The R32 would make a good sprint vehicle I reckon.

I'd be up for it depending on when it is.... :-)

Yes please, a place each for Beth and I! Nigel and I chatted about this last year and I twice e-mailed Curborough requesting booking information for FCCUK, but no reply either time.

I can't take the Coupe she doesn't yet get used in anger... but I could bring the Stilo..http://balancemotorsport.co.uk/blog just in case anyone thought they could cruise this would keep them honest. Is it timed but not an MSA event?

Not (officially) timed, and not really an event - just a few Coupe nutters hiring out a sprint track for some fun

i knew i needed two coupes...

Tempted, is a long way to go so would have to make some weekend plans!

Also tempted dependant on time and price . Although I would be in the Panda, but could persuade dad to lend the kit car. (Porsche might be pushing it :))

Depending on date I'm interested.

I'd be interested but not got the Coupe anymore.Will I be allowed

When was the last time anyone tried to contact Curborough to try and hire the track? Should we try them again so we can put a date up?

I might be interested depending on when and if I'm allowed to bring my M3.

All cars are welcome, I would love to see an M3 there, what M3 is it?

I'm up for this, depending on date - might bring my Alfasud Ti

It's an E46 M3 CS

its missing a letter Sean

Iain , it's an CS not the CSL

Is this event Spa for the masses?

No supercars, just the track and the craic. And it must be cheaper than Spa too.

Huw its just us there, and the previous costs are about £40

Im interested pending date and cost

But what's craic?

Is it used as a circuit? is it racing or just a few at a time?
Cheers

but spa is a proper f1 track and is worth every penny to be able to drive it , for those that have been will understand what I mean , curborough is a sprint track so you don't get to open the coupe up like at spa but is still a fun day out with good company .

check out www.curborough.co.uk

The track layout looks child-like, but its fiendishly difficult to put a good lap together - track knowledge counts for a lot but the real attribute for a good time is a car with low-down punch and good front-end grip. A stock Coupe on trackday tyres will give about the same time as a 350bhp Coupe on ordinary road tyres

Huge fun, especially in the wet, when you really get to learn about the limits

Track layout has changed this year, with a figure of eight layout available as an option

A figure of eight layout sounds the better option for the coupe .

Is it possible to tie this in with the AGM meeting?

I'll be up for this if dates are ok

good call Joe .

The figure of eight looks like fun.
Probably eliminates even more of the advantages of big power too !
That and a bit of rain please. Thanks

I think it will be the other way around on the figure of eight layout as your have a nice long straight for the bigger power coupes to stretch their legs but no rain please

I'm keen depending on dates.

Yep

I've made another attempt to contact them about booking an FCCUK date (keen to see how the Z4 gets on), will let you know if I get a reply.

No reply to my email but I was given a phone number and spoke to the course secretary.
Good news, we can book the circuit for a midweek date and have a good deal of flexibility with dates, however from Easter onwards it tends to be very busy.
Since FCCUK last booked the circuit things seem to have changed with regard to costs, we have two options, priced per car.

Full circuit, 10 cars = £650
Loop only (not using the start straight/curve), 15 cars = £750 approximately

They are still finalising exact figures, but this should be about right. Track time is 10am to 5pm with a mandatory 1 hour lunch break, giving 6 hours of driving time. Helmets are recommended, particularly for the full circuit, but not mandatory. I would collect and drop off the keys at the start and end of the day.

I'm happy to propose a date in March, maybe a Friday? I can rustle up additional numbers from friends and guys from the Z4 forum and Lotus Seven club if we are short?

Thoughts?

Something i would like to do pending dates etc.
Easter is quite early next year! so I cant do Easter but everything else depends on work and money!
Be good to finally get out to one of these events too!

There was seventeen on the list back in June so,in theory, we should be able to muster ten.
However we have always had room for none members on previous visits.
I'm ok for almost any weekdays.

Interested and would be in either the kit car or my Panda

What is the score with regards to sideways driving?

I'd be up for this Dave

also up for it (in the yobo scoob)

erm...nothing apart from the width of the track, and bugger all run off.

Won't be going sideways then lol

It's to be encouraged

I might bring my TS 75 then

That is good news indeed

I should add that it's to be encouraged by me, not sure what the official stance is.

With JBT

Who needs an official stance

I'll be up for any date Should have a new track car by then

Too late to join in?
I'm
Game in the m3..

I'm interested.

Me too

Thanks all, I'll get the Autosport show out the way this week and start a new thread with a proposed date for this in the spring.

I'm up for this

Will not miss it so I am in.
If it's a Friday then even better as I get off at 12

Great success

Please add your interest to this new thread asap http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1562703#Post1562703
