Japfest II - Donington 30th Sept

[strapping young lad]

picked up a leaflet from the Jtuner stand which was advertising the above although no mention of the event on the japfest website.

defo going! :)

[BraindG]

Yup, Nick will be sorting it out soon enough :)

Will be a cracker, thats for sure!

[g6acb]

Bl00dy hell...... the Mrs just booked our summer holiday this morning....... yep you guessed it......... away that day /Grrr

[WildCards]

I'll be there, and i'll deffo be on track :thumbsup:

[Spirit]

I may have to force myself as it's Donnington and my last attempt to get there was snowed off /Grrr

[strapping young lad]

not gonna venture on the track as im chicken! ;)

but i really enjoyed japfest, except for the food queues :(

spotted an evo 2 on fast car mag for 5k tonight though so im tempted! ;)

no dont think its the type of mag i buy, my brother bought it and thought it was pants so gave it to me.. women are alright but they seem to have a gentle climb rather than a steep mountain ... if you catch my drift

[BraindG]

Don't be chicken! we're not mad, and lot of us done it before so we're pretty safe. Perhaps if you go in suicide seat, err i mean passenger seat in the morning, and go out on second session in the after noon.. few of the guys that were virgins on Sat will tell you.. all goes away the minute you hit the first bend.

You can count me in too if you like - have done it for CVR4 in the past, and need to do something to earn my keep :uhoh2:

[Donovan]

[Donovan]

whoops..
30th of sept..damn , yeah I got some time.. , uhm..the cost? and where the heck is donnington..hm.

[amsoil]

Do we know if there are any noise restrictions on this one? (Bet there are) :inquisiti
The other one is would the organisers square it with Donington to let me do a 'demonstration run' at lunch time? Which is the outer on the noise limit bit. We can't have the aeroplanes being the noisyest thing on the day can we.

Just don't get suckered into trying to go at others pace, there will always be someone faster than you. Just go at a pace that you are confident with, then build up as you go along. This, however, is difficult on a limited session hence why full track days are such good fun as you can steadily build your pace through the day.

They are now selling advance tickets and tracktime ! http://www.carmags.co.uk/index2.html

[Physician]

They are now selling advance tickets and tracktime ! http://www.carmags.co.uk/index2.html

So ......... are we supposed to buy our own tickets and track time?

If we do, what level of experience are you guys choosing so that we are on track together? :thinking:

[Spirit]

Jane has just started a thread in the committee forum to discuss options Rich

[strapping young lad]

how long is a track session as i wouldnt mind cadging a lift of someone if someone is willing to look after my 2yr old?

[Simon]

Im struggling to see posts, messages, etc at the moment, do i need to do anything like upgrade software etc.....:inquisiti

I cant see what the score is about JF2 but i need to remove myself from any club track time/space that you might be arranging/doing.....we are coming but cant confirm much else.....Cheers

I know theres another thread.....but whats happening about suggested hotels etc.....:happy:
