I won't be in my 1 series, taking my old Datsun so will either break down before getting there or get flagged for noise on my first lap. Or if I'm really lucky pass the noise test then break down before my timed laps - happy days
Once that's happened I'm happy to film you or anyone else
Also for the peeps reading who are unsure about putting their car on track. I would say it's safer than ragging it round your local back roads for the following reasons.
1. No Pot Holes
2. No Curbs
3. No oncoming traffic
4. No Lamp posts
5. no trees
You can go at your own pace and get a better understanding of what yours cars all about.
Well I've going this Wednesday and I'm picking up my new car on the 1st or 2nd of September so I was saying mid October to allow me time to run mine in.
If you guys are really set on September I'm happy to be co pilot and I'll contribute to some fuel or pay for lunch 😎
Yeah tbh even two or three is good, most people aren't really interested in track days.
Great day on the west circuit, problems with noise aside.
The geriatric Datsun is now sitting in third on the leaderboard, a massive 2 seconds behind a mclaren 675lt but also a huge 4 seconds quicker than the fastest atom lol!
Nice little moment, was a choice between possibly taking the cones out and stopping the drift or keep foot in and come off track to miss cones... I opted for the latter

ha thats quite a distance to travel for co-piloting but your more than welcome! Yeah I saw that vid earlier and I think you posted one another time as well.
Lets see if we get anymore takers and then will try to set a date
Hi guys, I'd be interested in something like this, however I have a telematics box in my car, due to insurance as I'm only 18, obviously my telematics box judges my speed off the legal speed limit on the road, does anyone know how this would work on a track, also, what sort of funds would a day like this require (sorry, I'm a newbie, picking up my first 1 Series tomorrow)
(I know this has already passed but just wondering about the future)

Which model you picking up? are you in the NW? its £229 for the day at Oulton plus a couple or 3 tanks of Gas. Not sure about the telematics box! that would **** me off but I suppose its a trade off to having a nice car. you can always be a co pilot which is still good fun.
