Locost trackday anyone?
smart51 - 11/9/06 at 03:34 PM

Llandow circuit (near Cardiff) will organise a trackday especially for groups of friends at a cost of £90 per car plus £141 to cover the cost of a paramedic.

That works out at £104.10 each for 10 cars or £99.40 for 15 cars or £97.50 for 20 cars.

How many people would be interested in this?

what's the noise limit there?

From what I can make out 105dB but it's not strictly enforced.

Sounds like fun!! I reckon I'd be interested

Sounds good, though it's a 260 mile round trip for me, which in Autumn/Winter in an aeroscreened car with no heater is further than I'd like. One thing though: their own track days are only £90 (see here). It would be better if there were only seven style cars on track, but worth considering a general day there if there's not enough interest here.

See this thread, don't know if there are any places left though - they were going fast. Never know, you might be lucky.

Dress for the weather and you'll be fine. I have a wind proof coat which keep out the breeze so that even the depths of winter are OK.

Their open track days are £90 but they'll let in loads of cars. With just 10 or 15 cars, you'll have plenty of time on track and not much traffic. Will all sevens, the cars will be pretty well mached too.

Sounds good to me,

If you need some great winter clothing, I know a great fella who does Locost fleeces for £35 each

If too far I'd make a night of it in Cardiff, top night out.

Very interested - depending on dates of course...

scutter - 13/10/06 at 08:06 AM

Any idea of dates for this, as i'm just about to rip out the rear axle and change the ratio and don't want to miss out!

Dates ? Interested.

smart51 - 13/10/06 at 10:47 AM

There hasn't been an enthusiastic response to this. You have to have enough cars for them to accept your booking which we haven't got yet. I'm sure that dates can be agreed if we get enough people interested.

My engine is at the shop at the moment so I won't be available to go any time soon

A spring job then, I'll get me spanners out

Yup - reckon it's one for the spring. Will need to get mine trailered, flaming long way from Oxford.

Will be interested if this happens spring time. Will hopefully have a trailer by then.
