The price of the car rarely indicates driver ability/lap time.

and that is becoming my sig

wise words

for the level this is aimed at i think its fine as is, if people want to step it up a notch all well and good, we arent timing or anything.

maybe if we all agree to a headlight flash or something for slower cars to get out of the way and try and sort the cars into some kind of speed order ie put all the r's at the front gti's and the like in the middle and atmo stuff at the back we should be fine. there were only a few cars that got lapped more than once last time.

Flashing your lights will only work IF the driver in front STILL flags you past as per QR instructions to acknowledge a car is passing. Don't try complicating it. Car in front MUST acknowledge you to ensure everyones safety and enjoyment. (though I had flashed my lights a few times to ensure cars knew I was coming on to the back of em and keen to get by when safe to do so )

Ant, just guess some people think all codes are the same lmao lets see how 2 stage 2 ccodes scare the big boys this time

I like the idea of a headlight flash for telling people to move over

it works in europe on the autostradas ect

With the speed limits in place most cars seemed to hold up fine.
I know for sure that i only lapped 2 cars

We'll see what happens on sunday and what we need to do (if anything for the next one)
Lakeside has been advised of the numbers for the event so we can't change anything now.


It is interesting to note that we ended up with a total of 42 people who were interested in driving but ended up with only 31 drivers who could make it by the time i provided the details.

unless your car is track prepped (ie. better brake, engine cooling and track tyres), a street car can't last the full 30 minutes with constant hard driving.

personally i like these events as you can drive harder without much extra outlay. 30 cars aren't too bad (if everyone know what they are doing).

there are always sprints sessions for the more serious drivers.

[Tarmac]

I'll monitor how things go on Sunday and make any adjustments to the numbers for next time.

Your idea of a split day is a good one to put forward to Lakeside if they have time free for the next one.

We can just ask them when we are there and see what they say. Best time for things like that is face to face. The guys seemed pretty good last time. Im sure we can work something out.

[team_v]

I thought it might be too late this time round. At least we know now that numbers are an issue. We will notice it on the day as well with the traffic.

Looking forward to the day. Its always good to give the car a run with out the boys in blue around.

Cheers

We can't have a dual session on Sunday morning as Lakeside is already completely booked out for the sunday sprints.
I will see what we can do for next time though.

I see your point about the extra cars on the track being an issue.
I am trying to work out ways around this with the guys from QR but until we can get more people to pay and passenger/watch it is going to be an issue where you have 20+ cars

As for passengers, they are required to pay (and are therefore part of the 30 people minimum)
People who wish to watch have the option to pay for breakfast as well or to not pay and skip breakfast.

Well i have a passenger coming. Does he need to pay for breakfast? Or can he just be a passenger.

I agree with what you said regarding the type of day it is. Leave it at that.

9 more cars. Is almost the entire front straight taken up with gaps. So its actually a hell of a lot of extra cars. If we can get 2 groups that would be great. They can only say no.

I think i will try and organize a track day soon for those interested. Im currently in a similar boat with track days, need a second set of wheels as A: 19's suck on the track and B: tyres get runied pretty quickly.
