Forum sprint day
« on: April 21, 2014, 06:38:03 pm »
Am I the only person that thinks that for how much the 1/4 batters clutches its pretty boring?

Shows the quicker (& slower) all round cars & drivers.

I attended the Club Gti sprint trackday last year at Curborough and that kind of competetive event is so much more interesting!

Most trackday organisers run sprint orientated days at various circuits.  Where one by one you do one lap at a time, as one finishes the next goes so theres constant activity.  I would say Curborough is borderline too small for the Mk5 chassis.

Could be a platform for tuners & detailers etc to display their work too, make it into a Mk5 forum mini show lol

The most challenging bit as with any other large scale meet is getting a date and venue that suits the masses.

Date poll added here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,82640.0.html

Thoughts?

I'd be up for something like this. It was talked about before but ended up being a meet at inters.

Just brainstorming at the mo.  But as mentioned Blyton Park may be a good value and fairly central place?

That's a 165mile each way for me, which is probably about the limit tbh.
