Do i qualify for this James ?

Im definately taking the TDV8 on the nurburgring when i get a chance so would be nice to have a little practice before hand of how the range takes the twisties. Armco is expensive .

I cant do that 21st april date. Not free realistically other than saturdays till Mid may.

ViewWise.... if we do hold a dealer track day then any rrsport.co.uk forum members who have bought will be invited.

There will be a pilot scheme running soon, and following that LR should be able to give dealers an idea of cost!

Just had an invite for a half day off-road come in from LR, wonder if they will change it for the track day???  Sons of dogs come eat flesh

Al, if you are going to use it then if you can, upgrade to the full day - it's well worth it even if you have years of offroad driving expeience it is a good day out and you don't have to use an RRS either LRE's also have top spec FFRR's for playing in! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Tata TDv8 HSE - Stornoway/ebony and straight grain walnut with towpack, Tasmods and an HST grille. Coming soon LEDs in the headlights
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Thanks Tim, already had the 1/2 day out with them last year at Dunkeld when I was thinking of buying the RRS, "upgrading" to the full day was the first thought I had while opening the envelope  Sons of dogs come eat flesh

Just done my track night with Dreadnought garage at Knockhill circuit had an excellent time, The lad got taken around the track in a supercharged Lotus Exige while I was being shown how to drive and the lines on the circuit by Paul Luti, he is one smooth driver and I think we can expect to see him moving up a class or two soon.
The old MG handled it's self well and only suffered brake fade once, loved coming out of the the hairpin sideways and just managing to get it over the 100mph mark by the end of the straight. Porsche GT3 were passing me ... as was everything else... and the little buggies were incredeble. I'll up load some pics later. Sons of dogs come eat flesh

Oh and i love the girlzzzzzzzzzz!!!

Just got back from an evening event at Brands Hatch, they called it open sessions or something..............

Was a last minute thing for £99, which was great value.

What can I say.........whole host of fine metal there:

Lambo's
Porsche's
Caterham's
Subaru's

and a Veyron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a whole host of comments whilst we waited to go on...they were naturally admiring the HST's grands looks and were all getting rather excited about me going on with the "big boys".

At the off, I was absolutely myself, thinking, what if it handles like a bucket, my trackday experience was zilch, so did not know what to expect on the tight corners or how the 3 tonner would behave. The HST day at Gaydon back in 06 proved its stability, but they were professionals and knew how to handle them at top speeds and fast cornering etc etc. I on the other hand had only experienced 70mph on the motorway

Well, I took a deep breath and hoofed it out of the pits as if I knew what I was doing.....got to the 1st corner called paddocks or something and nearly had a kitten, the corner seemed to come up on you in a split second. Hoofed again on the straight and again and again and before I knew it, I had completed my 1st lap!!

After that, it was all a bit of a blur, but what a rush.......

One thing is for sure, I and the many others there were astounded how well the finest from Solihull behaved in both a straight line and on the cornering. After all, it may have the Sport tag on the back, but in reality it weighs a HUGE 3 tonnes, so just defies logic in reality.................

I for one was most pleased with the behaviour and even with the seat (had to get it in somewhere) confirmed 110% why I had bought the beast in the 1st place....it just does everything......and so well.  My Gladiators:
