+--- Thread: a foc-ing track day (/showthread.php?tid=60092)
Re: a foc-ing track day - manuel32 - 10-09-12
So its worth asking our mates if they wanna come?
Re: a foc-ing track day - UG - 10-09-12
I think so mate, I'm still waiting for them to reply. If I dont get an answer by Wednesday I'll phone them up.

Cracking idea. Cadwell is an ace track and pleasant to get to.
As UG said the last time a few of us booked onto a track day we had a great laugh.
Count me in, subject to mending the washing machine and getting my stairs fixed.

Right I've phoned up today and got the managers email address, so I emailed him and now have to wait for him to back in contact.
Re: a foc-ing track day - Tori - 14-09-12
I think that's pretty poor of Cadwell to mess you around when they stand to make a few quid. You shouldn't be having to chase them about it!
Re: a foc-ing track day - UG - 15-09-12
It's Focused Events. I'll contact MSV see what they can sort out. After all they own the circiut lol.
If they cant help I give up.
Re: a foc-ing track day - markbubble - 15-09-12
seems like a lot of messing from then ug! maybe worth trying another track!
Re: a foc-ing track day - UG - 15-09-12
To be fair it's not Cadwells fault, it's Focused Events for not getting bsck to us. Lets see if MSV are any different.
We have a bit of time to sort things out.
Re: a foc-ing track day - UG - 19-09-12
Focused Events emailed back yesterday asking for my phone number. I've supplied it and await a phone call from them.
They said that many factors govern the price without explaining what. I do know from before that track supplier, time of year, also the day of the week helps the cost to fluctuate.
So hopefully we should have some news on numbers needed approximate cost etc.
Re: a foc-ing track day - markbubble - 19-09-12
good to hear you got a reply,im sure they will ring you up ,the day of week and time of year will hugly alter the prices! just make sure with them its a nice dry day :lol

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
[/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.
[/color][/size]I have tried various [color=rgb(0, 0, 255)][/size]promoters[/color][/size] and always found Focus very professional and safe![/size]Hope this helps, and have fun, Cadwell is my favourite even above Brands which is my local

Re: a foc-ing track day - UG - 23-09-12
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.

Re: a foc-ing track day - ReNcE - 23-09-12
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.
Re: a foc-ing track day - Grandma - 25-09-12
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 :o
[/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.
[/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.
[/size][/color]Hope this helps
Re: a foc-ing track day - Tori - 25-09-12
I'm up for Cadwell. I've not take many pics there, only club racing, so some of you lot better be able to catch some air on the mountain! ;-)
