    Don't get me wrong, IF i was older then 19 and could get decent insurance i would rather a S13 but as i said insurance is a no no lol And its becoming hard to get a clean one

    To be fair you won't be getting fantastic premiums on an MX5, especially if it's an import and trust me you'll want an import!

    Well my old GT was quite good at handling, much better than standard anyway (it actually turned) but the MX5 is stupidly good. I know a guy in the BDC with one, he seems to rate it a fair bit for drifting but I can't say I've done much myself.

    Tgtt Track Day No. 3 - Llandow

    in UKSO Main Events 2019

    Posted

    *************** TRACK DAY PRIZES ****************

    Yes you read that correctly, there will be prizes at this track day just like last year. It was a great addition to the day and adds a niced touch of excitement and community spirit. Some of our wonderful traders have entered into this and offered some prizes for you guys to win. Currently we have:

    - A reverse bonnet scoop donated by Aiden of EP Styling

    - A set of EBC Greenstuff front pads and standard rear pads (you may need them after a session on track!) donated by Iain and Ross of CR Developments

    *************** DEPOSITS BEING TAKEN ***************

    THE DATE IS SET FOR 3RD JULY 2010!

    OK, in order to secure your place on this most wonderful of track days I will need a MINIMUM of £45 as a deposit. It would be awesome if you could all pay up front but I doubt it'll happen somehow! Please send you paypal payments to uksam2000@email.com. I don't care whether you send it as a gift, money owed or just normal, all ways are good but whatever you chose make sure that I get the £45 in my account so add your fees on if needed (4%).

    PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME AND THE NAME OF ANY OTHERS YOUR PAYING FOR WITH YOU PAYMENT.

    If you want to use the camp site next door to the track you can find the prices and contact details here:

    The prices are very good so this may be worth a look.

    Hi Guys,

    I have decided that for the 3rd track day for TGTT I will try Llandow again. For those that don't know, this is in South Wales. The track is a lot of fun, and although it isn't the most technical track it is very good for novice track drivers and the atmosphere is brilliant for a club such as TGTT.

    Most on here will know that we were there in March 2009 and it was a great day. We had 38 members turn up to use and abuse their cars on track and the day proved very successful. Everyone had a great time and track time was plentiful.

    The sort of time I am looking at is June/July and it should be the same price as last time, which is £90 per car. It will also be on a Saturday. We are limited to 40 cars so please add your name to the list if you are seriously interested in attending (only if your serious please guys, it makes things very difficult if people back out when it comes to the payment!).

    I know that some people think the track looks "boring" but I'm sure everyone who was there last time can testify that it isn't. June/July at a track such as Snetterton or Castle Combe is so expensive for a club like us that it will make your eyes water, trust me I've looked into it all!

    For those that didn't see the thread for the last one, here is the track:

    Here is what Monkfish has to say about the track:

    "I do indeed have experience of that track. If is often regarded as a shit track because it is used for bikes. Not the case. If you've not done a trackday before, or have little experience with one, it's excellent fun.

    Start/finish straight is the one along the top, which leads into 'Bus Stop', the left/right/right/left/ complex. It looks easy, but it is difficult to master. Fuck the first corner up (Assuming you don't bail into the 'oh shit' lane) and it ruins the lines for the following 3 corners, and even the sweeping right that follows. The back straight is a long one over a slight crest. When I took The Bitch round last, I was hitting 90+ before braking for the chicane. The last corner, known as 'Glue Pot', is a fast right hander leading into the start/finish straight, again hitting near 90mph before entering the Bus Stop once again.

    It's a nice track to drive on. The only real downer is that it is quite heavy on the N/S/F tyre. The real advantage is how cheap the track is. It can often be half that of places like Donnington or Coombe. The sound limit is set to 105dB, but I'm fucked if I've ever seen a car tested there.

    The format for the day is usually two 15 minute session for each group (They usually split drivers up by experience, the novices in their own group, denoted with coloured bands) in turn, followed by an "open pit" format where up to 10 cars are allowed out at once.

    In short, it's a fun track. It's easy if you want it to be, or a challenge if you're pushing to squeeze time off your lap. The staff there are excellent and very helpful (being car/bike nuts themselves). There is also a go-kart track next door should you fancy a thrash round there. If you have any questions about Llandow, I'll be happy to answer. I can also do the photography there, as I have done several times before."

    Tgtt.com Track Day - Cadwell Park

    quite a good explanation for that is that a hell of a lot of poeple on here are also keen members of TGTT so what youre thinking to be there members are actually most probably shared site members lol

    I am well aware that many people are members of both, but I'm also aware that this site has an NA presence that TGTT doesn't really have.
