[Aug 1, 2015] ClioSport Saturday 2015 (Blyton, Gainsborough)

[RMDavis]

Pm sent
@Diesel Davis @KrisRS182 Doing full day?

I'm not sure mate I might do.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Finally booked up.

Full weekend with PM track session. [emoji106] [emoji41]

Not sure wether I'd drive up Friday night... Probably 1st thing sat morning. Saves being sat in traffic all Friday night!

Buy a cheap tent or sleep in car..... hmmm.

 

[DaveDreads]

For the sake of £20 quid in Go Camping or The Range it's worth it, screw being cooped up in a Clio.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Yeah. Not bothered with cost.
Just thinking if it's raining a cheap tent will suck and the clio probably more comfortable than the floor. Lol.

Need to work out how to remove rear seats too. Tried before but couldn't get to the bolts.
Would be easier without seats carting the tyres up there.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

@Cookie is an expert with those pop up tents. He will advise you on the pros of them :up:

Those bolts that hold the lower seat bar in, are a real nightmare to remove. Mine were seized solid!
P.S Glad your coming along dude!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Their great. But only in sunshine as their single skin they will let water in.

I'll probably buy one, if it's dry I'll use it. If not I can return it.

Pop-up tents? Mine has been through thunder storms and has never been a problem.

Ha ha. Those are the ones. My spanner choices are very limited too. Yeah. I gave up quick before.


Yeah. Will be nice to meet you and a load of others from here. Names to faces etc. [emoji41]

Ah. Fair enough. I heard someone talking about them before saying they leak bad as single layer. Maybe their better these days, or maybe his tent resembles a sieve.

 

[DaveDreads]

My £20 quid pop up tent worked perfectly in the pissing rain, they're perfectly waterproof.

 

[Cookie]

Death to pop up tents.

 

[Matt W]

My purple pop-up also worked ok in the rain. It's the condensation that gets you though!
I've got a proper tent this time, spent a week in it in Germany although it's only a two person so bloody tiny!

 

[loggyboy]

Would a non-member be able to go out on track if there is space?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Anyone can book track time. Tell them to book it now to make sure he gets a slot :up:

 

[loggyboy]

In a non Renault? ( I assume ok as there are several others on list)

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah definitely fine mate. The more the merrier :up:

 

[wozza182]

Looking forward to finally meeting you brosef! You camping/boozing with us on the Saturday evening?

Unfortunately I'm not. I've got the other half coming along. But looking forward to the day. I've got the car to just how I want it now.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

No worries mate. Look forward to seeing you there. Make sure you come and say hi :up:

 

[DaveDreads]

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yep we are all camping mate :up:

And we will all be there Friday as well :wink:

 

[Nik]

For people wishing to camp on the Friday night, site access will be available to anyone with a Camping ticket (pink wristband) from 5.00pm.

Full details will be in the letter enclosed with your tickets.

Ok. Great.

When are the tickets dispatched? A week before?

What circuit layout is it? There's 3 odd variations.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah tickets will go out about a week before.

I've emailed Javelin to confirm what the circuit layout will be. Hopefully know tomorrow :up:

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Cheers mate.

Much excite!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Cheers mate.

Just had confirmation that the layout will be the outer circuit :up:

Track looks good!

 

[Nik]

Good news, we've just been able to slightly revise the track time schedule for the day, which will add an extra 15 minutes of running to each session!

Please note the slightly earlier start to the AM safety briefing, and shortened driver sign on time, so it's imperative that AM session drivers arrive promptly. Javelin have asked me to inform you that if you miss the briefing, it may be an hour or more before you can get individually briefed and out on track.


Track Schedule (revised):

• 8.00am - 8.30am - Driver Sign On
• 8.30am - Safety Briefing AM
• 9.00am - 12.30pm - Morning Track Session
• 12.30pm - 1.30pm - Lunch Break
• 1.00pm - 1.30pm - Safety Briefing PM
• 1.30pm - 5.00pm - Afternoon Track Session

Track Layout:

 

[DaveDreads]

The camping area looks tiny!

 

[Nik]

There's loads of room, don't worry, that hangar is massive. Those labels are Blytons but not necessarily the areas we will be designating for camping / cars / entertainment etc.

 

[DaveDreads]

Ahh right, so they've basically given us the run of the place?

 

[Welsh.Dan]

May be of use to anyone looking for a cheap helmet.... spotted these in halfords for 40:

Quite comfy and handy that you can try them on and I may get one as a last resort. Will try some bike shops.

I mail ordered and had to pay return postage twice as they didn't fit.

 

[DaveDreads]

Full face helmets are so hot even on a cold day, I don't know how racing drivers don't die in hot countries.

 

[Chris91]

If tickets are going a week out before, I'm not going to be at home, am I able to change postage location?
