Track layout

What layout will be used as Rockingham has several!
Im hoping it will involve a bit of the oval ;-)

Hopefully I will have a ZS 180 by then aswell....

Hi Matt,

I notice on the forums you're hankering after 180, so good luck in finding one

I believe we are using the 1.7 mile National circuit, sadly that doesn't include any of the Oval. But by all accounts I've heard it is still technically quite a challenge

Have a look here, http://www.rockingham.co.uk/about/circuits.asp

Yeh, Im after a 180 or may even turbo the 120. We shall see.
Shame the bank wont be used, but as you say the national circuit is a challenge! Driven it twice in a Cooper S and Lotus Elise and it was immense fun!

Just come across this thread which was posted whilst we were on hols.

I just checked the contract and it says we will be using the International sports car circuit - Exactly the same as the BTCC guys the day before so it does take in a bit of the oval. Hopefully we'll have less offs

Fran is trying to negotiate an MGoT discount for any that might want to take in the BTCC in the same trip.

Well done Tim, just hope your not tempting fate with the last line

Also well done treasurer Fran, good luck, could be a bonus weekend for those going.

BTCC as well would be cool

mattie007 · 12-02-2010, 20:06

That would be awesome as I only live 5 minutes away!

This sounds really good, Donna is due with our Bambino on 8th May

, so as a precaution ill miss the track day

. But I will probably be at the BTCC anyway so hope to see a few members there.

Last year if you took your Silverstone ticket to the (later) Rockingham race, you recieved a discount. Dont know if this will be the case (discount @ Silverstone) this year but thought it worth mentioning.

Picked up my ZR today, cant wait to get her on track.

hope i can make this event, rockingham is an excellent venue, good facilities and nice clean, smooth track.

will instruction be available on the day?

just hope the car is ready in time.

MGoT has not been to Rockingham before so it will be an experience for us all.
Yes, all our events have ARDS instructors available, and at a jolly cheap price too. Reserve it with your booking to avoid missing out.

There's just a few final details to sort out now so expect to see booking opening here soon

Good luck finishing your car.

Tim
