Following on from another post on this subject
This is the last time I will mention or post regarding trackdays other than I'll stick some pictures up of the day after the event
Next RAF Marham Track day is 14/15th of April - by invitation only (but you should know who to ask if you are interested)
Important point I'm only offering the 15th as an option
NOT the 14th
Price will be ~£60 for a full day
Morning is alternating sessions 30 mins each session
Afternoon is open pit lane 50 mins of avliable track time in every hour
The event is for charity
The track uses a combination of the airfield's main runway and taxiways resulting in a track that is around 4 miles long consisting of wide, smooth tarmac and concrete with lots of safe run offs – There will be approx 1 mile of the main runway in use with many sweeping curves and chicanes along the taxiways.
It will run from around 9am to 4pm on both days, split into 30-minute sessions. All the necessary facilities, such as toilets, catering, drinks, marshalling, medical and fire cover to support the event will be on hand, and RAF Marham’s gliding club will be operating for air experience flights.
You will need a helmet, normal seat belts as a minimum, and a fire extinguisher that will need to be secured in the car (that doesn't mean a plumbed in system). Race suits are not needed, but preferably natural fibre clothing with full sleeves and legs. Cars must be road legal with a current MOT or, if a race vehicle, licensed for a current MSA series.
Note there are no noise restrictions as RAF Marham operates far noisier fast-jets through the week! Sharing a car is OK (i.e. alternating drivers between sessions) and drivers are allowed to carry one passenger, but they must also comply with regard to helmet, clothing etc and be over 16 years of age.
The entry fee is per car entered, not per driver but all drivers and passengers will need to sign a disclaimer.
Spectating is not a possibility unless the individual is coming to assist someone who is driving - the reason for this is quite simple - the event insurance premiums and Health & Safety requirements go through the roof astronomically otherwise, so by restricting it to participants and assistants, it makes the event manageable, safer, more relaxed and enjoyable and importantly keeps the cost down to you.
It is important to note that the track does attract stones and if you drive directly behind the car in front along the main straights your car could be subject to stone chips. If you’re worried about this it is advisable to fit bonnet protection or drive with this in mind throughout the event.
The atmosphere and event is relaxed, enjoyable and safe.
Price is £60 per day or £100 for the weekend with every penny going to charity. We are expecting a high number of participants so it is advisable to get your name down early. Once we have all attendees’ details, payment information will be posted and we ask that prior payment is made to speed up the overall process.
PLEASE NOTE: RAF Marham is a front line operational air base and as such, any operational commitments on the 14th or 15th April would lead to the Track day being cancelled. This is however quite unlikely but prior notice will be given and any money paid up front would be fully reimbursed.
Important
For security reasons, every person entering the Base including all passengers must be security vetted in advance. To this end the organiser requires the following details from drivers and passengers by 16 Mar 07 to allow time for the security team to check everyone. The details required are listed below and it must be stressed that they will be held in the strictest of confidence:
Name
Address
Tel No.
Date of Birth
Place of Birth
Passport No. (if possible)
Car make and model (of towing vehicle if your car is trailored)
Car registration
NOTE Anyone arriving on the day that have not submitted their details will not be allowed entry to the Station. Anyone submitting details after 16 Mar will not be guaranteed a place.
Please can you send me the above details. By PM
Don't forget all the money raised goes to some very worthwhile charities!
Last year I did 150 circuit miles in the day
(I also used 75 L of Optimax )
