The event is organised by PLASA's Technical Resources manager Ron Bonner: "If you have ever wanted to drive your own car above the legal 70 MPH limit to see what it is capable of without being snapped by a Gatso - then this may be your big chance. The PLASA Technical Resources Office has reserved Silverstone for a day to hold a day of fun on the track. Included in the day is lunch and if you need it, tuition on how to drive your car in this environment. (Additional tuition fees apply)
"The day is provisionally booked for Friday June 26th 2009 - just a week after the British Grand Prix has been decided - and it is estimated that the full cost of the day and lunch will be in the region of £210-£240 per car (no additional charge for additional drivers.) Included in the fee is an added provision to use a couple of Lotus Elise's on the day for a bit of variety.
"If you have never experienced driving on a track before but always wanted to give it a go, then this will be an ideal opportunity as the track is perfect for novices and experts alike (and you won't have to worry if you think you will be slower than the rest of the field as there is no competitive element to the day)."
Attendees will be required to wear a crash helmet (these can be provided at a small cost) and although you don't need to wear Nomex fire retardant race overalls, you will need to wear long sleeve shirts and trousers (no shorts).
Normal insurance policies don't cover track use but there are specialist insurers able to supply insurance for your car for the day. "I will produce a guide to track days nearer to the day to make sure you get the best out of what should be a really good chance to have fun with your car and an ideal networking opportunity with other likeminded petrol headed PLASA & STLD members."
There is a limit of 40 cars. Places will be reserved on first come first served basis and if the day is over subscribed, a reserve list will be created.
