This event is being run by Nick Dougill and his friendly team at Mazda on Track, who always provide a good, fun, day. Priced at £189, which is very reasonable for a Saturday at one of my favourite circuits, due to it's great variety of corners, from a tight hairpin to Coram, a 90mph+ bend that goes on forever
This event arose from telephone discussions between myself and Nick Dougill waaay back in February (pre-coronavirus!) in trying to organise a venue for the the 2021 Club Annual Meet. Nick agreed to approach MSV The track operator) and the MX-5 clubs to organise an exclusive "Clubs" event, knowing we, as a club, would be unable to fill/afford to book this circuit on our own. Arising out of that initial discussion was this event which, sadly, as a Club, we could no longer support due to the difficult decision we reached to postpone next year's annual meet.
HOWEVER, the event IS proceeding, as Nick has had a great level of support from the MX-5 clubs. The event is limited to just 80 cars, which is fine for the very long Snetterton circuit, with a trackday car limit of up to 45 cars. Static noise limit is 105dBA. This is NOT an RX-8 OC Events Team supported trackday, but highly recommended to get an early trackday fix, as there are some spaces still available!
Expect a "Club" friendly atmosphere to the day, which is far preferable to a "public" Saturday event where driving standards can be a bit, shall we say, "variable". Many of the cars will be MX-5's, so no need for constantly watching in the mirrors for GT3's approaching in a blink down the two main straights and cutting inside you at the corner...... (I speak from experience here!)
Highly recommended to get an early trackday fix!
