Anyone thinking of going? Available on MSVT for the open pit lane.

Not the most exciting track but was tempted just so I can test out a few changes to my car.

Never done or been to this track, what's it like and any requirement for a baffled sump (any harsh tight bend sthat could cause an issue) as not yet got my car back form TGM so no chance of getting a baffle in before the date but may do this one

This is perfect for a first track day. This exact circuit is where I did mine.

I did it without a baffled sump last year with no issues. There's a couple of sharp bends towards to the top of the circuit, but I don't think it would cause any issues.

Its perfect as it has plenty of run off and no bumps/ elevation changes

Cheers mate, I am not new to trackdays but would be my first in the DC5 and im waiting to collect it from the repaint so had plans of fitting a baffled sump before putting it on track (brands mainly as it's so close to me), I will see what the weekend looks like in the diary and confirm :)

Oh I see. It would be good to get used to the dc5.

I just found I got bored of the track half way through the day :/ but if a few Dc5 owners go it might make it a bit more fun haha

Agreed mate a social as well as a track session, will see when the plans are as I believe the other half goes to India that day for work for 12 days so will see if I need to take her to Airport etc and will confirm the days

26th June? Not sure I can. Too short notice to get the time off work :/
