The track day will be on the afternoon of April 29th on Mondello's National Circuit. Due to Mondello costs, it will cost each driver €200.
There will be two groups - a novice/low power group and a higher power /more experienced group. The groups will go out for ~15 minutes while the other group pits for a quick break and let their cars cool.

Once I have definite details about the spring date then I will approach the NI crowd as well as some dealers with the view to reducing costs.

Sorry to hear that Fey. B.T.W. guys i'm trying to flog the scoobie, so i'm not trying to drive it at mondello intentionally. I just dont want to trash the e39 especially when it is in such good condition.

 I feel for ya, Fey. That's a stones.. a 5 Carat Triple-Zero Stones!

Haven't got my exam timetable yet but they're on between May 1st & 19th... At least I'm clear for the BDD, though I need to get the head into the books now if I'm to have any hope of a clear conscience come April 29th!

I am now officially depressed.  Last night I got the time and date of my final exam.

11am, April 29th.

I was so looking forward to trying out the car in it's current sate to see if I could beat old times in it.

And the now infamous "Richie Burgers".

Now I'll be sitting in an exam hall trying to tell the difference between a refractometer and a dichoscope!

tis getting close lads.. I can smell the cooked brakes already!!! Can't wait to get M3 out..

I hear ya about the E39, Ado. Not the most ideal motor to have out, but better than sooooooo many other cars, it not not ideal either, if ya get me!  And if ya wanna go out, tis your only option @ the mo! Time to invest in an E30 325i 4dr SE for peanuts and strip it out / fit an LSD?

Is it me or does the form say a €200 deposit? How much is it going to end up costing?

Sure, it will do the job, but I suppose to be honest I dont want to put it through that kind of hardship again. I do want to take part but i'd prefer not to use the e39. I'm sure Richie and Topazman know what i'm talking about.

Not suited to track use? Ask Fey!, I am sure he has a different opinion of that. He was throwing the thing around the last time. 

Great fun for me as a passenger. We need more 5 series anyway, damn 3 series drivers...

ahh, only BMW cars allowed. I was hoping to drive the Subaru as it is lighter and more nimble. The e39 is a better allround car but isn't really suited to track use. Anyways, i'd prefer not to subject it to that kind of abuse. It was only nct'd recently and flew through with flying colours.

Ado - I'll have the forms ready on Monday.
paddy - there will be no new memberships on the day as this encourages the idiot element to come down and join up so they can get out. If you can sort out membership before then I will know who is a member even if your card etc hasn't arrived.

I am really hoping to join up...but can you clarify whether or not people can join up on the track-day? I am willing to take a day off work to pop down to get membership, and maybe a spin on track!
