marshals track days
Have I missed a thread? Can't find any mention of track days for the marshals this end of season. Are there going to be any track days this time?

I was just about to ask the same thing as I had an email from MSV today about "normal" track days, which reminded me about the marshal ones.
Any news?

Not sure about any at the end of season, MSV did some at the start of this year (Feb 1st at Oulton), I am sure a thread was started on here with all the links to the MSV site to book it.....so watch this space!

All four track days took part during January and February of this year. As soon as I have confirmation of whether they will be on offer again next year I will post it here and in all the BMMC regional magazines.

Thanks Stephen. I did the track day at Oulton and had superb fun. I'd just wondered if the offer would happen again between the 08 and 09 seasons. Its a shame the days were so close together last time and that marshals werent allowed to drive on more than one day. There werent any cars doing hot laps at oulton park either, the whole thing seems to have become much more low key. Its still a tremendous day out though for those who are normally the other side of the barriers. My thanks to MSV and Jonathan Palmer for supporting all the marshals and allowing us to have some fun in the "off season".

Gutted to miss the last one at OP due to an outbreak of redundancy in the family, given the weather the Landy would have been right at home....
So, now I get the chance to twirl the new focus Deisiesel around Oulton Mmmmmmmm cant wait
(ps watch out for that Newnes character, looks innocent, goes quick!)

I'd like to add my thanks to MSV & JP. I went to Brands & although we had a delayed start because of fog, it was an excellent day. A chance to put the car through it's paces & also an opportunity to see the track from the drivers point of view. Fun with learning, what could be better?
I'll certainly go next year given the opportunity.
