When a group of us did a track day at Cadwell some years ago, we were all different skill levels, so we all booked with Focussed Events but each individual booked into the group i.e. Novice, inters, advanced that suited them.
[/size][/color]This way we could all stay in the same B&B for the social side, and boy was there a social side! lol[/font]
[/size][/color]Then on track day we could bolster/commiserate with each other and if necessary use the Focussed Events instructors to help out, they are particularly good with track day virgins keeping them safe and showing them the lines with excellent feedback at the end of the session.[/font]
[/color][/size]I have tried various [/color][/size]promoters[/color][/size] and always found Focus very professional and safe![/color][/size]Hope this helps, and have fun, Cadwell is my favourite even above Brands which is my local[/color]

Well this is getting a bit stupid, Focused Events sent an email saying they would call, they haven't. Motorsportvision haven't even emailed back. I suppose the next one to call is Hottrax.

Having just done the Brands GP Circuit with Ghostbiker, Im up for another, but would have to be after chrimbo now. Would be nice to have some equally powered bikes so I didn't get mobbed coming out of every corner!!

Not a hassle for me mate, I just find it infuriating that they ask for contact details and don't ring back. I just wanted to make sure we have enough places for those wishing to attend, and maybe a little discount to lol.

Just looked on Focussed website and only have Cadwell tomorrow, then nothing for remainder of year. Have done cheap days with them at Brands in January/February, bit of a gamble with the weather and a struggle to put on enough warm layers with the leathers, but huge fun if it comes together, just need to remember to warm tyres up thoroughly before getting too adventurous, as my son found out the hard way! lol

[/size][/color]Cadwell is best, but three hours ride for me, meaning a couple of nights away, though I have ridden back after the track day, but wouldn't want to do it now.[/font]
[/size][/color]Have also done Oulton Park, Darley Moor which is tiny but very technical and Lydden, which used to shred your tyres, but last time I went to spectate, looked as if it had been resurfaced.[/font]
[/size][/color]Hope this helps[/font]

Tori · « **Reply #64 on:** 02 October 2012, 01:05:52 pm »

maybe an independent track? Rockingham? Anglesey?

@UG... you got the URL of your pic added to the http bit that the "Insert Image" button provides.

Stick it in there clean and it would have shown this:

Cheers mate, I'll remember that. Someone suggested just booking on the same day, that might be the plan to go with.

Tori · « **Reply #67 on:** 04 October 2012, 11:26:54 am »

Ug...umm...I had an email from MSV this morning about track days. I just replied, please don't send emails anymore, as it they couldn't be bothered to get back to us about a track day. Within ten minutes I had an email from a Stuart Garland
Trackday Organiser
Club MSV
T: 0843 453 3000
E: stuart.garland@clubmsv.co.uk
W: www.clubmsv.co.uk

Saying he'll deal with any issues personally lol. I've not replied...Wanna mail him? ;-)

Tori · « **Reply #68 on:** 04 October 2012, 11:27:42 am »

Oh he also asks who enquired. I was going to say Ug.....lol

ghostbiker · « **Reply #69 on:** 04 October 2012, 02:32:56 pm »

Me and rence did ours with No limits. was well run although was a little racer based ( most had track day bikes with tyre warmers etc there was only a handfull of road bikes and only half a dozen actualy rode to and away from the track lol.) and what we thought was going to be a 3 group day ended up as a 4 group day.

But they did have a tyre dealer there and a suspension set up service also instructors on hand.
plus a photo guy and on board vid cam hire place.

Details

I even gave them my real name, its coz I is ginger innit lmao. If you can get the responses from them would you mind asking about the trackday?

Tori · « **Reply #71 on:** 05 October 2012, 10:29:57 am »

What's your real name? If you pm me your number I'll ask them to call you of you like? We deserve discount now lol!

UG · « **Reply #72 on:** 09 October 2012, 11:17:15 pm »

Right then, MSV has replied and the news is.
1.We will need 30 riders to fill a group exclusively for ourselves.
2. If we get more than 10 riders it is an automatic 10% discount.
3. This year the highest price for a weekday event at Cadwell was £99, so expect about that.
4. If it's spring time next year, their dates will be out soon.
5. We can block book via FOC-U or ring up and quote the club name.
6. The 1st option above means someone getting all the cash from all that want to go and handing it over to MSV.

We might be up for a visit. Spectators/photographers only though. Depends on date.
And does Mrs Hedgehog know your opening a campsite on her lawn?
