crafty1 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thought I'd just start this thread as a place to put the track days you are booked on this year as always more fun when you know a few others are going So far I am booked for : Snetterton Sat 24th Feb - Opentrack Anglesey Sat 16th June - Lotus on track (from my old Elise days and they happy to let Caymans join in !) Will add others as I go along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenG Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm booked for Silverstone, Castle Combe, Brands Hatch, and Anglesey; all through PCGB. Looking forward to them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail it Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nice one guys I am looking to get a Westfield very soon for cheap track days plus my daughter wants to have a go, could use the GT4 but it can work out expensive to run on track and the Westfield will be cheap and I won't worry much about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCL Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 10th March. Bedford GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Castle Combe 16th March (in a Mk1 TT) https://www.slipandgripautomotive.co.uk and Castle Combe again 19th July in the Cayman, with PCGB. Would be disappointed if those are the only 2 I get to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Definitely - Oulton Park Porsche Day Friday 9th March - booked via MSV. Possibly - Brands Hatch Open Pit Lane Monday 30th April - available via MSV (this is for a Muscular Dystrophy fund raiser) Possibly - Silverstone PEC Friday 10th August - available via PCGB. I’d like to do a Bedford Autodrome GT circuit day via MSV maybe in June, just because it’s close-ish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a track nut but I’ve done a few. Bedford is flat as a pancake with loads of runoff so very safe. Suits me as I’m quiet low on the competence scale. It is featureless though and quiet long. So much so that it takes a while to remember which corner is comming up. My two fav circuits are Rockingham (you use a smal, section of the banked circuit) and snetterton. Fast interesting but plenty of space in case it goes pete tong Edited February 22, 2018 by Porker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it’s organised by members of the PCGB RS register, but it’s open to all Porsches. There are quite a few Caymans going, certainly a few CRs, although there only seems to be a couple of us from this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushman Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 this circuit, long before Johnathan Palmer held a driving licence and bought it, was RAE Thurleigh and boasted the longest runway in Europe at over 2 miles with an option to extend easily another half mile if needed in times of conflict for B52s etc. also considered as an alternative for emergency shuttle landings. so yes there is a lot of flat straight 1950s concrete to play on.

It's actually on the day of my birthday and I assumed it was an RS only day, so dismissed it. Now it's full. D'OH!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the PCGB forums I can see that there are people getting in off the reserve waiting list as some folk drop out. Although this weather front coming in might kybosh it if the snow dumps and stays.... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd love to do a Nurburgring trip with these cars, especially if we could get an R group heading out there. Maybe if a few of us fancy it we could get something arranged. Ive been before but not with the CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
