Is this for road legal cars o can my trailered track day car be used ?

Thanks


JacksAvon - 29/3/13 at 11:58 PM

Trailered cars are fine provided they are fit for purpose


mark chandler - 30/3/13 at 12:27 AM

Before I commit my hard earned.

My BEC although the roll hoop was built to MSA specs is not certified or approved by any scrutinisers

The car was once road worthy, however lights have been removed after stone damage, indicators have died over time although mechanically the car is fine it has not been mot'd taxed or tested for 5 years, does this class as fit for purpose ?

Reason for no MOT is simple, I save enough money for two track days by doing this

Thanks Mark


Barksavon - 30/3/13 at 08:38 AM

Saturdays Sprint Track Day

All cars will do a sighting convoy run.
This allows you a run around the course in slow time.

Once complete, take your first run, join the back of the que and go again.
Kepp this up until lunchtime approx' 12:00.

13:00 join the que and repeat the process.

It is normally found that the drivers and cars have had enough before the time runs out at around 16:00 ish.
So, essentially, as many runs as you or your car can stand.



Sunday is a formal sprint competition day.
The same sighting run is completed by all drivers.
This is followed by 3 timed practice runs and 2 timed laps, all taken singley.
Lunch
Afternoon is 2 timed practice run and 3 timed laps.

All using the French Predictive Scoring System.

Hope that has made it clearer.

See YouTube clip below for one of the track layouts.
