Mike If you book this and see that the weather is going to be crap 3 or 4 days out, can you cancel and get a refund.  :happy2:

You can't get a refund, but you can sell your place or use it as credit towards another day instead. There's miles of run off on grass, so it's decent place to do even if it is raining.

So, man up! Last time I did Donny it was snowing and absolutely hilarious. Think cmdfire and Deako were on that day too, I'd just got my MK5 and rocked round on standard brakes, it was that cold they lasted all day!!!

P.S. you should sell me those Dunlops....  :wink:
Sideways yo!

You've really caught the track day bug Steve!!!  :happy2:

but be careful at Donny tho...overhead flight path for East Midlands Airport means the first corner at Redgate and then Craners is rather slippery at this time of year!

You will enjoy yourself tho that I can guarantee.  :smiley:

Weather, schmether!

On a serious note, you learn more about your car and ability on a wet track day than you'll ever on a dry. It doesn't rain inside cars either...
Sideways yo!

How come your name is not on the list on the circuit days website as an attendee?

Ah, it never updates properly. Could also be to do with me booking on the phone, rather than online.
