John Fuggles from the GTROC contacted me to forward an invitation to 300zx.co.uk members!!

 

As the title says, it is to a track day at Brands Hatch on the 8th Dec!

 

I might even pop along, RAC motorsport section will be there and Bimta along with a few other interesting organisations!!

 

Here is the content of the email/phone call!

 

The GTROC have arranged an exclusive (to us and our associates) track day at Brands Hatch on the Indy circuit on Monday 8th December. There are 40 places available at £145. With a limit of 40 cars, we'll go for sessions to start and then change to open pitlane assuming that the early rush out onto track, as there always is, has subsided.

 

If you would like more details please visit the GTR Register (http://www.gtr.co.uk) or send an e-mail to info@gtr.co.uk

 

If you'd like a place, please send your cheque in as soon as possible made out the GTROC to:

GTR Owners Club,

P.O.Box 43519,

Putney,

London.

SW15 3WB.

Mark,

 

thanks for posting that.:)

 

We are limiting the day to Register members and guests/frineds only. So there's no fear about loads of Sccobies filling up the day or Boxter's acting as mobile chicanes;)

 

There will also be quite a few track day virgins there so we are having controlled sessions in the morning to give newbies the time to build up a bit of confidence (and speed:)) It will also not be a day full of nutter-cars, there are loads of GTS-ts coming and even a normally-aspirated Skyline:eek:

 

EA Games have also said they will try and get along - with their new game: The Need for Speed and Japanese Performance and Banzai will also be there.

 

Rocket Ronnie will be there as will the JUN Super Lemon, Andy Barne's blue R34 and a few other 'notables' will be there.

 

If you want to know more, PM me or send an e-mail.

 

Hope to see some of you there.

Is there any track insurance?

Mike,

 

We have £2m public liability (that should be enough) but not car cover.

 

Because everyone has a different value on their car and want different excesses and rates it's too complex to do it directly (we did try once:( ). However, I can put you in touch with some insurers and they can quote you.

 

John

Do i need to get any special insurance for the day

if so where do i get it .

would love to give my car a good run:D

You don't need insurance to drive on a track.

If you are interested call either your broker and get a quote or ring Tett Hamilton (based in Bristol). Other than that Eggar Lawson are quite good or Norwich Union.

 

Basically you decide on the excess and how much cover you want. They wont insure the car just damage up to a certain figure.

 

Brands Hatch has some good overruns, but the barriers can get quite close at times, so it's really up to personal choice.

Thanks for the info is there any more places left

Garry,

 

Yes. We have limited it to 40 and it's first come first served. We have 26 paid and another 9 confirmed but not paid. I guess that leaves 5 spaces (unless we get a few drop outs)

 

Also, because we are organising the day it will be an open pit lane, so you can do as many laps as you want with no restrictions. There will be some restrictions at the start for inexperienced drivers to get to know the track but, after that, it's completely free!

 

Passengers are free for the day as far as I know. So if you fancy a spin (it has been known:o) in my car, just let me know.

 

John

Yes please i would love to try the track

will send cheque out tomorrow

 

thanks

 

Garry

See u there

John,

 

I and a few others would like to come along and view the track day, is there any charge for spectators?

 

Mark

No charge for spectators. And, as far as I know, there is no charge for passengers, so you might want to bring a crash helmet with you.:)

The track day is now full. :)

Hope to see a few of you at the day.

Good to see a few of you guys at Brands Hatch on Monday. Garry, sorry about your boy not being able to get a ride:( Just a shame Nicolas Kiesa kept getting in the way:rofl:
