Oulton Park - 31st of July
« on: July 03, 2009, 01:39:44 pm »
Full Oulton Park circuit. Friday the 31st of July

£199 full day (sessioned)
£109 half day (sessioned)
£25 twenty minute "taster" session

Second driver or passenger £10, instruction £25, helmet hire £10

It's a "novice" day, although I've seen plenty of obviously competent people on these, so long as you're not seen to be taking the p*** rocking up in a GT3 RS with full nomex atire and putting in lap times that would shame a touring car driver, you're ok.

They break you down into 3 groups depending on car type and experience - not usually my bag, as I prefer open pit, but I'm taking a few mates and their cars along too who are a bit green.

So - anyone fancy cutting their teeth?? Brake & turn in boards, no real idiots buzzing around you, plenty of run off if you get it wrong etc etc... Oh, and a truely great circuit.

I'm booked in, hopefully see you there.

Plenty of places do insurance, but with it being a novice day, you'll most likely be fine.

I've a few friends I've said I'll give some sighting laps to, but I should be able to take you out for a session at some point. No probs  :happy2:

Get yours on for a 'taster'. Just go with the flow and see if you can pick up all the lines, you don't need to batter it. Watch the kerbs though, especially the ones with the circles of concrete - they're nasty!

Aye, they've no tyres on - so unless you're planning on running around like something off Police Camera Action following a stinger attack, you've bombed out!

Cheeky set of 17"s with some part worns and just wreck them FTW.
