Hi

I'm currently booked to do my first day at Donnington in my DC2, Saturday 8th December. It's an open pit lane day, so lots of track time 8)

It's with:

www.circuit-days.co.uk

The advertised cost is £149... however if your a Honda Rev's member, your get a discount... give them a call and speak to Chris :wink: (£134)

They also include a 20min session of on track tuition in the price :!:

Hope a few DC2/5 owners will join in :?:

Mike

Me and Alucard (DC2) are considering this, although I'll be in the FD rather than the DC5 as track insurance is included in my policy for that.

Still debating whether this or a sessioned day at £105 is better - I enjoyed the sessions last time out, as everyone was on warming up/cooling down laps at the same time and it was about the right length on track, but at this time of year, open pit lane will be better for overall track time.

Out of interest who has been out on track with with circuit days before? How was it? Just wanted to get an idea before considering this as I know some organisers do things differently and I'm just a novice!

Cheers

Think I might go for this, as Alucard's stem seals look like they've gone, so I'll be solo. :(

I have lots of friends/family who want passenger rides, which are free with Circuit Days but £20 a pop with Trakzone (Donington themselves), so it costs in even without the extra track time of an open pit lane taken into account. I also wouldn't mind the free instruction! 8)

Anybody wanna go halve/quarters on pre-booking a garage, or are you gonna get their well early to bag one? (Assuming a few more people book on, as there aren't a huge number at the moment).

Hmm, might actually go "feck it" and put this on the credit card. Really wanting to do one before it gets too cold and harsh.

You're making me wish I was taking mine! :wink: (I will be thinking this even more if it's wet on the day... :? )

I found Donington was pretty easy on the T1-Rs on my track wheels (they came on them, I wouldn't have paid for them!), so you should be fine.

The Falken 452s and P Zeros on the FD were fine too.

Last time I went on with T1-R's on the EP3 they did not hold up well at all, the rubber totally melted into the grooves :lol:

I'll have to do an afternoon session if there is one. It does say on the itinery that there's an afternoon signing on and briefing so I presume that there is one :?

The reason is I live 3 hours away from the track and i'd either have to be up at 4.30am to get there for an 8.20 sign on or stay at a hotel, but that would mean it would be too early to get breakfast and I need my breakfast :lol:

I've been trying to contact the event organisers to find out but the phone's just ringing out :( .
