Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Based on feedback from some of the recent great threads raised on these boards, and discussions within the members of the Committee, it has been decided:
TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THE NATIONAL DAY 2013!!!
THE NEW DATE FOR THE NATIONAL DAY WILL BE SAT 6TH JULY 2013
Why have the Committee decided to do this?? There are a couple of reasons:
Its clear from recent feedback that Santa Pod and the Dragstrip is still very important to the members. So we have decided to move the RTOC ND to the Day before the RETRO POD SHOW and are going to tie the two events together making for a RTOC NATIONAL WEEKENDER!! We are proposing to arrange a proper old school Convoy down to the Pod on the Sunday Morning from Blyton :yeah: Love it or hate it, the previous date for the ND fell on the same day as the French Car Show. The Committee did not want to make the membership switch between the two events. The much better option for all would be to welcome other French car clubs to come to our ND! Because we have now moved the date, the Committee are also planning a PROPER attendance of the French Car Show by the RTOC!
Myself and the Committee are aware that you cannot please all of the membership all of the time, but we are hopeful that these changes will give most of you that warm RTOC fuzzy feeling :laugh:

I'm guessing hissy fits were thrown at the show n shine last year? Lol.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
wow this sounds like a great plan! have to reconsider my schedule though. pretty busy period when i get back from Afghanistan!
would be a long weekend btw, including the trips from and to The Netherlands :P
going to gauge interest here, sure as hell not going to drive all that on my own!
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Guys , any estimated prices yet ? I want to let all the skinflints on 21toc know.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
This sounds better tbh!! A convoy is good that way if my gordini were to break down I will have lots of techs to help me limp to the retro show...hopefully lol
Prices will be good I have a few mates that are interested so will have to get them to sign up for rtoc although they drive Clio sports if that's acceptable...

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Is there gonna be a group/mass email sent out about this?
Only 500 odd people have 'viewed' this thread, although if that many turn out, I reckon we can afford ND at the 'Ring next year :D
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Probably more like 50 people viewing 10 times each.
Mass email is probably a good idea.
Perhaps once the prices are sorted which is being talked about currently. Then tickets can go on sale.

Does that mean you will be making your way up there for the weekend?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
End of month was better for me but sure I will drag the ickle track beast there again :cool:
Resist the temptation to bring (hopefully) finished tfsi k04 powered vx220, 2nd boy due to arrive 8th May and banned from all car work for a couple of months which makes finding time to do a few jobs on my own car difficult to impossible :coffee:
Looks a good weekend layout - unless you get very drunk Saturday night ready for Sunday early start......maybe im just getting old lol :cooter:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
The Committee have finalised the pricing for the 2013 Renault Turbo UK Festival to be held on the 6th July 2013 at Blyton Park:
- Entry per non track time adult: £15
- Camping; two days at £5 per pitch
- Track inc entry, member, early purchase: £70
- Track inc entry, member: £85
- Track inc entry, non member: £110
We have also invited MTech Automotive along to the 2013 event again with their rolling road so members not interested in running their car on-track can have 3 power runs. Tickets to run your car on the Dyno on the day will cost £25 but the club will also be putting a limited number of earlybird tickets in the club shop for members to purchase for £20

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
quick question, if members have more than one car they want put round the track would they need 2 track tickets or just the 1?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Pass is for driver not car so bring as many as you like ;) All drivers must have full price ticket ,there is no 'second driver' option .

i want to attend but the problem is i'm in the RNLAF and it's that week that we have a base excercise.
probably can't get the friday off so would be impossible for me to be in the UK in time :(
a real shame as it looks like a cracking weekend!

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
NOTICE!!
Given the small number of tickets sold for the UK National Day this year, i'm now looking into the options now of selling tickets to our day thorough a 3rd party (not confirmed yet)
I do not want the club to spend all it's money to put a day on for all those members who will come along only then to be skint and unable to support what the RTOC really is...THIS WEBSITE you're reading.
I know some members will not like this (myself being one) but we do not want the club to lose money.
So if you don't want this to happen, BUY A TICKET!

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Steve,
Wont it be the case of noone buys until the last minute as per ?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I'll be having at least one entrance and a track session booked when i get paid next.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Two events same weekend ie some might only want to travel to pod to save on petrol etc and the date change may be a factor in low sales atm

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Due to arrival of Elliot 2 weeks ago there is no way we can attend the weekend this year as he will be to young and looks like it will be an early start but leave after. Rob would be with me as co driver so 2 drivers and 4 attending. Not booked as far down the list atm and the saving did not make much difference for us hence leaving until nearer the time
I could prob get a gaggle of vx220 if it comes to it
Seems normal Rtoc booking and date changes and other events at same time will possibility dent a few regulars
Not sure it would be the same with too much random attendees
Do a list of attending and devide by 3 :-P

Think I'm only doing pod too. Haven't bought a ticket yet as I've got a million things going on at the moment.
As much as I want to go to nationals I can't- it's too far to to travel for a day. & due to work commitments I can't stay the weekend.

With new addition to the family sleep is something I just about remember and soooo much other work on its crazy that all I am trying to do it free up 1 weekend to do some work on the track beast in a bid to come tracking for a day :coffee:
Gutted I cant actually stay over this year as we had a great time last year. Be that just the Friday or both like I did last year but guess turning up for the day is better than nothing :D
What are the ticket sales looking like atm?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
All,
As there has only been a small number of track time tickets sold, we are going too pen this event up for other clubs and the public.
The last thing we want to do is cancel the Renault Turbo Festival, so this is being done to ensure the club does not make a huge loss and go under.
Before we start advertising elsewhere, can you promote the event to "friends and family"? Its a really cheap Track Day and there will be loads of Renault Turbos also!
Spread the word, keep the club alive :D

i do still feel, that we are as a club dwindling, we are still 80% renault 5's, we really do need to widen the renault spectrum a lot more somehow:scratch: although i know we have tried this before in the past, with little success:crap:
also feel that numbers will be down anyway this year due economic conditions within the uk:( not meaning to but a downer on the most exellent job steve and the other club members have done again this year, :smokin: but most people's spare cash flow will have been affected in one way or another, which is probabley why the number of track bookings etc are down maybe, i do also think it will be great to mix it with other car clubs also, i guess the usal renault forums have been notified;)

The numbers we don't have are the ones wanting to do track days.
500 members would be ample if 150 were keen to do an exclusive RTOC track day each year. Even half that.
I think the limiting factor preventing RTOC expansion is when the new Sport Renaults rolled off the production line no-one here bought one. Instead other people started their own Megane club, Twingo club, etc.
Over at the Fiat Forum I use many of them do now own new small Fiats and they changed the name a bit to stretch to that 'modernisation'.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
All of this is not really going to help up the numbers guys for those looking in TBF, maybe a different thread?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
So the Renault uk festival or RTOC National day is now basically a normal trackday which are run at Blyton but about £14 cheaper than the Javelin run events at Blyton?? shame not like the old days:dearme:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
There is nothing I would love more than to see 49 other Renault turbos on the track at Blyton... but tickets are not selling.
Rather than cancel the event and make a huge loss, we thought we would try and save it and put on a show for those who have already got tickets or are planning on attending.
I'm looking forward to meeting the other members as well as the track action.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
look at the figures for last year im pretty sure not many tickets sold till the last minute then? Maybe people who arent attending should stop posting negative comments on this thread..... we want to keep this thread as open and postive as possible :agree:
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Its a shame that tickets are having to be shared out to other clubs now, its not what the RTOC Nat Days are about
Wonder what all the reasons are for people not buying tickets, I know my reason's are for not buying ticket for Blyton. I have bought Retro ticket so least will be making part of the weekend
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
The problem is we need people to commit up front...
The clubs banks are what they used to be (still healthy and will be for a long time), but if we have 1 bad ND that could have very serious implications for our future... We need people to commit and buy tickets early...
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
for us its purely to longer drive (even though we are doing a one off to sangliers to see what its like) and we prefer pod better, i suppose its just what people prefer every1s different
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
How about offering them at williamsclio, clio16valver, cliosport etc.
Lot's of track people there and could be interesting seeing other Renaults too, i mean, enough Clio turbo on there too :agree:
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
At £5 for camping 2 nights and a fun get together for a weekend its pretty cheap and a great laugh, the trackdays just entertainment to watch and/or join in with............ ANYONE WHO DOESNT WANT TO TAKE THERE 5 ON TRACK ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME ALONG FOR SOME PASSENGER LAPS WITH ME :agree::D
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Although I would love to attend, it's just too far for me. I also work 6 day weeks...sometimes I'm lucky and can get a colleague to cover me on a Saturday, but I cannot for this weekend.
I aim to be going to Santa Pod though :)
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Unfortunately due to both pod and national day being so close and me going on holiday the day after this weekend I just couldn't afford everything, so pod got the nod due to it being nearer plus a friendly bit of banter with a m8 and his S3 tipped it for me, I don't think I'll beat him though:crap: I hope there's a national day next year though, I'd even be happy to put a little £ in the kitty as a good will jesture for me not going;)
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
seems to me , maybe nd at pod may of been the best bet... maybe too many things together in one weekend , most people cant afford all or get the free time etc, forcing peeps to choose...:scratch:

Couldn't get pod at a weekend, and people moaned if ND wasn't on a weekend they wouldn't attend... Last year we had piggy backed on a event at pod (a test a tune day I think) and we struggled to sell them tickets... So was decided pod hire was a no go..

