Hi Guys
The M Power Club will be running a BDD as well. So contact the office to book your place on the track.

Do we know if the BDD will be on the road circuit / OVAL / or both ?? The club office didn't seem to know when I called them
Cats know your every thought.

But don't care.

Hi David
Sorry I have not replyed before but this Rockingham do is taking up all my time. No resone you shuold not take you car on the track you may not be as fast as the M3s. I have be told you can learn a lot about driving on the road from track sessions. Remember you must have all your documents for the road to go on the track. You should have track day insurance if you bend it you are not covered. Hope you can come its going to be a great day.

Regards

Hi Its me again just a generale thing on Rockingham please help us on the committee and book your track and entrance tickets ASAP with the club office. Hope to see a good turnout how many of you are going? I know there is a large number from the e30zone coming, yes I know that includes a lot from the register. Look forward to seeing you all on the day

Forgot to answer you question whats a Show & Shine its a lesser version of concours. It includes modified cars but you car must be VERY CLEAN. In side and out and a bit of under bonnet cleaning goes along way.OK?

This is my first Better Driving Day, so I have questions about a helmet (which I do not currently have): I understand a helmet is required on the track.

What specification/standard does the helmet have to meet?

Can I rent (or borrow) one on the day?

If I can borrow or rent, should I buy one now anyway (assuming I don't frighten myself at Rockingham), ready for this event and hopefully future events?

Thanks    Dave
