VOLVOMAX bruntingthorpe 1/4s, 1/2s 1 topspeed runs

[scvolvo]

I'm in the process of organising a Volvo max speed event at bruntingthorpe, via my Facebook page VolvosportUK, this will be going ahead later in the year early next year.

It's takes a lot of organising and I've been inundated with applications having had to double the orignal number and still have people wanting to go from the page alone.

However I may make this into a very big yearly event if the interest is there or run two days.

Costs are not terrible either.

Could you post some details, please? I don't have Facebook account

I will update but currently a lot of planning is going on behind the scenes including hashing out details, but as things stand it's 100% happening

There'll be more than one rwd as it stands (date permitting).

I've finalised things with bruntingthorpe today and sorted what's needed.

Collision is required (track day insurance) which I've arranged a deal with got to £55 per car (over 10 cars)

£75 for track time of one hour for full track (based on 4 cars at once £300 per hour)

But that can be split 20 mins, rest, 20 mins rest 20mins brunters is hard on cars!

Permission for some area to have BBQ and tent as well

After a long chat with brunters this roughly how it works out

98bd noise limit stationary.

No damaged tyres, belts about to fall off or oil / coolant leaks.

1/3 of fuel is recommended.

Track day collision insurance is needed and cover to 5 million, I have arranged a discount to get the price to £55 and that's on 10 or more cars or you can arrange your own.

All the above will be checked prior to going on the track it is your job to make sure your car is ok, otherwise you will not be allowed to speed test and you will loose your payment as its paid in advance.

20 cars maximum £75 for 1 hours running the full circuit, you can decide how you use this i.e 20 mins sessions to allow your car to cool down in between as its hard on cars.

No timing gear is allowed and 1/4s can't take place, but if you want to do a standing start once or twice and then I think it will be fine as long as it's safe.

But you can hit the straight at speed and explore your cars potential like no other circuit in relative safety.

£130 total cost

Dates can only be booked one month in advance and I'm moving towards planning a date, remember it will be a week day with one months notice.

I'm thinking September / October, if it's raining then the day can be postponed and moved as long as it's not the day before,3 days notice-ish, I can't do anything about rain.

Me and my V8 are in, mate, just pm me where to pay money in

[scvolvo]

I've had lots of interest just obviously it's difficult for some people the short notice.

But it's a once in a life time opportunity as its a real pita to organise.

This will be full this time around