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I'm really looking forward to it I must say. The last 2 ND's have been the best ever as far as I'm concerned. Previous to 2011 I hadn't been to an ND in years but I won't miss them now! If anyone wants a pax ride in my car just come and see me. Likewise feel free to come and see me for a chat and a beer too (bring your own f*cking beer though! :D) :agree:
Just need to actually out the car back together now. Chop chop Matty........ ;)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Whats the limit on track tickets? If they sell out to these other clubs, and there's none left when the Renault crew finally get their shizzle together, are we going to have a RTOC ND where most of the Renault Turbo's are sidelined?
I've got mine, and I don't particularly care what i'm going to be upsetting with my rustbucket Renault, I guess I just find it a little sad at the lack of motivation from the club. It reminds me of the 21toc a few years ago, which is literally now just the core few remaining with any hope of recovery long forgotten :(

You answered your own question there very well Dave, lack of motivation (and ultimately sales of tickets) will result in future RTOC events not being grand affairs.
I would love for all the members of the RTOC to buy the tickets and the RTOC ND being for the RTOC, but I also want to see this club limp along for a few years yet & don't want the money the club does have to be spend on a ND that loses money so unfortunately I'd rather get the tickets sold & keep the club coffers healthy. :) The downside is that will give some of the members the hump. :(
ROCK<---- rtoc ---->HARD PLACE

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Doesn't this always happen though? ie, not much uptake of the tickets months before the event, then there's a mass purchase of them the week or 2 before-hand.
I guess there's a few other events on that month as well though, and maybe hosting ND on the same weekend as the Retro Show @ Pod may also have dictated where people spent their moolah, if it didn't allow for attending both events/if you're more swayed towards 1/4 mile racing.
Maybe trackdays (or ND at track venues) have had their time, and we either need to head back to Santa Pod next year, or try a completely different format/venue? (eg, run to the sun).
That's rhetoric btw, not me stating that is the case :)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
This has been said many times mart we can not have pod on a weekend mate thats them not us we booked pod all be it on a test and tune day and hardly any intrest mate. And last year lost thousands even with the last minute rush its a diffucult situation
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I didn't say about hosting it on a weekend though ;) but yeah, I can't imagine Pod will do us any favours now, after we pulled the plug on hosting our ND's there.
Sure, last year's test & tune event was a let down, but there seems to be a resurgence for 1/4 miling again this year...or maybe it's because people can't be assed to travel all the way to Blyton, hence another reason why ticket sales have been good for the Retro Event, given it's more central location?
Perhaps the Show & Shine aftermath shenanigans still lingers in some member's minds too?
Personally, I prefer a track-based ND venue, but would still happily go to Pod if it came to that - After all, it's all about supporting the club at the end of the day.
Or, as said, perhaps a new format/venue is required to re-stoke the fire...

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
When the possibility arose that we could have the two on the same weekend it seemed like a good thing. Convoys to Blyton and then to Pod, etc. Both track and proper 1/4 mile cater for in the same weekend event.
Perhaps I'd underestimated the ability of RTOC members to pay?? Perhaps there too little money going around now and even though the Retro show is low cost it's been mentioned a few times in this thread that it adds up to too much cost for one weekend?
Or is the Blyton somewhat northern location a factor.
Or is it that there really are not many people who what a track day in this club now? If we look at the advance sales, Pod is more than two to one for Blyton. But then the track day is FAR more expensive and there are a lot of other events on.
Is the drive between Blyton and Pod a factor meaning some people can't get very drunk on Saturday night and that social aspect is a main draw?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Its a little bit of everything! At a high level, this is what I have picked up from club members over the last month (long standing members too)...
- Blyton is too far up (southern peeps)
- RTOCers are not interested in Track days (as most people spend too much on their cars to put on track)
- We dont want a track day back-to-back with a POD day
- Too expensive! Not the cost of the track time but tyres, brakes, etc...
We are all doing a great job but really need the members on board to drive the club forward.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Perhaps next year then we could get in with Retro Show again; a proper track for drag racing and good social event.
And for those within range of Northern London, the Enfield Motor Pageant may be even more popular and a good 'turn up and camp' social event, like has been suggested for an RTOC ND meeting a fair few times over the last couple of years.
Maybe another one similar for the Midlands to Northern members at a place of choosing of people from that region.
Cease attempting to put on an RTOC track day. Those interested could perhaps come up with a solution around booking places with someone else' day? Like was done with the FSC in 2007?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Book a big field in the middle of country, camping for weekend, have a laugh, bbq and beer at night, and during day for a nice countryside drive with a lot of renault turbos in a row. Cheap weekend and means a lot of people can still catch up. I dont attend ND for track or drag strip, thats just a bonus I attend to catch up with people who I have not seen for ages.

