^^^TRACKDAY, Silverstone GP - £229 with Circuit Days - Monday 26th Feb 2018^^^

Post by Dr. FrankenRex »

Hey Guys,

I have discussed discounts etc. with Circuit Days and they are willing to hold the discounted price of £199 until the end of January for the RX8 Owner's Club. If we can get 15+ cars, and we pay for them all together - then we can get the places for £190, but given the time of year I think this may be a challenge - we shall see!

Would be awesome to have an RX8 invasion once again!

For those who haven't driven Silverstone GP Circuit before then I would seriously recommend it, it's a great experience and the home (for now at least!) of the British Grand Prix! It's also a great track day to do as your first one as the track is seriously wide and has a LOT of nice big tarmac'd run-off just in case!

We did a day back in 2016 and it was incredibly wet, but incredibly fun (when there weren't red flags, but that's another story!)

Hi Dan,
Circuit Days are a good company :thumleft: There won’t be any of the problems experienced before and they set a lower limit of cars attending as Open Track were advised to !!!
Being a Monday you may not get the same turnout but it,s worth doing the GP circuit at least once in your life =D>
I may even do this one myself with Paula :)
Come on people get your names down
I’ll sort a list for you later if you want Dan or you can keep it under control yourself :(

Entirely your shout on the list, Pete. I'm happy to maintain it, but don't want to step on committee toes if the events peeps want to drive it.

Having some of that Dan! At least if I break something on the car here it's much closer to home when I ask my wife to rescue me!
Do you know what the deal is about bringing passengers - i.e. do they have to pay another £199?

Before anybody goes and buys places (if you haven't already) I'm going to see if there's a possibility of some group discounts.

Watch this space.

Ooooo. Count me as a maybe. When would people recommend booking by? Never done a track day before and if I'm gonna do one Silverstone would be a dream! I already read one of the posts with advice for first track days, just gotta read a bit more and then convince the wife this is worth the time and money a month before our baby is due lollllll

The price is discounted until January, then it's 239, so before then :thumleft: but as said, I'm hoping to negotiate a group discount for a certain number of bookings.

Thanks Dan & Nigel - I followed the link to the event but didn't get into the rest of their site! It reckons £10 for a passenger and £30 for an additional driver (plus helmet hire if they don't have one).

Hi Guys,

Heard back from Circuit Days. He said that as this is an offer price already then he can't really do any more discount unless we have 15+ cars, whcih would bring it down to £190 (not huge discounts, but it is already discounted) - which for this particular time of year I think is unlikely :(

That said, he is willing to hold the £199 price for the RX8 Owner's Club until the end of January rather than the current expiration of the 1st of January! Which gives people a bit more time to get the cash together!

I would recommend people hold fire on buying it on the off chance we get a shed-load of interest this week, and then if we don't then book away at the £199 price.


EDIT: Updated OP :thumleft:

That there is an interesting idea. Silverstone GP is one of those must-drive circuits for me, so I'll have a chat with Soph at some point and see if we can stretch to this one. Definitely maybe.
To Do List: HKS CAMP2 install; cruise control; new exhaust; detail paintwork, possible respray

Done: Hayward Rotary rebuild and stage 2 port; Racing Beat ARBs, adjustable front droplinks, ram air intake and lightened flywheel; Exedy stage 1 clutch; Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs; Koyo radiator; heated front screen; EBC redstuff pads all round

Silverstone GP is definitely a once in a lifetime minimum track for me. I've done it once but for 199 it's too good to miss again.

Obviously up to all of you lovely people ;-)
