£269 Free drinks, Snacks, Photos and Tuition. Good TDO in my experience. Usually an interesting mix of cards.

Limited numbers.

Ouch. Expensive in comparison to their usual days.

Limited numbers day. He says they are running 30 cars less than some TDO's. That may be the reason.

It's on the short circuit, so I guess that's part of the reason why.

Anyone doing this on Friday?

[Hark]

Looked at it, but a bit steep for me at the mo. Think I'm going to book the one end of October. Whole day is £130

Dave Woodall is very open about the numbers of cars on his trackdays

No VX involved hopefully?

[siztenboots]

shame about the news of the accident

[VXT Tim]

No, m3 into the back of a Porsche. Porker didn't come off too bad, front corner of the m3 a complete mess, police turned up oddly. P11 cov looking quick out there. Very busy day though and some questionable driving as far as I can see, smash aside.

Hope it was a case of poor use of mirrors, rather than inappropriate racing. Police turning up? V strange. Everytime I've been to Donington they always warn of the run up the hill from the old hairpin and people going for the overtake under the bridge, a notorious spot for accidents apparently.

7 or 8 red flags, I lost count! Most were mechanical though. There were a lot of race cars there practicing for something this weekend. Also a BMW meet. I'm sure I saw a thorney BMW. The accident was quite early. You certainly need to be a bit more aware than at some track days. They did reprimand a few people though. I had a rather bizzare tuition session. The guy was very pushy, kept grabbing the steering wheel to Correct my line and telling me to put my foot down. I felt quite out of my comfort zone at times. It did make me realise there was a lot more speed and grip in the car than I was accessing.

I missed that. Ran out of fuel at 4.40. How come you managed all day and only got flagged at the end? Short shifting earlier?

Braked a little well alot late for the S bend at the end as a saxo and an M3cls decided to try and block us, i guess we were still on acelaration past the sound meter. great day almost ruined by that Astra Vxr which on a few occasions looked like he was moving over then darts back blocking you nearly causing an acident several times.
