As I'm missing the Llandow Track Day this time round I was thinking of a Castle Coombe track day, they're fairly regular & it's circa £170 each or £295 for two (£147 each).

Would anyone else be interested in a spin around CC on either 3rd/31st May?

Ewan/Andy - would be great to have you on board!

Andy - well pointed out about the noise restrictions (just spoke to a particulrly terse lady at CC who mentioned they've "had problems with Maseratis" in the past). Statement from the website:

All vehicles must comply to the strict noise limit of 100db(A), which is measured at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet at 4500rpm. All vehicles will be sound checked prior to taking to the circuit, please ensure that your car is in suitable condition for circuit driving and to MOT standard. Cars fitted with slick tyres are only permitted subject to strict monitoring of driving standards. In the event of a car failing the sound check, then the driver will be entitled to a 75% refund. If you are unsure if your car will get through the noise test, then you could always come over to get it noise tested prior to booking a place.

Will sort details & booking (probably better if we book separately - I asked for group discount & denied plus the "2 for £295" isn't bring two cars & two drivers as it implies on the website)

How many do you need for exclusive use?

Pass but get the feeling it's lots! If we got a lot of interest I'd investigate, but there's 20 on track at a time in groups (15 mins sessions per group, 6-7 sessions over a day 0900-1700hrs (15 mins in every hour)) so maybe 80 cars?!? Thats a lot!! Anyone done a track day at CC before & can provide more than a guesstimate?!?

80 cars x £170 = £13,600 ...... ? hmmmmmm

I have been there 4 times.....Great fast track but I did look into booking it instead of Llandow last year and it was just silly money......Llandow £81 for 20 cars and if I remember right they wanted £250 a car fo 20...May have changed no......It you can get it for £150 its worth it

Count me in - sounds like fun. I can do either date as well.

(Sorry cant seem to cut and paste the list - am using an iPhone app to access the forum today)

Cheers

Andy - sorry, my **** up (and a seriously misleading website) it's £170 per car and driver ..... and we'd join an existing day ..... regardless it'll be a good crack & a fast drive!

And with a DL service, two new front tyres & maybe a new sports exhaust before the day (I'm erring towards the 31st if anyone else has a preference) I reckon we'll be spot on!! If we get enough interest I'm sure we can get discount!
