View Full Version : Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Dawn your alive :) fancy judging the show and shine this year with me and marky mark ;)
:eek: Haha!
Hi Paul. :)
I don't even have a car atm I'm afraid. I am considering about coming on one of the days (Blyton Sat or Pod Sun), in Carrie's Focus just for the craic. It will depend on whether she is running at any races that weekend and indeed if I can afford the petrol. I just went self-employed and am perennially skint :agree:
Just bought my track ticket.
That gives me 3 weekends to get the van roadworthy again. The gearbox i have to fit is of totally unknown quality so its a last min gamble. If all else fails the wifes megane may be used.

Now that's RTOC spirit! Although, Paul, if you do blow up I reckon there would be enough spares/hands available to have your engine rebuilt and up and running in no time ;)

RTOC spirit has never been lost, but like the old men that we now are, we just forget where we put the bloody thing:p
I know that well enough Alex, but I have tried and tried to blow her up.... only managed to bend pushrods at 9000rpm + once and also destroyed a standard clutch after it blew apart..oh, and went down craner curve backwards at 100mph+ and still lived on......she has 9 lives I'm sure..... the old girl needs to die gracefully, on track in a huge ball of firey grace... :devil: . thing is she keeps on going,,,,lol
if she die's in her natural state of FLAT OUT then I will be happy to let her rise from the ashes with a nice new engine from something nice.......;)
3 weeks :) well mot is now sorted out only failed on a split cv boot a tyre and me not filling up the screen wash. few more bits to sort out and hopfully all will be ok for me. is there going to be a northwest convoy.

Screen wash? Really. Fml
worded somthing like inadequate washer jets. at least it was a easy fix :laugh:
Paul, you're a top man, always have been :) and a belting track driver :burnrubber:
Perhaps the only issue with the Clio plan is that I used to be 3rd party on other cars until I sold the Beemer last month, now I'm just a named driver on the Focus so insurance would need sorting out too. So it will just be easier to come in the Focus bud :agree:

Sorry I don't know what you mean?
AS was mentioned earlier I think that sounds like the best way for your RR ticket, print off your shop / paypal receipt and take it with you. Only one or two people paid in advance for the RR. Blunty was going to organise all of it, payments, etc on the day. Alas, he's not going now so there's no-one to do it.

Hi Chris,
Yea I purchased my national day tickets on the 22nd of April?
Wondered why I hadn’t yet received them..
Here’s the receipt from Paypal
Regards
Stuart
So no one is doing it?
Stu, as mentioned it appears there's unlikely to be any tickets produced for ND unless someone has the time to buy and process them. My advice is as above - print your email. Hardly ideal, but thats where we're at :crap: I assume you still have your email?

Just hoping it will be suffice on the day.

Pod now use Ticketmaster to make and supply tickets. In order to have places at the club reserved parking space that Ross booked for us we have to buy these tickets from Pod. I am the one that buys them so they are sent to me and this time I'm sending them out.
The Blyton day is done by RTOC and this time there are no tickets. So nothing to buy, nothing to send.

ummmmkay!
I dont have original email - printed off my paypal receipt which totalled £57 (which included a tow eye cover)
Anyway, id paid for the RR too - just went into the club shop and noticed the RR tickets have been removed?
Going by this thread i take it its not due to over demand!
So can i ask please: does 'the club' have any record of me purchasing tickets - ND+2xCamping+RR?
And is the RR still going ahead?
I think this will be my first and last nd, had some fun in the car but I think it's going. Just can not justify having it, tax, insurance to drive it about 10 times a year.
Think I will be replacing her with a ktm rc8 :)

What's the score with track tickets and extra drivers???
All drivers need full ticket ,no second driver option .

Nice one Romil - thanks for that update, I'll be bringing my phone along with the emails on it. I have confidence that somebody in the club has a list of who has and who hasn't paid for what. Let me know if I can be of any help either now or on the day. I offer and have offered my services for 10 years now with no uptake.:smokin:
Mart - you think you've got the north / south bad, I'm North living in the east, and am personally confused as to where my loyaltys lie. FYI - you're defo a cock-a-nee, always have been always will be.
Everyone else - get on board, the RTOC Train will be leaving shortly.:)
Anyone up for a rave in a big shed,,,,,, I mean ****ing big shed.

We haven't arranged any disco this year in the barn.
It was felt that last year was not used enough to warrant the cost this year.

Apparently it was being used all day last year, maybe 40 cars. But so far this year only about 2 people bought advanced tickets.

The rolling road was busy last year because it was free.
Are RTOC members really so skint that £25 is too much to ask? It costs the club £1200 (£30 for 40 cars) so we're losing out at £25 even if it sells out.
okay, i'm sure i won't be joining you guys on this awesome weekend. funds and work commitments won't allow me to come.
maybe next year :)

Plus track or even entry Ian.
Dont think there is that much competition to prove whos car is doing what. Most of the lads who have tuned have a fair idea on what the car is running.
Good for bragging rights on a meet if its free .

If things work out and Eug and me manage to get my raider there buy some track time Bill, you can drive in my car :)
No 2nd / extra drivers allowed per car though so its full ticket price per person.

They're fussy as fook on spark plugs....wrong gaps or any non-gen ones cause issues quite a lot. Mine is a bit lumpy-hunty @ idle when it's cold too. Just an idea!

so, Trev, if you wanted a free run I can take you in the truck with me on friday night if your camping over ....
now, how to purchase all tickets without telling er indoors. :wasntme::wasntme::wasntme:
Well im hopeing to get my car sorted for this weekend fingers crossed its all sorted!! can you pay on the day?

Righty, I've purchased wristbands for Entry, Camping, Track time, and sent out many of the Entry and Camping ones today. :)
The rest who've paid so far will be sent out within a few days.
After that, further purchases from the RTOC shop I'll send with a couple of days.
I've compiled a list of who's paid for what so far.
Track time ones will be issued after the drivers briefing according to the list.
It would be a fair bit easier for those committee on the day if you buy in advance from the RTOC shop.

Received mine this morning, Thanks Ian ;)

Maybe a bit late in the day perhaps?! But I've been thinking along these lines too
Would there be an option to pay per lap perhaps?
I'm wanting to track my car, but really only a few laps, And im sure im not the only one? understand policing it, driver training,briefing etc etc etc......it my mind, I thought the track guys always had a rest session/s? - so assumed there'd be a few gaps throughout the day for the amateurs to hit the track.............just an idea!
And to add, if it was an option to do per lap - then I'd be more than willing to help out on the day to sort it:agree:
Received mine this morning, Thanks Ian ;)Hey, nice photo :) Saved me from doing it, was on my list of tasks, thanks :)

I spoke with Romil this morning,
I was asking whether it was permitted (or if you thought it'd be a good idea) that i bring my 9 year old son?
He came with me to Enfield Pag on the Saturday and begged to come back with me on the Sunday and enjoyed most of it though got a bit bored and just played his ds/psp but there will be driving at this one.
Romil suggested that if i did take him, to bring a lid.
Id' be happy to buy someone a few beers to take him round the track.
Who knows, i might even go round myself on the day..:scared:

I'd be quite happy to take him for a few laps Stu but we'll have to check blytons rules first. I know that to be a passenger at Cadwell park you have to be either 14 or 16.

Cheers mate! if you do, ill get you a few beers (after the drive) :D
I just phoned Blyton, they said there isn't an age restriction as such, but more so a height restriction.

Maybe a bit late in the day perhaps?! But I've been thinking along these lines too
Would there be an option to pay per lap perhaps?
I'm wanting to track my car, but really only a few laps, And im sure im not the only one? understand policing it, driver training,briefing etc etc etc......it my mind, I thought the track guys always had a rest session/s? - so assumed there'd be a few gaps throughout the day for the amateurs to hit the track.............just an idea!
And to add, if it was an option to do per lap - then I'd be more than willing to help out on the day to sort it:agree:
PPC do this every year - £20 for 15 minutes is great, the only problem they have is that there is such a huge demand for them that you have to be quick to get in. But generally 2x 15 minute sessions will be ok for most non hardcore racers. It's a very good idea.
As for additional drivers - £25 per additional driver @ Snetterton - another good call.

As I say Lee, TOTALLY understand the implications, it needs monitoring and timing etc etc etc........
But let's face it, it is a good idea, could potentially add some more money to the kitty!
Only issue I see, is as long as the people that have paid for the full track day aren't interfered with and it doesn't spoil or change anything for them then should it not be considered?
:agree: - :disagree:
Yes ,agree good idea but we need to point out to those not used to track rules that this is the case ;)

I got the impression that some people were thinking of making their minds up during the day and then perhaps have a few laps.
To lap this track then, it must be planned before the day and those lapping must be there at 8.30am or whenever the briefing is.

I have been offered a go in dans car. But obviously only one person can drive it at a time. I would happily buy a additional driver pass if the shop had one available.
I'm sure out of the rest of the cars on the field a few would let their friends have a go so you may be able to recoup some cash in that respect and it shouldn't tie the track up any more than usual as the car would otherwise be out there but with the owner not the additional driver.
I would need to know before the day though if this is at all possible please.

You have enough wrist bands. Main and or 2nd drivers can wear the same bands - it makes no odds.

