RTOC trackday - Oulton Park, 13/11/09

[Mart]

You may have seen on a few previous threads that I've been harping on about a trackday mid-November time - I can now reveal, that in co-operation with our good friend Steve @ TrackAction-Online, there'll be an open pitlane format trackday at Oulton Park on Friday 13th November.

Oulton Park is a great track, and easily up there with Donington & Cadwell in the technical stakes. Not sure which circuit we'll be driving on (International, Island, or Fosters), but regardless, it's all good.

Normal list price to joe public is £160, but Steve has kindly offered us a price of £125 per car/driver. Additional driver(s) charge is £35, and a passenger can jump in for £10.

There'll be ARDS instructors on-site giving FREE instructions on track driving (lines, braking, cornering), track etiquette, and pretty much everything else you need to know to improve your trackday driving. Definitely recommended.

For the noisy cans amongst us, the limit on the day is 105dB.

Being that it's on a Friday, that gives the opportunity of staying somewhere local of the night, sinking a few beers, and rekindling all those fond memories of rtoc night-outs gone by I'll look into local hotels/b&b's later on down the line.

Any questions, by all means please ask. What I can't answer, I'm sure Steve will.

Any details regarding use of garages?

[Steve H]

Hi Fellas

Big thanks to Mart for posting this up, we had a few of you along last year at Oulton (yes Duncan, I remember ) and we're lookng forward to another good day out this time.

It will be on the full international circuit and we'll sort out the discount codes and booking details soon, just keep shouting up if you'd like to come along .

[Steve H]

Garages will be £20 to pre-book, any ones that are not booked will be first come, first served on the day.

[f0xy]

[sonic-jdm]

[Mart]

Just an update on the garage option - As a little sweetner, Steve has offered us 2 garages F.O.C if we get at least ten bookings.

The garages there will take 2-3 cars each, which, ok, means not all the cars will get parked in together, but it's somewhere to store tools/items from the boot, or to carry out work on ya car should the need to arise.

Steve assures me he'll try his best to make sure all the garages (f.o.c & paid for) are grouped together.

The first 10 people to pay in full will have their names put against the f.o.c garages.

All payment details to follow shortly...

[Rob@Backyardracing]

That sounds top deal Bargin.........

[stuTHC]

Friday the 13th?

That's about right for 'unlucky for some #13 Mart'

Good stuff, robbo and me should be there

[Mart]

Payments to be made at: http://cart.trackaction-online.co.uk

The discount code (to get the £125 per car/driver price) is: OPRTOC.

There'll be a page to enter that code, and on one of the following pages there's a section to enter the club name (RTOC, obviously) & your user/board name - Please enter both of these details so that Steve can keep track, and to also help in assigning the first 10 names to those 2 free pitlane garages.

1) Mart (+ Bex/passenger). Paid.

[Steve H]

If you aren't sure about passengers etc just book the main drivers place on the website, the rest can be paid for in cash on the day. If you do book an extra garage please post up on here with your name so I can make sure they are all together.

Cheers

No problem with the extras so long as they all play nicely

It's £20 per garage, you can normally fit at least a couple of cars in and plenty of kit.

[Brigsy]

Im up for this no money until the end of the month though.

[Kris M]

Same as me Brigsy

I still wish I got there earlier that day to watch that stunning example of car control Duncan.

Martin, as you know I'm doing that little track in Germany for 5 or 6 days in early-mid November but not sure of the dates yet. I'm at a trackday at Donington on Monday next week sorting out the dates. If I can possibly be at Oulton I will dude.

[Mart]

Good man

[gtmatt]

May pop in and say hello Monday Al, only down the road
