Arrow Oulton Park - Novice Track day

Anybody up for doing a track day early December at Oulton Park (Near Chester, NW UK)

£99 for a full day.

I am highly tempted!!!

And on this note, does anybody know if/when there is a northwest MINI only track day??

...And, does anybody know when the next "all MINI's meet in a field and discuss MINI stuff" day is ?

Cheers,
K.

Ohhhh.... Chester is only 2 hours from me. I would be very tempted as I didnt think there were any more track days until next year.

Arrow Discount Available

Have received a reply back from Outlon Park.

They say there are plenty of spaces available, and if it is a group booking then a discount may be applicable.

£99 for 1 days track time is superb

NOTE: Novice drivers only (on the track, not the road)

Some prerequsites are:

1) Helmet hire £10
2) Additional passenger (optional) £10
2) Instructor hire (optional) £25 / 30 mins.
3) Insurance of some form - liability/damage (optional)

If you have any questions, then they are all answered by reading this quite interesting and informative T&C section - click here

Cheers,
K.

What do you mean the booking has closed??????

I've just phoned them up and asked them to re-open again. So, there are plenty of spaces left !!!

However, don't book direct, wait until we have some numbers then we can obtain a discount.

Cheers,
Karl.

Smile Octane booster

May be an idea looking at octane booster too, to proect your engine. Take you up to 102 or 104 RON.

Not essential.

Cheers,
K.

Can you recommend a brand for this octane boost stuff, never used anything like that before.

Keep me posted on the price Karl, I'd be very interested!

Arrow Update

OK all....

Discount only applied to booking of 10 cars or more, with a 10% being realised.
So no real dissapointment there

30 places have been booked, and 30 places remain.

No more than 30 cars are allowed on the track at any one time. It will be a one-car-off and one-car-on approach - with little pit lane queing time.

You are now all welcome to book directly at Brands Hatch Race Circuit - The Official Brands Hatch Motorsport Site

Any Q's - please shout.

Cheers,
K.
