Good news- the BBR trackday is now open to all Mini2 mini's.

It's on the 16th Nov and is £165 plus VAT.

The 300bhp Mini should be there, as well as some other extreme cars hopefully including a 300bhp Elise which should be finished by then.

If there are a few Mini2 minis I'd like to try and organise people to be able to take passenger rides in each others Mini's- so us poor 220bhp can see how the other half live with 240bhp etc.

This is a great opportunity to try out one of the best tracks in the country- and see some fantastic cars.

This is my first trackday in my mini and it would be great if we could get a lot of Mini's out there- and put faces to names.

Please let me know if you are interested, what state of tune your car has, and if you mind taking others out.

Cheers.

I like Goodwood as a curcuit, but the usual 10 car limit really bugs me.... especially on such a large curcuit.

Shame its mid week, would love to take my car there and see how it rates against theirs. Good price for Goodwood (usually £220+) but then again it is mid winter almost...

shazam · Sep 30th, 2005, 07:30 PM

I know but lets face it if it rains, it'll still be fun, but just a little more sideways.

I thought a ten car limit was a good thing- especially on such a fast track- or does it spice things up a little when its busy.

KATENKEITH · Oct 11th, 2005, 08:58 AM

I`m very near Goodwood -how do I book for that day? Gotta keep my hand in.

I would quite fancy this... I'll put in for a day off at work.

I have a Cooper Convertible, Chipped, but otherwise standard. Just really fancy testing the car on a track. Also are Convertibles allowed?

Also happy to take folk out.

Any guide on helmet hire/cost?

Best you start saving for a new set of tyres!!!!

minicabrio · Oct 12th, 2005, 01:56 PM

Its quite handy actually, I've been wanting to get rid of the two remaining runflats that are on the front!! lol

Tonyt3 · Oct 12th, 2005, 02:31 PM

no reason why convertibles wouldn't be allowed. Helmet hire at Goodwood used to be £10.

Goodwood isn't too bad on tyres (although a little rough). if it rains you won't lose any tread....

Nice curcuit, and only 10 cars allowed on at a time, so you won't get hassled by fater cars. Can be lonely out the with only 10 cars on track.

Cheers for that Tony!

Sounds like an ideal track for me! I'll ask for a day off, and confirm later this evening/tomorrow. Sure only having 10 cars out there will be okay, I'll see them all regularly as I lap them

Can't blame me for trying

See if you can get one of the track people to come out with you for half a dozen laps to show you the line - it will boost your confidence significantly and you'll enjoy it a whole lot more. I really liked Goodwood as its a proper track - it used to be the F1 track many years ago - and it is a fast flowing lap, appart from the start/finish chicane. It is a little bit 'bland' in terms of recognition pints out the back - so it is easy to get confused between one corner and the next at first.

I might just do this day myself yet - would love to blow a BBR off the track with my 'standard' Works...

minicabrio · Oct 12th, 2005, 03:51 PM

Cheers Tony ur a star! I will ask when im there if someone will come out with me for a few laps....

KATENKEITH · Oct 13th, 2005, 07:08 PM

SOUNDS GREAT BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW/CAN TELL ME HOW DO I BOOK?

DOH -thanks for that

minicabrio · Oct 15th, 2005, 10:07 AM

I have emailed them, waiting for a reponse

shazam · Oct 16th, 2005, 08:42 PM

Sorry I havent posted recently, but my wireless box (BT voyager) is knackered, so i had to find my old modem and install it.

Ok, please book direct with BBR and mention MINI2.

The track day will start with a full debrief, and slow laps in convoy to get the line.

I think there will be instructors available (for a charge) who will give one to one instruction.

David at BBR will also give advice on correct tyre pressures etc, so bring your compressor.

minicabrio-uk any chance of a ride in the old soft top?

KATENKEITH- can you advise best place to fill up beforhand- plus anything else we need to know (I'm thinking bacon sarnies)- taa

Tonyt3- come on you know you want to.

Thanks all- Jason

minicabrio · Oct 16th, 2005, 08:58 PM

I've booked the day off and have emailed BBR, i might phone them tomorrow aswell.....

shazam - booked you in for a ride

I can't wait!!

shazam · Oct 16th, 2005, 10:11 PM

Tonyt3 · Oct 16th, 2005, 10:58 PM

Why don't you all come to my track day this Saturday, the 22nd? Just £170, at bedford autodrome. Should be a blast.
