Here are a few details of the day & things you need to bring with you.
Arrive in plenty of time before your first session. I shall be there about 8:00am. The fun begins at 9:00am.
Once at the circuit, find your way to the TDC stand (parking spaces). You will need to attend a track briefing before being allowed out on track. At the end of the briefing there will be spot checks for driving licences, so make sure you bring it with you (just the credit card bit). On the way out of the briefing you will receive a wrist band. This wrist band must be worn to allow you to go out on track.
You then need to get your car sound tested, if your car passes you will have a sticker stuck to your windscreen, again, you won't be allowed on track without one.
This is why I say "get there early", plus you need time to unpack your car, you don't want to be flying around the track with a boot load of spares etc.
Helmets must be worn (no I don't mean they need to be old). You also have to have your arms & legs covered.
You can use video recorders as long as they are securely fastened.
NO DRIFTING is allowed
& no overtaking on the twisties.
I'm sure I'll think of something else, but any questions please ask.

Yes there is but we'd need to reserve I think and I think it's something like a tenner for the day, not sure. Best if you can beg, steal or borrow one.DavePoth wrote:Is there helmet rental?Mad Mart wrote:

OK, I now have all the passes & will PM those going, later. I have a few spare FREE admission passes available, usually a tenner to get in. PM me with your details if you'd like me to send you one.

Thanks for the passes mart. I've got my helmet (luckily it fits well) and I just spent...ooh, 26 minutes track modifying my fiesta. I took all of the crap out of the boot, emptied the glovebox of CDs, and took the floor mats up (which were surprisingly heavy). I then removed all the trim in the boot, and the parcel shelf. The rear of the car sits an inch higher.
Then it's off to the petrol station for a wash (the dirt must be worth 2kgs) and pump the tyres up to the recommended pressure for "high speed" running.