No to the first question as currently we only plan for 4 x 15 minute session (no takers as yet). If you plan your rests/breaks correctly, you can avoid being on track when these said 15min session take place.
Yes in regards to the etiquette. When on track we are told to use our mirrors.
This give everyone a chance to give it a go and test their cars and/or driving skills. Also gives the hardcore a chance to have a break and will not intimidate the newbies. I'm not saying they can't go out on track (the hardcore) but there will be some etiquette in place. for example, 11am session: I will go out at 10:45 for 15mins and rest the car from 11am for 15mins. I don't want to be held up at every corner/up someone's arse on a straight nor do I want to be scaring someone has not done this before or is worried about their car.
Also, the take up for Track Day passes has been slow this year, 24 at the last count. I very much doubt this will have an impact. Can we start a list if your "thinking" about taking up one or more of these 15 min session? If yes, how many? Thanks
So is what happened last year that TAOL gave a different wristband to passengers who'd signed the indemnity form?
We could get two more wrist bands. Say 20 of each. Or 10 perhaps. Passengers and 2nd drivers.

How does it work with paying on the day.
Does one pay £15 entry at the gate then upgrade for another £70 at the briefing for track time?
It might be easier for the organisers on the day if as many as could paid in advance from the RTOC shop I think.

Options:
Entry = £15
Entry+Track = £85
Additional Driver = £25 (you must have an Entry Ticket)
Track time = £20 per session.
To get into the grounds, you must have an entry ticket. Once on the ground, you can purchase the Additional Driver pass, assuming the car you are driving already has a Track pass (or you can buy track time).
All Drivers on the track must have a Drivers Wristband. You can only obtain a Drivers Wristband by attending the Drivers Briefing in the morning. My advice, if you are thinking of driving, attend the Drivers Briefing in the morning, so if you change your mind and want to drive, you have any issues with
Nick - Great idea about the letter. Your charges will £85 (Entry and Track) and Additional Driver will be £25.
Duncan - You only require 1 track pass per car (I assume you have purchased the Entry+Track). Rob will need to purchase an additional Drivers pass £25 (via club shop) and attend the briefing. 3rd Driver would do the same as Rob. I'm guessing your cars not going to get any rest lol :laugh:. What are you bringing?
Ian - Yes. This would equal the total of Entry+Track (£85).

[Additional driver pass (£25) plus standard entry fee] for the additional, isnt it?
And the additional driver pass only provides access not driving, that's another £20 for each of the four 15 minute slots.
If each person wants to drive the same car three hours each they normally would have to buy a full day ticket wouldn't they?
Will most of the full fee payers be driving for three hours or more??

If people do that they could get a whole days driving for £40 = £15 entry and £25 for the pass. Driving anyone's car that spare. Where other members had to pay £70. And no-one's mentioned non-members in this 2nd driver thing yet.
I really have no idea how they run these days. This club had done 6 (?) now. What normally happens at RTOC track days?
Ian from past experience the 70 or what ever would be added to extra driver fee, then divided between the two people.

That's not the idea Ian, look at it like any other open pit track day you've been to, you attend with your friend he pays full and uses his car on track most of the day and his bezzy mate gets the odd go. I think you'll get 1 or 2 taking the piss, but in all honesty they will be in a majority, you always get this as you could anywhere else. It just doesn't happen.
Don't worry about non members, this is all additional profile raising which may lead to more interest next year. I have seen the demand for this type of track action grow for 4 or 5 years, year on year and it's now hard to get track time at all @ PPC. this can only be for the good. I know that the 1 individual I was talking to about it over this way (non member was humming and harrring ()is that a word)) and is now 99% there.
I certainly know any of my group wanting to thrash Fluffy round the track can think again, let alone any random bystanders.

The Additional Drivers pass allows this driver "on track". He/she will need a car to use of course. They can only use cars that have already purchased Trackday pass's. For example: DanC has bought a Track and Entry and Car.Crash Additional Driver pass. DanC can let Car.Crash use his car on track (as his car has a Trackday pass). With this example, we wont have anymore cars on track than there already is.
If Car.Crash decided he is having so much fun and wants to put his car on track, he will need to purchase a Track Time session for £20 or 2 @ £40. Yes we will have an additional car on track but we have covered this before.
Hope this makes sense.
Most fee payers will have their cars on track for more than 3 hours, assuming they dont give up!

last year there was a burger van during the day but at night i think your on your own

Full track day passes are open pitlane :agree:
sessions....................:disagree::cry:
Sessions are only for those wanting to put a their car on track for a short while and not the full day Eug. The "session" will be just those cars on track, without the full pass drivers and cars.
The 2nd driver pass still gives you full open pit access to a car already paid in full, like a "normal track day"
That's the way I read it???

Blyton have said its up to RTOC so what's it to be? :confused:
Just bring your licence just in case. :)
Edit..... the photo card. I'm not bringing my paper part.

