Default S2KUK Airfield Day 19 June 2011

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY

All attendees are booked in for 5 September 2010 on a 1 Person Day using your own car.

DIRECTIONS

http://maps.google.c...055189&t=h&z=14

North Weald Airfield is off Junction 7 on the M11. Follow the signs for North Weald Market and this will take you straight to the airfield. There will be only 1 gate open on the day, next to the Air Traffic Control Tower. The person on the gate will direct you to where you will need to be.

You will need to bring your driving licence with you on the day. There are food facilities located on the airfield. The Day will begin at 9.00am and finish at approximately 4.00pm.

Please note that as your vehicle will be cornering at speed, you may need to inflate your tyres more than you would normally. Vehicles such as the Lotus Elise, Caterham etc are usually ok as they are lightweight and designed for high speed cornering, but cars such as Subaru Imprezas, Porsches, Madzas, TVRs etc are recommended to inflate their tyres to the maximum stated on the tyre itself to protect the side wall of the tyre. There is a garage just off the M11 roundabout (on the A414 towards Harlow) where you can do this before the event. We usually have a tyre pressure gauge so that you can decrease the tyres before your journey home!

ITINERARY

09.00am

Please arrive between 8.30am and 8.45am. This will give you time to increase the pressure in your tyres.

Meet on the airfield. Once most people have arrived there will be a briefing by the instructor.

9.30am - 4.00pm
A large group Day with the following activities;
High speed bend.
Small circuit.
Medium Circuit
Sprint Circuit included weather/time permitting

Lunch will be at a pub close to the airfield, at around 12:00pm. The cost of lunch is not included in the price


Prices are £40 for paid S2K UK members and priority will be given to paid members.

Please note, we are unable to provide a refund if you cannot attend on the day. If you wish to sell your place to another member, please feel free to advertise it on the For Sale Section of the forum.

We're looking at doing one every couple of months.


Could you email me the other dates you want to book, and we'll come up with some kind of system to arrange bookings

Great work with carlimits

Now we just need to sort something oop north too, and get a northern meet organiser (J_D!) so we can sort something up there too

Yup

There are two (three if time/weather permit) mini courses on different parts of the airfield. Each run is a single lap and is timed.