Can't wait for Blyton, if your savy you can pick up loads of part worn tyres v cheap! I prefer cheap crappy tyres because it gets the car moving under you and are more forgiving to recover mistakes... (Which I make a lot of !!!) lol

So because one year of no interest (due to being total cock up) we forget hosting any sort of event at the Pod just for RTOC members? I know we can't book a weekend but from previous years the Pod Days on a Friday have been from all accounts a good success.
The year we booked the Friday on the same weekend as a rwyb on sat then Retro show on Sunday was a top notch weekend, I don't think there were many complaints from anyone.
Maybe an idea for next year?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
It did lose the club a few £thousand though.
How much benefit is there from having the Friday as well, rather than a large club stand on just the Sunday like this year? If a Friday could be well attended enough then it could probably be done.
About 50 tickets sold so far for the Sunday event this year. If we booked the Friday as well, would that mean people would moan about having the Sunday as well at the same weekend and not turn up for that? We'd have 20 on Friday and 20 on Sunday and would that overall be less good?
Would people camp twice in a row? I seem to recall that some people did but felt that was taking 'roughing it' too far??

I will ring pod tommorow then mark and see how much a weekday is and then we can work out how many people would need to attend to make it pay and then get some names together who would want to do it i would be up for a weekday and with plenty of notice it gives people a chance to book a day off work what do you reckon ??

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I would say have the rtoc on the Friday then its peoples choice weather they like to stay the whole weekend, think by having 2 events so close it will divide people as not everyone can do both or will only really want to do one
The past years we've had it on a Friday its been busy, plenty of people racing and spectating and then the camping at night has prob been some of the best we had
Obviously this is only my opinion, sure people have there own

So the bottom line is, as usual, to have it on a Friday costs the club thousands. That's partly why it didn't happen in 2012. That and key committee (not me) being solidly against Pod days.
£4750 / £80 a ticket = 60 FULL PRICE (not half price on the day) ticket sales needed. I think that number of sales at that price is just not going to happen.
That's all assuming we get the whole gate takings and Pod don't keep half.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Is it worth sticking a poll out there ?
Personally I have zero interest in Drag days. ( nights are different darlings )
Circuits are where it is at for me ..
The economy is on its arse, the cars are increasing in value and there are less about. Parts are less plentiful and OEM stuff is getting expensive.
The sooner people stop bleating on about the good old days the better. Look to the future not to the past or this place will end up like the 21toc, and to an lesser extent "Great" Britain.

I'm a new member of the RTOC, and to be honest this is why I joined the club as well. Me personally (and this is just my opinion) I don't have any interest in track days or drag strip. I just wanted to own a 5 and have a get together and chat with other owners whenever, and wherever I can.
But also, I set my self a 'car' budget each month and pretty much every penny gets pumped into the car itself...nothing left for anything else :)

But then vice versa....I wouldn't bother if it was hosted at a 1/4 mile. Not interested so much in the straight line.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
So on a more positive note what have people got left to do to their cars to make this event :D I've only got a few minor things left to do
Make new engine mounts
Fit sub frame
Refit engine and vw box conversion
Fit a hydrolic clutch and pedal
Iron out any other problems and get mot'ed
If that fails I will be in another members car or one of my other cars
Ps since the rtoc started doing national days I've only missed 1 or 2 and I couldn't care where it's held I will be there :D any excuse for a drink and catch up with some other rtoc peeps :)

Come on though people, buy your tickets! You know it's going to be an amazing weekend, just as with every year and it's worth every penny. There can't be a club at all without its members.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
hi everybody
as we (french people) come at RTOC day i just would like to know if it is possible to buy some ticket and car pass for Santa pod ??
if the shop still have some ...!!
we are about 6 cars to go to Pod's event on sunday with you !!!
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Oh this is where you all are at...
Is there a time entry limit for entry for pod on Sunday morning? also, are there any tickets left, stand etc?
I will be driving down early Sunday morning from Blyton with others (well me & wallace) and would like to do this event aswell.
For me, it'll be nice to see as many 5's as possible that weekend, drag, ¼ miles.
:)

