Been a bit slow but signed up now :)

Erica might sign up at a later time too, she's without a car at the moment, but we're working on that :D

Awesome :thumbsup

Think at the after party a Gran Turismo challenge will also be appearing this year :D

Currently work on my Gordon spec GT unit, consiting of an Elise seat, table and bolted on wheels and pedals!

Should be interesting to add another "driving" challenge to the evening :damnfunny

Driving Force Pros like Ironing boards :lol:

I'd love a racing/car seat set up, shame my house is about the size of your garage ;)

Is there a full list in one post available of everything that is on offer that I could fire round the office / friends e.g. Atom laps, signed programme etc ? PDF would be great.

Daughter Emma in her Cooper S Works, wants to sign up for this if possible as her first track day. Would you guys be happy at that or would you prefer not to have newbies? I would also like to get instruction for her. Maybe Mcape could offer his services?

Cheers

Not a problem Paul, but my only concern is that when Elaine took a shot at the last one (it being her second TD) she was overwhelmed by the traffic and pace and decided to call it a day very quickly. As you know, the etiquette is top notch, but even so, it can be pretty intimidating for a total newbie to be on track with 50 SEers, most of whom have at least a couple of days under their belts.

Like I say though we have absolutely no problem with newbies on the day though - up to you if you feel she'll get as much from it. As for instruction - watch this space...

Paul

Both Ian and Clare coped quite well with the first time they drove N3 on track at KH, in fact the first time that they had driven it full stop as they are not insured on the road. My main problem was that they had too much power, as though I kept them over to the right, cars still had a problem getting past before the next corner and I ended up with neckache.

Clare actually enjoyed it too much, got too confident, then found out that you cannot actually take McIntyres without braking.

As that was in a LHD S/C Honda, knowing Emma, I do not think she would have a problem in her own car, and with 200hp she will have the pace as well.
