All (paid up) club members should have received the track session £5 discount code via PM.

If you haven't received the code, and you are a club member, then drop me a PM.

We now have 21 cars "signed up" for this session, so please pay for your place to secure it asap through the club shop (I've paid for mine!).

We will cap the track session places available to 23. With a track limit of 28, that will leave plenty of room out on track to have fun.

Well done to everyone who has booked their stand place so far, which is most of you =D>

A gentle reminder that the £5 stand ticket discount code (see first post for details) expires on 5 February. So, I encourage anyone who hasn't booked their stand place to do so at the discounted price of £20 before that deadline.

There is still time to add people too the list. This is always a great day out at a lovely location. If you've never been before, put your name down. We are, I believe, a very welcoming club to anyone attending a club event for the first time.

I can't see the exclusive track code anywhere on the thread?
also, can I book both myself and Austin in one transaction?
literally waiting with 2 in my basket :D
I admire your enthusiasm and very impressed you spotted the tickets were now in the shop =D> The Club Shopkeeper posted only posted them up late yesterday for testing, to ensure the discount code worked. I did that last night and confirmed all was OK at 11.13pm. The plan was for the Ian (Shopkeeper) to post up about the tickets this morning, which he has now done. You were just too quick :guns: :lol:

Pete (Conan) will be PM'ing out the discount code to Club Members today. I'm not sure if your son, Austin, is a member? If he is NOT a member, then a single transaction will be fine, as the code gives a discount of £5 (however many tickets are in the basket), so correct for one member and one non-member; total £65. If he is a member, ideally put a transaction through separately, in each member's forum name, to ensure the total paid is £60.

Its both of us 1st club meet AND we're track virgins too!!!
I'm sure both of you will enjoy the whole process and experience; noise testing, safety briefing and getting out there! There will be plenty of experienced people around - if you need need help, before or on the day, any of us will be more than happy to help. If you have half decent tyres on your cars, you will be impressed by how well the RX-8 handles on track. Budget tyres will not bring the best out of the car.

@everyone doing club tracktime. Check your messages for the discount code and, if you have not received it by 5pm tomorrow (Wed 29th) then shoot a PM to conan and casey and we'll sort it out
Yea, Austin is a member, .. I will do the track session purchases separately then!

OOH, on the noise testing .. I am sure its fine, as MANY other Jap cars get louder than us.. but we're both decat and 'sporty' exhaust.. will that be ok do you think?

Is that ghetto decats or Toyo straight pipes
Is that Toyo cat backs or something else
I believe the static limit is 100db

I run Toyo manifold , mid pipe, and back box and I need mutes in the tail pipes to pass which I bought from Merlin motor sport at Castle Combe for about £20 and drilled them into the tail pipes
If you look at video on the roll bar sway bar post down this page you will have some idea of my noise level
Turn the sound to FULL THROTTLE 😉

PS : Use 235 x 40 x 18 tyres

On tyres, have you looked here for ideas?: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4303&p=1442252

Look at the last page and work a few pages backward - the topic has been running a while!

I've just had a set of Continental Sport Contact 7's fitted today (£525 inc fitting, 235/40/18). I was impressed when driven around Brands in December by a racing driver in a Hyundai i20 Sport with these tyres fitted. Also very good dry and wet performance reviews, e.g. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Contin ... tact-7.htm

I'm primarily buying them as road tyres, but also as "wet" track tyres, to replace some RainSports. I have a set of Federal 595RSR's for dry track work (road legal too).

The Goodyear tyre review:
https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Contin ... tact-7.htm

Admittedly only one review comparison. Prices for both tyres are about the same.

Nothing wrong with goodyear eagle F1 supersports. It's what I currently have and are great in the dry and wet. Obviously not as good as semi slicks in the dry. But is a great all rounder
