Yesterday was our inaugural track club event. It didn't quite go perfectly to plan after a supposedly very reputable track day contractor let us down in a big way failing to book our slots at Silverstone, but at the eleventh hour Joss managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat and get us a drive at Brands Hatch instead and with a neat selection of replacement cars (although sadly no 2-11).
Under the circumstances the day was still enjoyed by all, and frustratingly for me was in fact over-subscribed in the end which meant I didn't get a drive. :-( Still, the steak and pavlova was nice!
Of utmost importance for me was the very clear message that I got from members that they wanted to be able to use their credits for more of this type of event - combining speed driving, a bit of skills improvement, and socialising with other members.
Based on this success, for next year we will plan 6 e25 Track Club events (including 1 overseas one), and we will proceed with our track car debenture programme which means we will have a really cool top end track car of our own that members can experience at our Track Club events and even use for their own Arrive and Drive if sufficiently experienced.
Please get in touch if you are interested in the Debenture Track car scheme.