We've sold 49 out of 50 Pod tickets.
I've added a few extra tickets into the shop.
Please buy them now and I'll then make another purchase from Pod. We didn't want to buy them and then they not sell. Thanks.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Should be a giggle - I've got a few mates interested, one with an RX8 (£700 ebay ****ter) and a few others to come along also, I think the RX8 will be the only additional car on track, but a few more spectators to join in on the night.
How easy is it for them to buy tickets, I can point them in the right direction via FB to get em booked early. My VX220 mate has just **** his box, so he won't be on track:confused:
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
They have to register with the RTOC shop and then just make a purchase. We don't currently have any Blyton tickets to send out but I, at least, am keeping a list of who bought what. I don't know what's happening with tickets / wristbands.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I know its nothing to do with Me but there should be a serious agm this year and also an agm just with comittee members to discuss about the club and its going on.
Here people's views and clubs future and future events etc.
Just an idea matt
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Hi Matt. I good idea indeed however, with all the will in the world it still boils down to manpower and people actually having time to do whatever is agreed on. We've lost a few Committee members recently and that's going to cut the manpower down even further :(
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I had no idea until just now that the "Renault Turbo UK Festival 2013" referred to the RTOC ND. I've only just read what's going on.
I hope this can be pulled together and that it's a top weekend for all involved. :agree:
As for the future:
There are a few who love the strip, a few who love the track and the rest just want to meet for the crack. With club numbers as they are, future ND's (if there are any), should be basic, cheap get-togethers tagged on to/at a central venue when there's some other event on that those who want to race their cars can just get on with it.
Why can't the ND be held in one cordoned off corner of the pod (or a circuit) car park on a RWYB or open-track day one weekend? These places can't stop GTT's turning up en-masse to support the half dozen members who are going on the track. To keep everyone happy, do it at Pod one year and a track the next.
Whatever happens FFS just do it cheaply so it doesn't pull the club under and do it simply so it doesn't take so much organisation. This way members can afford to attend, which should improve numbers. And let's face it, that's both the biggest problem and the most important aspect. Last year's attendance was abysmal, someone do a head-count this year to see if the effort was worthwhile.

It's no problem, as long as i don't get rejected/declined after driving all the way to Blyton. lol
On a serious note,
It's such a shame that things aren't working out so well when there are so many wanting to be involved and whom enjoy it.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Currently we have no Blyton tickets to actually send out. I suspect people may have to just print their email confirmation out and take it with them. Not good.
We have an AGM every year generally. I think this year we'll need to focus recruiting more Committee members possibly.
On a positive note the ND/Festival WILL be an excellent weekend, even if you're not tracking it. It's great just to get together and have a laugh while camping out. :agree:

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.

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:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.......;)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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:

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?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Thanks Alex, Yea i'll do that mate,
I'll print it off and take it with me.
Just hoping it will be suffice on the day.

There is no north North v South scenario. :confused:
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?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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 :)

Little update for you all:

Really looking forward to Blyton & Pod.

:agree::agree::agree:
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.:)

Just buy the tickets from the RTOC shop :)
https://www.rtoc.org/shop/index.php?m...bkujocfcj8lns7
If it's just you, you'll need :
1 x members entry and track, £85
1 x camping, £5

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

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.

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!

You should be able to pay on the day but it would be better to buy a ticket from the shop as it makes it easier for us to keep track of who bought what and reduces the amount of cash committee on the weekend have to carry around.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.
Thanks :)

Not sure Chris. I've been offered a few laps in a friends car but it will be just that so don't want a full ticket for 20 mins driving.

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:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.
If he can sit in the car with a helmet on and the seat belt is not around his neck, they said bring a cushion lol so it sounds good!
I'll have to sign an Indemnity form..
Just won't tell his mum before we go..
I don't know who'll be more scared, me or him lol..

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.
:agree:

A few laps is all well and good but please bear in mind that anyone wanting to do so must attend drivers briefing and sign on .There will be only one briefing and if you miss it you'll miss out .

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:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Yes ,agree good idea but we need to point out to those not used to track rules that this is the case ;)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

Quick question about the day, I take it there are no noise restrictions in place???

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

- Track Time: £20 per session.
- Each session is 15 minutes.

- 4 sessions throughout the day (+/- depending on take up)
At a high level:
You can purchase an Additional Driver pass (must attend briefing) and use this to drive other peoples cars on track, assuming they have either a Track Day pass or purchased Track Time. This is great for passengers/friends or others to try their hand at some track action.
Track Time is 15 minutes per session. Looking at going on the hour, with 4 sessions throughout the day. This is a great opportunity to either test your driving skills or see what your car can really do! All drivers on track must have an Additional Driver Pass (as above) to drive on track.
Costing's:
£25 = Additional Driver pass.
£45 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 15 minutes track time (£20)
£65 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 2 x 15 minutes track time (2 x £20 = £40)
£85 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 3 x 15 minutes track time (3 x £20 = £60)

Brilliant progress Romil, well done, we just need to publicise this recent development and manage it on the day, I'm sure there are a max No of cars allowed on track on time and priority to full day ticket holders possibly.
I don't know, just spit ballin here.

