    28th July 2012 Renault Turbo UK Festival

    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!!

    No offence but i've watched m-tec dyno cars before at events and there is no way in hell i'd let them near a my car!
    After watching them dyno various cars... without using their little leaf blower fan... they then run a big power supra... yup no fan at which point after watching them do 3 pulls on a 400+ supra i just laughed at the cowboy outfit and walked away!

    Obviously they may of got better and up'd their game since but i'd still be warey of how they run the cars.

    Might put in a guest appearance.

    Interesting track Blyton. Make sure your brakes are tip top boys and girls. They take a pounding as not much straight line to cool em' down. Mallory is easy on the brakes in comparison.

    Should be fun.

    I can check on this but I'm under the impression that as we are hiring privately, they won't be too strict.

    Oh and I've just heard from the French guys, they are buying 15 tickets to start with - nice turn out guys

    Hi Brigsonator!

    I've been in touch with Blyton Park today and they have confirmed that we will have a 95db limit AT 20 Metres.

    Richard Usher reckon's that a 95db limit when stood next to the car equates to about 100 - 105db.

    I'd recommend you bring a coke can just in-case mate

    Does that mean they're running a drive-by type noise threshold trackday then?

    Most of the trackdays I've seen advertised for Blyton have a 105dB static limit, which, as you say, is probably on par with 95dB @ 20 metre range, so same meat different gravy in the grand scheme of things
