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.

Thoughts?

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

Im trying to organize a sprint session up here in Kinloss on the airfield which is largely unused at the moment.
-
Cost me £66549686487 in fuel to get to kinloss :sick:
-
Sounds good mike...what dates do you have in mind & where?
-
Just brainstorming at the mo. But as mentioned Blyton Park may be a good value and fairly central place?

Tried that for bloody years and ALWAYS got shot down.....
Maybe now the RAF have gone you'll have a better chance tho! :happy2:
It's only just over a tank each way Mike! :laugh:
-
That's a 165mile each way for me, which is probably about the limit tbh.
-
would be interested in this if at blyton, approx 80 miles away so not to bad
-
Initial contact made with Blyton :happy2:
-
the track variations look quite good. I quite like the eastern circuit as there seems to be more turns. Who chooses the circuit? :happy2:
-
175 miles for me either way, I may be up for this all depends on the date really :happy2:

+2. Depends on date...
If its in end off June,I can't go as my car will be in Aks for 2weeks..
-
The date will likely be the hardest part. When I hear back from Blyton, I'll start getting the consensus for dates.
-
i might be up for this-140 miles 3hr drive but may be worth the day out :happy2:
-
Depending on the date/day, I might even get a premier inn the night before
-
If it's Blyton then I'll be there for sure! :happy2:
-
Have spoken to Richard @ Blyton and Colin @ Javelin.
I'll stick a poll up when I get in. Just shopping for a recaro for Tfsi Junior

Richard is a great guy, I'm sure he'll be as helpful as possible! :happy2:
-
235 Miles each way! Will be up for it depends on date! :happy2:
-
Well it can't be on everyone's doorstep I suppose, it certainly isn't on mine either.
Means we have to stay in a hotel and have some laughs :happy2:
*Assuming I'd be invited, seeing as I don't own a VAG (ignoring the A6 wagon).
-
Of course Mike :wink:
I have an intitial list of dates & details but struggling to add a poll to the thread :-/
-
I would be well up for this, Good idea Mike :happy2:
I not in a golf any more but hopefully you would let me bring the 968 along :ashamed:
-
A hairy chested man's car. You're in.

Haha thanks Tony, is certainly a handful compared onto the golf. and 'sideways yo!' get shouted out when leaving most roundabouts :laugh: on private roads of course :P
-
Dates depending, I'd be fairly up for this! :popcornsoda:

I believe Clubgti are doing Blyton this year, with a half day open pit lane and then half a day of timed runs. :smiley:
-
I added a few dates so let's see who is up for a Mk5golfgti mega meet :party:
