Airfield Driving day

Postby Specky » Sat 26.07.2008, 23:30

I have the nod to invite a few people... So here goes...

Drivers Day...

when...24 August 2008

Where... Benson

Who... You and your car and a helmet…

what... 30+ cars (Possibly more)

How much.. £70 per driver

What you get... Aprox 20 mins in every hour from 08:30 till 1800ish... also full track marshals, an outside professional organiser... full fire cover and Ambulance cover with medics on site...

Other cars on track will include Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, Lotus + others...

Normally we hold Riders day with some Bikes touching 200 miles an hour.... :twisted:

Other past visitors that have been to our site for testing or filming... various F1 teams, Various clubs, Nik Mason,Top Gear and The Stig "Heaven and Hell"…. But they won’t be there… It’s our time to play…

All standards welcome…





Anyone interested...Contact me in the next couple of days...

Are spectators OK to come along and watch (and bring gear just in case anyone drops out)?
