Righty...
So, 15 people, we could get all the spaces booked and a garage for £1750-£1800. Thats not too bad in my eyes.
I have asked about exclusivity, not too bad, looking around £11k so if I could have access to my savings, I'd smash that, purely because thats epic
But I then thought, 20 people accommodated by them, works out £2250-£2300. This would take up the majority of the groups IIRC... so essentially a BCFers track day if we have plenty of novice people attending
I'd probably be more than happy to pop £1k+ in to cover the initial me + a handful of others. |

I could do. I'd rather spend the day with some class A faggots though
I've been on a track, once, on a GS500. |

Money isn't the issue, its the getting hold of said cash. Typically the £1k isn't an issue, Maidstone has loads of pensioners to grab bags from. |

I'm also interested.
Though Brands looks like a fast track with higher speed corners, taking it a bit slower shouldn't be that scary. It would be my first track day too. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

It has 1 or 2 faster corners. the 180 at the top of the hill and the 90 degree after aren't excessively fast at all. The one prior to the main straight and one right at the end can be done at ok speeds, but I'm going back from what I remember of the GS500. Basically you'll join the noobs I am there also |

Padock hill is the 'interesting' corner - it drops away with a blind Apex, so you have to commit to your line and turn in while still braking quite hard*, without actually being able to see where the track goes - from the view you have, there might as well be a cliff there .
* Don't try this if this is your first trackday - pushing the limits too much early tends to lead to crashing early too. |

Ooooo! Maybe! Just maybe! I might have my full licence by then and can join in too! Yeah, the OH would love to do that though as long as he can get the time off work for it |
