Just testing the water to see who will be interested in attending a track day at Croft probably a Saturday April May time..

there will be 3 groups with sessions running for 15min with aproximatley 12 cars in each will start at 09.30 and finish about 17.00 so you should get about 7 or 8 sessions in...

bigest problem will be noise as your car needs to be a maximum of 88dec static.... there is also a noise test done on circuit but this can be helped by spacing the cars out a little, as the track is 2.1miles long and only a maximum of 15 in each group this wont be a problem...

cost will depend on how many entries but around £125.00
if you are interested or require more info get in touch......

Never will pass 88db!! But open pit lane would be worth it. If if was 105db that would be fine.

No you will be out at least once every hour so you should get 7 or 8 runs in... breakdowns depending but most are removed in minuites so if it happens in your session there a good chance you will be back on track in that session.....

the 15mins is just an idea might be able to make it 20mins need to work out which is best.......

Done open lane before but they can only run 15 cars on track at one time i think it is.... and when was last done some cars that went out first were out there for an hour or so which ment other drivers could not get on track till later and some had loads less track time......i beleive sessions is the fair play way.....
