Nice one !!!

I think from what I have read from people that have been before that yes we need to sort a meeting point.
I'm not familiar with the area but I know the meganesport lot are meeting at services near by so maybe we could tag along behind them :)

Info about the track for those of you that want to stretch your legs.
The more we get signed up for this part the less time you have to commit to track :)




There is a gate(pitt) of six cars that will be able to go out on the track, and you are going to share the gate with Maserati so you have three cars in the gate ,you do one lap and come back in , and change your passenger. The gate is open at 09.00 and closes at 12.45 for lunch , and reopens at 14,00 till 17,00 , so you can be out on the track for 6hr 45min , so that is why the car clubs bring about twenty cars , and they just keep changing them when a driver gets fed up or needs a break , so everyone gets a bit of track time, and the track is 2.88 miles long, and you can reach speeds of up to 200mph on the long straight. You will have about 20,000 petrol heads drooling all over your cars.

You up for giving a few rides ? We need 3 cars to run all day as a steady stream :)
The more people that want to go for a few laps the better it is for everyone
And it is all for charity after all :):)
