@ Carbon Black - the international takes all bar one corner of the National circuit and adds an additional 6 bends with (in an M5) I'd estimate a 110mph to 35mph stop. I don't think it'll be any easier on brakes and tyres!

I'm putting some new covers on the 523i this Saturday. Are a set of 4 225/55/16's with a little bit of thread of any use to someone for the day out?
Turns out the fronts were 215/55/16's, hadn't noticed that..! Whoops.!

I would prefer the international as I found the national circuit too tight with too much braking and very hard on the tyres.
anybody suggest a decent set of pads and fluid for the e39 M5 and where i can get them?

Any chance of setting a provisional date yet? Want to mark it on the calendar so that Mr's D doesn't get first dibs and decide it would be a good weekend for me to mow the lawn, paint the wall or something....!

if it does go up to the price that Brendan has mentioned then it is actually on par with the charge Mondello has for just the National (€170) amd much cheaper than their charge for the International (€200) for the afternoon.
C'mon folks, get ready to raid the piggy banks, spend the housekeeping, cash in the childrens allowance...

I'll be a newbie at this event, but would be interested in the international for the variety that the longer course would give, even if the cost is a bit higher.

...... i think I would be too. I'd go up to around E160 for the full circuit. how many others would be though? Whilst there is a bunch who have done the National, that sort of money might make the whole exercise a bit too expensive for those looking to introduce themselves to it. How many @ the last one were newbies & how many were seasoned campainers from the inaugural day I wonder?

If we book the full international circuit then cost could rise to €150+. Would people be prepared to pay that (I would  )...

@ Aidan - ahh yes - twas your beast of a yoke that was circulating wasn't it .... that's some car. You see all the M3s going around and ya go "yeah, some machines", but when I saw the 5 coming out of Dunlop and bellowing down the straight it confirmed the M5 is the daddy.
@ Killian - that's the set of corners I wanna have a go off - I reckon coming into the 1st right that you are coming from the fastest part of the circuit into one of the slowest - best get the Pagids fitted before then!

Head office should be given the heads up this time to carefully check whether people have ticked EUR100 or STG70, as they took STG100 from my VISA card. After bringing it to their attention they sent me back a STG cheque for the excess that took over 3 weeks to arrive, because they had used some very cheap postage. Then I lost out a bit then on the exchange rate and bank transaction charge plus the hassle of having to go into town into the bank. Don't mean to be b****ing, but these type of admin things shouldn't really happen.

Im working on it but we were fairly lucky about numbers last time. The club office (who has to fork out any balance not earned by participants) doesn't like seeing low numbers a fortnight before the day and therefore it is essential that as soon as the app forms are available, people must get their payment in.
The last day almost didn't go ahead due to a low level of people who had paid two weeks before the day!
If we can get a sufficient level of interest (& payments!) we will book the entire circuit - tarzan* here we come!
* tarzan is a double right hander, the first RH is at the bottom of a long downhill stretch!

Getting the full curcuit depends on whether we get enough numbers or sponsorship. At the mement we are far from having enough for the national never mind the international circuit
