Anybody fancy this? I'm planning on going although not actually taking part in the paid track day laps.

I'm planning to go, not sure whether I'll come in the Excel or the VX220 though yet. Martin.

I'll be along in the Excel. Provided cars still happy to play ball. 😀.

Only planning to do the lunch time lap, but we are still hoping we might be able to arrange a short session with just wedges on the track to celebrate to 50 years of the Elite release.

More wedges the better.

Thanks for your replies. Would anybody else planning to bring their Elite along please let me know? To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Elite we will have a reserved parking area and a dedicated parade lap. We’d also love to see other Grand Tourers there as well, as it is the 50th anniversary of the whole range of cars.

Cheers, Richard

I'll have to check the calendar with the boss, but I'd love to bring my Elite along if I haven't overlooked a diary clash.