I'll do the brief and decide then lol
But Im only running about 160bhp I reckon, I want my boy to get a better thrill so to speak.
I know this is all last knockings and quick decisions to be made but I want to put across that I really appreciate all
The effort that has been put in.

So did passengers wear a driver pass last year? With everyone wearing a drivers wristband we'd not be able to tell who'd paid and who hadn't. Everyone would be driving, many for free :confused:

Do I need to buy another then?

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Am I missing somthing here guys:confused:
Passengers don't pay, don't need track briefing therefore don't need a wrist band. Jump in a car and go:agree:
You have enough wrist bands. Main and or 2nd drivers can wear the same bands - it makes no odds.
I did mention that Snetterton charge for passengers, but Romil hasn't. Also worth noting, that at Snetterton there is no requirement for passengers to be briefed.
Romil - Your idea to turn the camping ones inside out has a small problem LOL - every fooker will be doing it:laugh::cartman:
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Passengers need to sign form before going out but no need to be briefed
Agree that a better system needs to be confirmed to stop everyone just tracking for free or pay for 1 session and go out on everyone :D
Its a good idea to try and get some more out on track etc

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
So....does this mean we're going to spend half the day noob-dodging? :p
Please make sure the briefing contains some etiquette instructions... I don't have lights or indicators to flash, I don't have a horn to beep and I can't wave out of the window as it's riveted on. Over 300hp/tonne will come up behind you rather quickly :agree:
Will the 4 15-min session infringe on those of us who have paid for the whole day open pit lane?

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

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
:confused:
I'm buying my tickets on the day. Looking at running one 5 with 2 drivers ( 1 x main 1 x additional ) :D
The wristband questions, Can't we use a permanent marker to put a letter on the wrist band.
M - man driver
A - Addition driver
S - special lot.
A.T.G.N.I - I'll let you work that one out ;)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
To confirm - been uo since 4am with screaming child so brain a bit fuzzy
I have my track beastie which I 50% share with my friend Rob does he still ahve to buy a full price track pass as we are only using the 1 car (never a problem at the normal track day setup and either free or small extra charge) in fact we have a 3rd poss driver but thats already been dealt with

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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??
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I'm lost over all this now. If I buy a additional driver ticket I can drive the car as much as I like surely?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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?
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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!

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
All, just wanted to say I hope you all have a great time this year at ND. It will be the first one I've missed since being part of the club but I'm (hopefully) getting the keys to my new place this Friday and have loads of work to do before I move in.
The 5's been tucked up now for 18 months but will make a return I hope for this time next year.
Happy boosting :)

I've started a "What is required" thread for ND... Can you all check it out and make a list of what is outstanding to get your car to ND and also your location, as someone maybe local with the part/help you require.

- Track Time: £20 per session.
- Each session is 15 minutes.
- All Drivers must obtain a Additional Drivers pass (as per above)
- 4 sessions throughout the day (+/- depending on take up)
At a high level:
You can purchase an Additional Driver pass (must attend briefing) and use this to drive other peoples cars on track, assuming they have either a Track Day pass or purchased Track Time. This is great for passengers/friends or others to try their hand at some track action.
Track Time is 15 minutes per session. Looking at going on the hour, with 4 sessions throughout the day. This is a great opportunity to either test your driving skills or see what your car can really do! All drivers on track must have an Additional Driver Pass (as above) to drive on track.
Costing's:
£25 = Additional Driver pass.
£45 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 15 minutes track time (£20)
£65 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 2 x 15 minutes track time (2 x £20 = £40)
£85 = Additional Driver pass (£25) + 3 x 15 minutes track time (3 x £20 = £60)
If you have any questions or enquires about the above, please drop me a PM or give me a call: Romil 07816 368235
:yeah::burnrubber::cool2:
Thank you Romil and the comitee for organising this:agree::agree:
I will be at the drivers briefing regardless............I just want to see how my car is fueling on the rolling road, and see how the track boys attack it to make my decision:scared::wasntme:

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???

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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:

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.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
All people who wish to drive their cars at the RTOC National Day need to reserve there places and make arrangements with the RTOC, NOT Blyton Park.
Blyton Park have had a couple of people try to book their places on our day directly with them which is not possible.
Thank you.

