Hi Chaps,

I have booked myself onto this track day. Can't remember if it's been mentioned on here before or not.

Hope to meet up with a few more E9x M3 owners on the day.

Cheers

Strange... the link works fine for me...

Here are the details:

BMW Car Trackday - Brands Hatch
@ £139.00
Brands Hatch Indy
Tuesday 25 November 2008

If you own a BMW and would like to explore your cars true performance, then look no further - we have the trackday for you.

We have teamed up with BMW Car Magazine to bring you another trackday exclusively for BMW owners. Whether you have a 318 or an M5, all BMW’s are welcome as a rear wheel drive car on a racetrack is a recipe for some serious fun! After all, BMW's are the 'Ultimate Driving Machine'

The day will be run as an open pit lane – giving you the flexibility to go on and off circuit as much as you please.

Don’t worry if you are a novice, we will be running minibus rides around the circuit with our race instructors prior to track time commencing. They’ll be able to offer you a few tips about track driving before you head out on circuit in your own car. The first 20 minutes of track time on circuit will be sighting laps where you can go out behind a pace car at a limited speed and familiarise yourself with the circuit.

Our friendly, professional instructors will be on hand throughout the day to offer advice and in car tuition, helping you perfect that ever-crucial racing line and advanced your driving skills.

You are welcome to bring a friend along too as either a passenger, spectator or if you are feeling trustworthy, additional driver. If you don’t have a helmet then these are available to hire for a small fee.

The BMW Car team will be here on the day, handing out the latest copy of the magazine and other goodies. The event will also be covered in a subsequent issue so you'll have the chance to get your car in the magazine!

We look forward to seeing you here!

what about insurance?

booforty · 10-29-2008, 08:55 AM

I get track day insurance from MORIS. It gets cheaper the more you use them. Here's their website: http://www.moris.co.uk/

biscuits · 10-29-2008, 01:33 PM

I've just asked for a quote from MORIS.

Last time I asked for a weekend at the 'Ring they quoted £410 a day

Phoenix 21st · 10-29-2008, 06:06 PM

i'm out

Speedtrap · 10-29-2008, 06:16 PM

How much did you pay for the insurance before Paul? Just checking out the costs as it might be cheaper to go to the Ring

biscuits · 10-30-2008, 08:21 AM

A day at Brands is a whole load cheaper than a trip to the 'Ring !

Moris want £175 for the day and I'm guessing the more I use them the bettwer the premiums will get. £39500 cover, £3000 excess.
