Peopleandcars Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Does anyone uses the car in these type of events in UK? Seem quite popular in the US I saw Goodwood Road Race Club put on a couple but that was just spring and last week... Anyone has any experience?

Founder Beanoir™ Posted November 1, 2018 Founder Share Posted November 1, 2018 I used used to do something which is essentially AutoSolo with a company called Car Limits at Northweald Airfield. It’s essentially small tracks set up and you are timed around them. Very good fun days and quite good value too. https://www.carlimits.com/ Was before I had my Cayman but, @Andy and @Lodgey and me used to get quite competitive in our MX-5s - naturally I was always quickest I wonder if we should arrange a club event...

Windymiller Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Sounds like a similar theme to the ‘how fast’ events that run at Bedford Autodrome. I tried to drum up interest on here for a Caymans only one a couple of months back, but drew a blank - couldn’t get enough numbers to make it work... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im down for the club event No his was Black, which as we know is the colour that makes drivers think they are the fastest, when they've barely got out of first gear by the time others have already crossed the finish line..... I think you'll find that the Silver MX5's were by far the fastest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going up to Donington and they are using a tarmac space there as far as I understand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