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.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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:
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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??
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I spoke to blyton last week and they told me on the phone that's its down to the event organiser to check licences and not blyton park :confused:
So it's at rtoc discretion I guess.
-
Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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

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

My biggest concern with the weekend weather is that I can't get my damn heater to not work! Even with the heater dial fully on cold it still pumps hot air into he car. Lots of water and windows open on the drive to Santa Pod on Sunday ;)

Someone from the Club and/or Blyton will be manning the gate.
They will have a full list of all people who have paid/wristband numbers and member details/payment details.
We are on top of this.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

You all know me :coffee:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
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!

Fantastic weekend and the weather, well it was epic :cool:
Heat management was an issue before it got mars hot on track but kept the boost at baby 10psi and survived all day :cool:
Great to get back out in the sr20det powered beastie. Brakes worked this year and traction was brilliant.
Everyone tracking were very very good with everyone respecting each others pace and abilities
Team Surridge looked after us well as per usual, cheers :agree:
Did manage to kill the Octavia tyre......driving on the grass lol. Far too many calls later got a man from Sheffield to drive with New tyre of ditch finder brand. Shame he bent the sill and damaged the alloy, muppet!!!! Got to get decent tyre Monday fitted
But meant I got Home for 9am to get my boys :)
Vibe around camp of usual dodgy banter and far to much booze lol. Always good to see so many friends and I'm done in and about to have cold beer

Great to get back out in the sr20det powered beastie. Brakes worked this year and traction was brilliant.
Everyone tracking were very very good with everyone respecting each others pace and abilities
Team Surridge looked after us well as per usual, cheers :agree:
Did manage to kill the Octavia tyre......driving on the grass lol. Far too many calls later got a man from Sheffield to drive with New tyre of ditch finder brand. Shame he bent the sill and damaged the alloy, muppet!!!! Got to get decent tyre Monday fitted
But meant I got Home for 9am to get my boys :)
Vibe around camp of usual dodgy banter and far to much booze lol. Always good to see so many friends and I'm done in and about to have cold beer

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
It was a last minute decision by me to go this year. I'm glad I got up at 3am on Saturday and made the trek up north - Yet another great National Day, and yet another great National Day with good weather :smokin:
Well done to all those who helped organise/run the day, and of course the members that turned up :agree: :cool:

These days just keep getting better, I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend with any better people.
Yet again I have proven my inability to drive, even in a straight line.
Thanks again to the organisers - it was truly epic.
:)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
A brilliant weekend! :cool: I really I really enjoyed it yet again this year. The weather was great, the track time excellent fun and the car performed perfectly - good old trusty!
It was great to meet some new memebers and also meet some long term members that I've somehow never met before! :D
A super turn out this year, certainly more that previous years :agree:
A huge thanks to all the committee members that helped run/organise the event and also to all club members that made the effort to attend and make the weekend so good, particularly our French/Dutch etc friends - well done! :)

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
A great weekend and think I may have just recovered now, car drove there and back and with a little detour because they decided to close one of the roads on the way back which two other 5s done the same thing.
Top job to all those who organised it, and whoever asked for the awesome weather to come along that weekend thank you to them as well.
Great meeting up with all the regulars as well as getting to meet new faces over a few beers in the evening / night.
Bring on next ND and like said to get that many French / Belgium / Holland people over for the weekend nobody within England has really got a good excuse for saying its too far to travel.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Was another great ND weekend. Good to meet up with everyone again, be it the old farts or new rtoc'ers. Big :agree: to Jasper and Romain, Bruno, Fred, Pascal, Xenon & the other French guys for making the trip over :beer: :)
Hope you got the downpipe sorted on the 11t. Sorry that the mobile welder idea went south (thanks Grier... :rolleyes: ;))
The weather was stonking alright! 31c I heard being bandied around :cool:
Gutted for Eug'/Andy & his Raider, but 5 year old fuel & the 'Heath Robinson' coolant cct setup probably didn't help matters ;)
Thanks to Billy, Tom, Ricardo and Sheryl for the drive of their motors :agree: All equally fantastic cars, and easy to see/feel how the evolution of RenaultSport chassis/handling development has progressed since the GTT era.
Shame there wasn't an AGM, but thanks to the Steve, Alex (nice to meet you at last mate! :D) & the rest of the Committee for organising ND 2013 :) After the initial worries regarding (lack of) turn-out, I think those fears were put to bed by Friday evening. The track didn't look mega busy, granted, but going on the overall number of cars/people present, I reckon we had more through the gate this year than last.
Maybe the format/venue doesn't need changing (yet) after all :)
Already looking forward to next year: Sangliers, National Day, and a definite 'No bling at the Ring' return visit.
Hope to see rtoc'ers galore at all of them :agree: :)

Sounds like it was a great day :-) really disappointed that I couldn't make it :(
The 5 STILL not being finished and it clashing with our holiday didn't help.
Def hope I can make it next year- with a fully restored Renault 5 in tow ;)
Well done to all those involved with organising it and also to those who attended.

