At the moment I don't know anything about it, but could be the chance of a lifetime!
How bloody fantastic! I'll keep me fingers crossed for you.....would it be in your Volvo?

Newbie here,

Might be interested in the track day, just one Q, are there any safety requirements for the cars, or can you run them as stock?

Stu.

Default Final Call For Trackdays

Right then, Finally I have the details. Because RAF Marham is an operational fast jet station then the details have only just gone final. The Dates are 2nd and 3rd of Sept, Sat:Bikes and cars (seperate) Sun:Cars only. £40 sat, £60 sun. The track is top quality because its operational, the runway is Baby Smooth for 1.25 miles! Then into some long sweeping high speed bends (100mph+) and some twisty bits. The track is 4 miles in total and the sessions are run with open pit lanes so you can enter and leave as many times as you like during the sessions! you will get loads of track time, you will get bored before you run out of time. All you need to do is ring 01760 337261 ext 7205 to register, easy. Remember, its all for charity!
See you there, (Georgeydee, Safety Car 1, 854R).

We have around 80 cars coming to this event now ranging from an Enzo to an AX GT so anything is welcome (honestly) it's all about having fun. A rough idea of what's turning up is: Loads of Lambo's, 2 or 3 volvo R's 850,s60 and s70, an Enzo, Ultima GTR's, 911's, lotus's and tunned up Jap Cars to name but a few! See you there!
