket should I buy? I'll go with a friend.

[Sparkie]

Ave drove over from Hungary one year. - he had a red phase 1 gt turbo. i think he ran on the strip at santa pod too. :)

[Jimmy_GTT]

Ave drove over from Hungary one year. - he had a red phase 1 gt turbo. i think he ran on the strip at santa pod too. :)
I know him. He is living in Győr. It is 130km closer to UK. :)
(And I think Santa pod is also closer.)

[D4WNO]

That's awesome you're coming over from so far.

To answer your question, you just need the £10 entry tickets but you can buy those on the day if you prefer :agree:

[TNT ANDY]

Hi committee - I have friends who are non-members who do not own Renaults who would like to attend. I can see a link in the shop for non members entry + track time but the link does not work. Are non members still being permitted to attend?

[clee]

Yes , non members will be allowed to purchase tracktime at a higher price .We are not listing the tickets until the beginning of July though to give members chance to snap them all up first ;)