LOL, the welder dude was there but alas just bad location for getting the hardware :( it couldhave been done but hiring cost was £70 hence it was left
Will remember to bring a MIG & TIG next year :wasntme:
Assume it got sorted as nobody came back to me?
Even I have limits on what can be sorted 120miles from home in the sticks :coffee: seems even getting a fecking tyre for the vrs was a mission

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
:( I have to apologise. I have failed as a Rep, despite my better efforts and enthusiasm, I have yet again failed to amass the ECM, big respect for Karl and Stu turning up, they really made my weekend doing that. It's a real shame as we all used to have such an amazing time.
The up side to this is that I'm getting to know other members a little better, so thanks to those who spent time talking utter rubbish with me.
Fluffy update
Found the massive boost leak in a pipe and got that sorted, and got home to find I have everybit of body kit apart from the one I need, Ross is having a look to see if he has a near side rear wheel arch but if not, it'll be over to you guys.

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Fantastic weekend start to finish, great turn out in the end, thanks to all that attended, also thanks to the French and Dutch for attending! Met lots of new people, and even the Missus didn't complain all weekend!
Had far too much ale at blyton and paid for it Sunday morning... Got half way home Sunday and decided to turn round and go to pod! Excellent turn out for the club :agree:

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
I have not stopped smiling since Friday afternoon when I set off for Blyton.
Jokes and laughs all the way up. Camping next to Master Chef Stott was superb. Casper, cheers for the beers. Stuart Austin for the entertainment. Waller for the tunes. Dale for the jokes (but Bigfoot is a joker!), Karl for the 9, Jonathan Smith for keeping my car on track, Mike and CGB for the WICKED parts stands (rescued quite a few people), Andy M for the sealant (and advise), Big Steve for being Big Steve, ALL the committee boys (love my T-shirt)! Steve for sorting ND out and not giving up (on track too).
I keep having little flashbacks of the weekend, so apologies if I have not mentioned you have or below. Much love also goes out to:
DJ, Paul, Andy (logg) and the other Andy one, Marc and Mark, Dave (he bought his porche along but was too scared to see if it would do more than 250 on the rollers), Jaffa and the northern crew, Camp Sargent, including Duncan, Frenchies + Jesus2, Brigsy + Misses, That dude with the twin engine R5...

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Hi all,
MASSIVE THANKS TO STEVE and the rest of the committee for sorting another great day out!
Besides a boost pipe issue in the morning the car went well so very happy, track manners were great all day apart from whoever was in the maroon Clio who nearly punted my misses off the track a few times - INCLUDING THE NOVICE SESSION :disagree: She spent the day learning the car and gaining confidence, not what was needed... Still she only span twice and the signpost only dented a few panels :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Highlights were seeing everyone and catching up with peeps - thank you to everyone for making Emma so welcome too. :agree::agree::agree: And marts cheeky banter lol.
Also managed to get MIKE PH1 16V out for a quick spin round the track when Em wasn't driving, judging by the look on your face Mike i think you enjoyed it... maybe lol :wasntme:
Hope to see you all next year or before guys!
Maybe a cadwell or Coombe trackday soon???????

Re: Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013
Big thanks to all who organised a fantastic ND this year, Blyton were the perfect host's too so a big thank you to them also.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Had a fantastic weekend and got to do plenty of laps in both the 9 and the 172, both good on track but the Clio is soooooo easy to drive with power steering and A/C for cooling down laps, ;).
Took loads of pic's, done loads of laps , used lots of fuel and drank enough stuff to sleep through anything... had a great time chatting to some old and new members alike,
Big shout out to the french and dutch guys n gals who made the epic journey too, well done one and all.
now.... need to get some work done to pay for next years event :ashamed:

We all got to Calais ok, only a waterpump revision at the holiday-inn in Maidstone at about one o'clock at night. It wasn't mine this time, it was fred2 his pump wich leaked.
I had only a little fuel pump relay problem the next morning, but that was fixed quick by megabytes! In Calais we split up, I don't know if anyone had troubles after that....
Just want to say that I had a great weekend at your National day festival again!!!
Nice people with lots of humor, more than enough beer and some good BBQ's
I tried the whole package: driving at Blyton park, the dyno and doing some sprints at Santa Pod for the first time in my life.
It was great, will be there again next year!!!
By the way, we duchies have an Ardennes weekend 21 and 22 September you are all more than welcome to join! just send me a PM or so if you want to come or know more.
Google translated LINK
In short the ardennes weekend is Beer and BBQ on a campsite in the ardennes the 21st and the 22nd a tour throug the ardennes to the ring and have some laps there.
