errr.... I'm definatleyt interested (as my flate mate would be as well) *but* £200 is quite expensive... we were looking at something a bit cheaper (ie <£140ish). Though 3 1/2 hours riding is pretty good.

When were you looking at going?

[craigT19]

brands hatch

brands hatch is great for me because

a) i worked there
b) i know some of the staff
c) its only 40 mins. and thats on the CB.

however 200 quid is a bit steep. i'll be well p for it seeing as i'll have the VFR by then.

would it be cheaper if we try and book the whole track and take loads of people then split the cost, than to pay to go on a normal trackday?

do we need to get race licences and other shiny things?

[G]

For booking the whole track yes.... but if say it rains and people don't turn up who haven't payed then it becomes a bit of a nightmare for everybody else. It would have to be *very* well organised.

[Doddmaster]

If I have a proper bike, then Ill be up for a track day. £200 is a bit steep for someone on my wage though!

[JimboJ]

brands hatch?, ive never been outside manchester wheres that?!?!?!?!?, kiddin. although i know nothing about track days, ill have my leathers by then and only my 75 mph nsr:( but im still up 4 it!

I assume that you have already done your homework and found out whether they actually 125s on the track? I know that some places don't...also, I assume that everyone is aware that they need a full license?

I think you can take a 125 on the track - but a liscence is necessary



I was supposed to be going on a track day from the bike shop where I did my test and take my NSR (then I was going to get a go on a 400... ) but it never happened

Is there any noise restrictions?

Well...the lid situation already rules me out ...I've got 2 lids, and neither have ACU approval (or equivalent) or double D-ring fasteners...

wank

[Demonic69]

I doubt it's 90% nowadays. Most race-style jackets I've looked at have the one zip.

ok due to individual probs...........cough KRIS...............cough

ive found anouther organiser, this 1 is better as there baseed in surry so its fairly local also they only charge £165 so that should please you also

heres there url https://www.tracksense.co.uk/index.html

heres there rules very similar to the 1's aboveLICENCES

You must hold a valid road licence for the type of vehicle you will use. Provisional licences are not acceptable and motorcycle licences must be class A unrestricted, unless you are riding a machine which is restricted to 33hp, in which case, a restricted motorcycle licence is acceptable. At Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Snetterton you will be required to show your road licence before being allowed on circuit (race licences are not acceptable), so make sure you bring your licence with you. Restricted motorcycle licence holders will also have to show a certificate stating that the machine they will ride has been restricted to 33hp. Licence requirements do vary somewhat from circuit to circuit, so exceptions can sometimes be made in special circumstances - contact us for details.

CLOTHING

Riders &#8211; All riders must wear full leathers, either one-piece or two-piece fully zipped around the waistband, with suitable gloves, boots & a helmet approved to the ACU gold standard. If you are in the Novice (Steady) group you may wear a leather jacket & trousers zipped together at the back only or leather jacket with salopette (bib & brace) type trousers. They must, however, be of decent quality and designed for motorcycle use &#8211; don&#8217;t turn up in your fashion leather jeans or Harley style trousers with tassels and expect to get out on the track. This concession allows you to see if you like track riding without having to pay out for an expensive one-piece suit. However, if you intend to do a few more events, we would strongly recommend that you invest in race type leathers for your own safety. Nylon, waxed cotton, denim or similar clothing materials are not acceptable. Please note that that Simpson 'Star Wars' helmets and 'sparky' knee/toe sliders have been banned by the ACU and therefore cannot be used on any circuit.


GENERAL POINTS

The above regulations are really all you need to know for the time being, remaining details will be covered in the rider/driver briefing, but there is one final point, you must always drive clockwise around the circuit. A fairly obvious statement, but, if you drive the wrong way round, the circuit can fine you £500! So dont even think about stopping or going back for your mate whos run out of fuel leave it to the marshals. There is a similar fine for wilful damage of circuit property or equipment.

The consumption of alcohol or drugs is strictly forbidden.

[G1_]

is that the shorter version of the course, which would you use for a track day...watch out that first corners a doozy

[Robby]

ok kids, heres how it works when you watch trackdays there for a fortnight:

everybodys crashes on clearways. they just do. it tightens up quick and you end up in the gravel. good to watch.

druids corner is the other slightly nasty one, but not too bad. the best corner is the chicane up on the long circuit, but that one shown is the short, normally that mclaren bit isn't used and you go up at surtees then back down to clearways. the long is about twice as long.

about the 33bhp. i'll have a "33 bhp" bike and restrictor kit, but the kit will be sitting on my garage floor. will they mind/check?

i assume we'll all be novices so i can use my normal leathers.

how much is it gonna cost? i'm hearing lots of numbers flying around and they all sound expensive.

[craigT19]

the web site i posted in the above post will do it for £165
