I’m booked on Anglesey, it’s very popular and fills up quickly. Donny does look good - need to get Xmas out the way first though before I book anymore trackdays 🤔🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsched eggs Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hi what's the cost for the may Anglesey day? Would I need to join the club it something before I could book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk1 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Anglesey is fully booked (a reserve list is open.) ... not sure on the requirements for PCGB membership. Edited January 8, 2019 by Mk1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCGB membership is circa £80 PA or similar....must be honest, you get a few discounts for bits and bobs that might be worth something to you, but socially, places like COC, TIPEC are on a similar level. As for Anglesey (and other tracks), this crew seem to offer a good range and prices, I ran on Silverstone GP track last Nov with them, seemed an organised lot and my insurer was happy with them https://www.trackdays.co.uk/calendar/cars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Windymiller Posted January 9, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2019 You do need to be a member of the PCGB to go on its specific track days. I think i paid £69 last year for joint (me & Mrs) - mainly so she can get the club discount on my Xmas present list items 😉 They are Porsche only and tend to attract a more ‘repsectful’ crowd than some of the open pit lane days I’ve been to. I think PCGB membership is worth while if you want to engage socially with other owners at managed meets. Eg the Bicester heritage Xmas fayre was great as was the brands hatch festival of Porsche. Membership also opens up the opportunity for days on the test tracks at Silverstone at reduced rates with a Porsche driving instructor etc. You also get a monthly magazine which is well written, although quite orientated around marketing the brand, but it often has good articles about classic porkers and independent dealers (eg RPM have featured twice in the past 12 months). There are a few stuffy types in the PCGB (eg silver surfer brigade in brand new models who think they’re the best thing since sliced bread) but you just ignore them and gravitate to your ‘own kind’. Ive also used the club membership for discounts or upgrades on some hotel stays that the club have arrangements with (eg Montcalm in London). I use the COC for more online chit chat and research etc, but I like the PCGB for the events and community - I’ve met some great people through both forums. For general track rack days I can also recommend MSV (they own and operate many of the big tracks - brands, Oulton, Cadwell, snetterton, Bedford ...). Many years ago I used javelin, they were good, but focussed more on airfield track days. I doubt id have got a passenger ride up the Kop Hill climb last year in a 1972 911e if I wasn’t a PCGB member. Now that’s an experience I’ll treasure for the rest of my days and was worth the membership fee alone 😁👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What sort of price do PCGB charge for their track days? Trying to work out if its worth joining (£60+£10 joining fee) to go to one. Or keep the £70 and use that to book directly with a track, probably Castle Coombe as it closest to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They vary c. £250 (eg Cadwell park) to £450 (Silverstone GP). Edited February 20, 2019 by Windymiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Booking direct with Castle Combe is £170. So by the time you pay your PCGB membership and the track day price, potentially £320! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiglm68 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 PCGB days will nearly always cost materially more ....like most things Porsche related?! :-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
