The Murray Lotus & AMP3 Charity Trackday 2011!

[Shug]

First few hours of this being live and we've had six sign ups already! Great stuff lads & lasses.

Can I reiterate though, your place isn't confirmed until the donation is on the Virgin Giving site - if you have already donated, please let me know. I've not used the site before - it should show up instantaneously, but if there's a delay, I need to know about it! If you've requested a place, you should have now received confirmation of availability, so please donate ASAP to confirm. Thank you

Thanks folks - this will be a blinder.

Signed up and 1st Donation done! Will look to see what I can do for a prize, also happy to do some pax runs for charity as per last year.

[Shug]

Cool - cheers Peter!

The donation showed up straight away, so all those who've emailed me and not donated, do remember you've not confirmed the slot yet

Thanks all for the great take-up within only 24 hours of the announcement. We'll be announcing more and more attractions to the day as they are confirmed, so don't leave it too late

Thanks to those donating already! Awesome stuff chaps - rapidly heading for the first grand within a couple of days of announcement! Loving how Sanjoy has also turned it into a competition - anyone want to beat him?

Hopefully more to come. I'm up for paxing in some exotica, or just with some mental bar stewards.

Well done Shug and Andy.

Looking forward to another great day/night

I'll be happy to take passengers out like i did last year. Hopefully for a small donation.

Quick bit about the car - We were winning Time Attack Club Class until the engine let go (oil surge) during the last round at snetterton. We were well above the pace we needed to be to clinch the title. Managed to score wins at Oulton and Cadwell as well as a 2nd at Knockhill and 3rd at Brands... by 0.008s

The car is currently getting an engine re-build with full Cosworth internals including billet crank and stroked out to 2.2.

It should make close to 600 hp.. up from 480 at last years AMP3 day and is going on a diet to take it down below 1100Kg.. down from 1210 last year. It also has been running with a wider body/track which has helped with the corner speeds

Its still 5 shades of red though. Inkeeping with the KEEPING IT REAL approach to motorsport

Donation done, cheers guys

Donated and already looking forward to it. Thanks.

[Shug]

Cheers everyone so far. Plus, some of the auction stuff coming in is awesome - I think it's going to be the best one so far!

Reminder - if you've got anything that you think would raise some coin for raffle or auction, don't hesitate to get in touch with me or Andy.
