It used to be a half day with bags of goodies to take home, having said that it's still great value for thrashing someone else's car around a track. Count me in.

Correct it was also £95 at that time
Then we realised everyone just wants the track time so hence the price cut to £35 therefore also more people can get involved

Guys if you are coming please come and say Hello

Yep I did that one and didn't really enjoy driving an insignia at an inflatable just to see if the ABS worked. The cosra obstacle course was fun though. And the BTCC changing wheel was a bit dull.

I much prefer the 1 hour on track format so well done for listening to the majority Doug.

I will see you there or at the Orchard for the next Ace meet?

Going to go for the 1 hour session with the Corsa Clubsport, for £35 it's a bargain. Not sure on a date but i will be at Silverstone as Thruxton is too far.

You get to drive most of the VXR range. Last year they had the Corsa VXR, Nurburgring VXR, Astra VXR and Insignia VXR. The Nurburgring was most fun but I liked the Astra. Insignia was fastest on the back straight. In previous years thy have had the VXR8 there too which as powerful as it is doesn't really cut it on the track.

Agreed Anglesey was awesome only problem it was an **** for everyone to get to.
We were also spoiled with the weather that year too think i hot sun stroke hahaaaa

Yes as above for the 1 hour you basically jump car to car its your choice.
We used to have VXR8's on track as above but i agree they were wasted on track and that was when they were a £30k car and we had compounds full of them

But now our new VXR8 with 576bhp is a £55k factory order only from australia and we only have 2 company ones around and one is on my driveway as we speak hahaaa
So unfortunatly will be static only at the trackdays

I climbed all over the estate one last year and it's not too bad in terms of build quality.

Yep epic performance and lots of fun. Shifting a 2 ton estate car round and having a dab of oppo is a very interesting experience. In MDM-500 Sport mode it was a beast.

Here's a taster from last years Thruxton Hot laps. I bet you didn't think a Corsa could be driven as a RWD :D
