Re: Croft re match

147 carrying loads more corner speed than an Elise and an Evo 8, anyone?

Re: Croft re match

Update chaps

Been in contact and we have dates
Hi Tony

The track is only available for eleven days each year for motorsport events we are allowed five and the Motorcycle club six.

We run two trackdays and three sprints each year the first one being on the 2nd June the second on the 8th September, both trackdays are open to all with bookings on a first received basis.

Your members are most welcome to book for any of our trackdays and we have a band of loyal Alfa owners that enter each year.

The booking forms will be available online from about the end of February and I would advise early booking as numbers are limited and they fill up very quickly, this year they have been full with reserves well before the date (4 to 6 weeks).

I must point out that we only accept advance bookings and none are accepted on the day. Only passenger bookings are taken on the day.

Full information about our trackdays etc can be found on our website.

If you require more information please contact me either by email or on the phone numbers below.

Many thanks for your enquiry.

Regards

Re: Croft re match

Originally a Grand Prix circuit, graced by the likes of Moss IIRC. It was still used for single-venue stage rallies 20 years ago when I last visited it. Is it still used for competition as well as trackdays do you know?

OK AL

So far we have

1. Happy Man
2. Bobda
3. Stephendjb
4. Markg Q4
5. Tootes
6. Ode + 2 cars
7. Ghosty Dog
8. Acapluco Al
9. Sandys

It is very reasonable £99 for the day it cost us about £85 for half a day at Croft the more the merrier I say.
As soon as the dates are posted I'll blast a PM to any one that adds their name to the list.

The guy who runs it said they have a few regular Alfas new converts for AO me thinks

Not a chance, if you turn up we'll force you to be co-pilot in everyone's car and you can present an award ceremony at the end of the day (best rally driving, scariest sideways cornering style, etc)
