Better Driving Days

   We have ideas for two themed Better Driving Days for next year and would appreciate your feedback to the ideas?  Plus would you attend?

Will be appreciated to determine the likely level of support.

Croft - 10th Anniversary - Monday 18th July 2005 - Nick Wright

As well as running the day to normal arrangements we have in mind to create a spectacle by inviting owners of M3 E30 and E36 race cars.

Linking into Croft's British Touring Car status, we wonder whether this would enhance the day to see these rare and historic cars on track?

As well - the Institute of Advanced Motorists will be in attendance to sit with members in their cars on local roads and provide a free assessment.  This could occur between sessions so that little track time is lost.

Cost:  �140.00 per driver and �20.00 per passenger.

Re:  CSL Day 23rd Anniversary - Monday 3rd October 2005

The object is to drive Silverstone but the track is frightfully expensive, and we would need a very good turnout.

The features of the day would be to witness the very rare and historic 1970's racing batmobiles out on track along with the new M3 CSL's.

We also intend to put on a large display of the 1970's CS Coupes and for them to drive a couple of display laps at lunchtime.

We are also hoping to have one of the new M5's on track as a 'Circuit Taxi' and driven by an Ex Touring Car Champion, this would be for two laps at a likely cost of �25.00 per seat - an unforgettable proposition.

The Institute of Advanced Motorists will also be in attendance as per Croft.

All this would be going on with normal driving sessions in 2 groups - experienced / fast drivers and novices group.

The cost would be �230.00 per driver and �30.00 per passenger.

Would you support this?

	Richard Truely excellent ideas, Croft = Yes Silverstone = Yes, any idea which circuit layout? I like the demo laps over the lunchbreak as this doesn't impact on the available tracktime. A link to this from the MPower Forum would be good. Cheers Kevin

	Kevin We would want to go on the full Grand Prix circuit. The club is rightly concerned that we would be unable to cover our costs being as they would be - very high. And also out of season. My take is that the circuit will market itself and with a spectacular event should be no problem. We would probably need something in the order of 120 cars split between 3 sessions that is almost twice as many who already turn up. Personally I feel we could get there particularly if we all promote the event and make it happen. It is the intention to post this on all the clubs forums but it would only allow me the 'one' so we will have to speak to Howard about this.
