Oh, and I forgot to mention..

There is a fleet of circuit cars available for hire at Croft..

Half a dozen race prepped 944 Turbos,

Four Ginettas,

and a brace of the latest supercharged Mini Coopers.

 

They all come with your very own personal Croft instructor strapped into the passenger seat, and if you book the full day you can even swap cars if you get bored!

If you want to book one please let me know, the cost is an extra £250 which aint bad when you consider how much wear you can subject the tyres and brakes to, the petrol that you will use and not to mention your very own tutor for the whole day.

Bedford is now off!

The circuit charge is way dearer than last time and more than we can afford.

so now it's Hethel, Lotus' testing circuit on Saturday March 22nd.

Not at Croft and some of the others... Cadwell is an exception... we do insist on full membership though.

Near Norwich I think... all the info should be in the newsletter that we have all had..

You could always give Andrew a call in the office, he will have everything you want.

Sorry I'm so vague, but I'm not involved with this one now, as I wont be able to attend.

It is up near Norwich, pretty good fun circuit with lots of run off but the artificial chicanes (cones and tyres) can be quite intimidating if you let them be...

They have a few road surfaces too as it's predominantly a test track as opposed to a race circuit, if you get a chance to go out with the lotus guys do so as they are mentalist - even in a ford focus!

I got taken round by Martin Donnelly last year and he's more mentalist than the lotus guys Brilliant fun.
