    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

    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

    ANNOUNCEMENT

    I am pleased to reveal the details of 2012 Renault Turbo UK Festival. 2012 celebrates both the 10th RTOC National Day and 40 Years of the Renault 5 so we are pushing for this to be the best event the RTOC has put on yet!!

    As previously mentioned the event is going to be at Blyton Park on Saturday 28th July 2012. You can learn more about the facilities at Blyton by clicking here to read their BROCHURE.

    Here follows what we have planned already (We are still looking to add more to this list the closer we get to the event):

    Friday 27th July 2012

    Afternoon Entry
    • Gates open to the Blyton Park complex in the afternoon to allow the early arrivals to set up camp (Opening Time TBC)
    Shelter
    • Access to "Grain Store" (see below for more details) to drink a few beers & shelter if the weather is bad (We all know the UK weather situation!)
    On-Site Camping



    Saturday 28th July 2012



    Open Pitlane Trackday
    • We will be running the full Blyton Park circuit

    • Proposed times as follows:
      • 7:30am Sign On Starts
      • 8:30am Drivers Briefing Begins
      • 9:00am Drivers Briefing Ends & First Sighting Laps begin
      • 10:00am (Or when all Sighting Laps finished) Morning Session Begins
      • 12:30pm Track Closed for 1 Hour Lunch Break
      • 1:30pm Track re-opened for Afternoon Session Begins
      • 5:00pm Trackday Closed
    • Numbers on track will be regulated by Blyton Marshal's
    Rolling Road
    • We have invited M-Tech Automotive to attend our day and bring their Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road suitable for doing power runs up to 1800bhp!

    • Dyno Dynamics rolling roads give results which are within 2% of an engine dyno figure.
    • Simple drive on, drive off set-up. Don't have to remove wheels etc
    • You will be able to book your power runs either when you purchase your tickets through the shop or on the day.
    • Some awards will be given for best power (still deciding how to do this to make it fair!)
    Show & Shine/RTOC Photo Compeition Winner
    • Prizes will be awarded to the lucky owners who win the show & shine based on the following categories:
      • Best Original Car
      • Most Ingeneous Modification
      • Best Bodywork & Paint
      • Best Interior
      • Best Modified Engine Bay
      • BEST IN SHOW (Overall Winner from above 5 Categories)
    • We will also be awarding the prize to the winner of the RTOC Photo Competition. (Make sure you keep up with your entries as the competition is still open!!)
    The Grain Store Groove!
    • INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF YOUR ENTRY TICKET, we are putting on a FULL 90's DISCO on the Saturday Night to bring everyone together & promote the club spirit!

    • The disco will be held in the Grain Store to ensure that the weather can't spoil our night!!

    • You will all be able to bring your own booze into the event. (We are not putting on a bar).
    On-Site Camping
    • After the fun of the Disco on Saturday night, you will be able to crawl back to your Tent and get some sleep,
    PRICING


    I'm sure you will agree that we have made an effort to put more attractions on this year but we have also tried to give our members the best price for this event as possible!!

      • Entry ticket also includes the "Grain Store Groove"

    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.

    I know him. He is living in Győr. It is 130km closer to UK.
    (And I think Santa pod is also closer.)

    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

    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?

    I just watched a v8 Capri around blyton and he only got upto 70-75mph so it should be sweet for the little 5s? What speeds we talking it only I haven't had mine really over 70mph honest so looking forward to this now.. Got all week off So might even be able to polish it for the first time since owning it..