Is there a policy around accidents btw?
For whatever reason if there is contact between cars, I assume there is no liability going forward?
I think it should be clear to everyone what the expectation is, because should something happen I want to know who I can expect to bear the cost of fault or non-fault incidents.
Example:
Someone's brakes fail and they T-Bone my car. I wouldn't expect to bill them.
Or
My brakes fail and I T-Bone their car. If I got billed for their damage, i'd file it in the bin.
Is this everyones understanding? We should be clear, just in case.

Dave sounds like your best to just watch LOL oh and check your brakes if you do go out ;)
It's something most people overlook, thankfully most :coffee: rtoc trackers are safe and dont cause situations
I have been on track days littered with idiots (nicest word I could think of lol)
I have always had track cover on my road cars used but the track beast none, not sure if someone crashed into me and they were in the wrong I would say oh well, ops.
Its not a race and most places control the idiots well and then it really is the unlucky situation of a mechanical failure incidents which tent to be rare. I have been to a day or 2 where clearly their cars were pants and going to fail - that cheeses your head in while waiting for a track to be cleaned for a few hrs :disagree:
Must get round to spraying the track beast an evil green with LED front lights to make sure other track uses actually see me :cooter:
DG
If you're driving like a tool race control will pull you up. If in the unlikely event 2 (or more) cars come together, regardless of who's fault it is, you're NOT covered. This is the same for any track day that I've known of. You can of course take out your own track day insurance. £££

Just making sure we're all on the same page mate. It only takes a puncture or high speed lift in a corner to cause a spin, if an engine goes and covers the track in oil or water in front of a few cars...many different possibilities outside of peoples driving standards.
I don't see any harm in discussing etiquette just in case :)
Pretty confident my car is as safe as any other...or as safe as a 1982 French rotbox can get anyway :laugh:
Car failed on a few items, need to see what they mean by front suspension needs welding though :crap: but silly item like seat has excessive play and forgot to put the battery clamp after putting battery back in :ashamed:

Really looking forward to it and catching up with the regulars Friday night (especially as I cant stay Saturday night :()
And will go and say it - weather looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! - even if my current rad could not control 12psi coolant temps and not made a nice fat alloy item - sure mid 20deg temps will helps the situation :cool: :rolleyes:

Brilliant, thanks Mart, make sure everyone knows that there will be only one track briefing, if you miss it, you may not get on track. :(
I'll be sure to mention it to whoever I bump into when doing the usual :beer:-fuelled campsite walk-about :D

Also in true lastmin.com fashion I was going to pay for my tickets today, is this the prefered method over cash and guess thi slate collect bands etc on the morning?
Cheers

Duncan, I'd recommend paying a committee member on the day now as the tickets probably won't turn up in the post before the weekend.

If you've just bought your ticket through the club shop then you're fine. We'll have you on our print-off on Saturday Morning.
Please bring your driving licence photo-card to assist with driver sign on.

Or due to this new DVLA licence bollox, I've had to send mine away, paper and card and 20 of my hard earnt... Just so there pictures upto date, hope nobody's in that fix.
Funnily enough I'm in that fix also, however, it's no fix for me as I haven't sent it away yet! The DVLA can tongue my balls until after Blyton. It's still in date for a week or so anyway. :coffee:
I'm also a but screwed with the driving licence. DVLA still haven't sent through new photo card (lost wallet in Belgium) so ill only have paper counterpart and passport for photo. They can't grumble at that surely??

If you can bring either part of your driving licence, if not both.
For those who have lost/misplaced your driving licences, I would ask you bring something to validate you are a legal driver. Insurance certificate perhaps.
We as a club need to protect ALL members, be it on track or off. We can manage this sensible, that's what we are here.
Call me or PM me if you need to chat
Welding being done tomorrow, fingers cross all will be good for Friday now :)
They are just trying to fix the seat at the moment, it seems that I may be a bit big for that seat position and had bent the metal cross bar which the seats bolt to apart so nut is coming out, they are going to temp fix it until I can remove the carpet and sort it out properly so I can still get he car there this Friday :D

Most track days need both as already discussed but sure they have a DVLA number to call and confirm - with charge incured
Most people are banned for good reason lol

It's at mine on Preston lane, two little bottles of chemical ;)
All work done, so just waiting for the paperwork. Will collect tomorrow morning then head my way up to Blyton :D
So what's the deal with entry Friday / Saturday and kicking out Sunday?
I'm not camping (staying at local b'n b) but want to drop the car off Friday evening, stay for the banter, leave late in the evening and come back Saturday morning for sign on and track. Similar story for Saturday night, stay for the banter, head off to b&b but leave the car on site and return for it Sunday morning. Can they accommodate this??
Will be much safer to leave the car on site as opposed to the travel lodge car park on the trailer ready to be pinched!

I'll pop round later on mate. Could really do with collecting something of mine form your parents too if they are in (will bring that battery back too)
