***'TRACKDAY', Brands Hatch Indy Circuit (Kent) - Friday 5th December 2025*** £169

[casey]

This has always been a very popular event with the RX-8 Owners Club, hosted by Nick Dougill and his great team at Mazdaontrack. There is a limit on the number of cars to 60 maximum. This gives plenty of tracktime with minimal pit-lane queues. Book early to avoid disappointment

For those of you who haven't been to this event before, it has become a bit of a tradition really, although not quite on the scale or prestige of Wimbledon , it has been a regular event in the club calendar, attended by me every December** since its inception in 2008 . Please consider supporting this event to keep it going.

**Apart from the year it was postponed to January, due to 2 feet of snow on the track .

If you've not been before, all newcomers are welcome - you might like to see last year's topic for more information JUST CLICK HERE

Book your place direct with Mazdaontrack via THIS LINK I suggest you DON'T book a garage as, when we know the numbers attending, I will arrange to get a block of garages together to share 3 per garage at ~£10 per head (pay cash on the day).

Newcomers to trackdays are very welcome; please be aware that the track can be a little cold, wet and greasy at this time of the year, so can be more challenging (and more fun) to drive Luckily, we've often been blessed with cool, but bright, sunny days, where most of the track dries out and warms up a bit by late morning.

We may be able to offer a "Buddy" to anyone who requests one. This means you will be assigned uan experienced trackday driver who will stay with you from the very start of the day until you are happy to untie the knot. The Buddy can help you as much or as little as you want; help with checking your car, signing on, noise testing, getting to the briefing, passenger laps (you driving, and/or Buddy driving to show lines), etc. we always recommend people new to the track also book a "formal" tuition slot, 20 mins with a qualified instructor for £35. Great value for money if you are new to trackday driving.

If you are unfamiliar with Brands Hatch then this will help you visualise what it's like to drive;

Meal After

Royal Oak Beefeater = London Road, Wrotham Heath, Nr Sevenoaks, TN15 7RX

Time : 5:15pm - I will ask, nearer the event, who would like to stay afterwards for a meal at the nearby Beefeater Pub. Being a Friday evening, it's sometimes best to stay for a meal and proceed home when the traffic has died down. It's been a popular option in previosu years.
