    Track Days/Hill Climbs - 2014

    All,

    I have really enjoyed throwing my car around the various tracks I have been too, as such, I will be booking a few track days this year. I will try and book for weekend sessions but may also take the odd day off work, as week days track days are really cheap! Once I have booked, I will post up an Event in the Calendar and see if we can RTOC out in force, even to watch/support and bring along spare parts lol.

    I have been to Oulton Park, Blyton (ND), Bedford Autodrome, Castle Combe (FCS) and Snetterton. What tracks would people like to hit? Hill Climb events too?

    I've just book Bedford Autodrome for a Evening session (5:30pm-8pm) on Thursday 8th May. I know there is Oulton Park in Feb with Trackaction. Also would love to do some hill climbs, I attended Prescott Hill and was gutted I didn't run. I will change that this year...

    Prescott was wicked last year, I'm the same though wish id done a few runs, plan to this year.

    Id be very tempted with Combe as it's only a 20 minute drive

    My club Longton and District MC are running a Prescott event this year in June at the moment they are giving preferential entry to club members might be worth joining the club for that one event. Its only a few quid. http://www.longton-dmc.co.uk

    Thanks Russell, I have emailed the club to get more information.

    Donington: National or Grand Prix Circuit? Or not fussed? - 98 Db - Anyone got a sound tester!!

    I do fancy Oulton Park this year: Sat 08 Feb 2014 (£129 - 105 Db) or Sat 15 Mar 2014 (£169 = 105 Db).

    Rockingham: Anyone driven on this track before? Sun 09 Mar 2014 (£169 - 105 Db) also Sat 15 Mar 2014 (£145 but 98 Db)

    Brands Hatch seems like a decent track and is cheap but nothing on weekends: Thu 10 Apr 2014 (£85 - 98 Db)

    And I would LOVE to do: Silverstone on Sun 23 Mar 2014 but its £289 (105 Db), Grand Prix circuit. They have the International Circuit on Wed 26 Mar 2014 for £199.

    Castle Combe - Done last year at FCS and maybe again this year.

    I will be booking one or more of the above pretty soon, just need to decide!

    I've always fancied going to this;

    Perhaps if there were enough of us we as a club could contribute/take part.



    Romil,
    I'd also love to do Silverstone, but just the national circuit. I've spent so many hours racing that on racing games that i'd love to do it in real life.
    Goodwood is also on my list

    I have just spoken to Dave @ Opentrack days and he can offer us a discount. He said the amount would be dependant on the date and numbers:
