Right it's not a normal RRG - honestly I'd done a few of these now and it's not normal at all - drop outs total just 2 (normally we'd be in double figures) - my email is like the marie celeste So work decided to send me to Spain for a few days and I was worried about slotting in reserves...... Guess my inbox is gonna go nuts now Are the reserves filled in first come first serve from when they sent their application in?

Nope - I've allocated a number to each reserve - I contact them in that order as I need a reserve space filled

What are the track rules on car etiquette? This is from a few years ago mid transplant so many things have changed. Four bolts and the thrilly bits are exposed.... possibly too far though?

Fine taxed worse - only one car on track at a time dollywobbler disassembled his 2CV over a morning session once Nearly got to chassis and one seat in his quest for a better time - didn’t have the heart to tell him no timing

Will a phone screenshot of the MOT status and insurance status suffice or do you want printouts?

Right - last heads up just in case - we have had a few people who have been offered slots - had reminders sent re slots - and final "chase email" regarding the fact they hadn't paid yet Email Went Midnight tonight they get replaced with eager reserves

I am delighted to have been selected for a run or three up the Hill. Thank you so much!
I’ve read all of this thread now but have still managed to find another question - sorry!
I see that you mention a car with two drivers being entered in both morning and afternoon sessions, with a different driver in E each session. However I never found anything about entering two drivers at all and being new to all this just entered my cab and myself for the afternoon session.
Now I’d like to know if there’s anyway I can share that one session with a second driver, please?
And if I can what details do you require before the day regarding the second driver?
I can confirm that he is a named driver on my car insurance, in fact I think that he thinks his name is on the logbook too 😂 But then he does keep them all running for me..... 👌

Most Trackdays it’s roof down/open. Which is very sensible from a safety point of view. So far it hasn’t rained on me! But.... do I bring my wet-weather gear?

I can confirm that he is a named driver on my car insurance, in fact I think that he thinks his name is on the logbook too 😂 But then he does keep them all running for me..... 👌 Good question Yes you can share a car in a single session It has happened before (I’m thinking we have definitely had husband & wife, boyfriend & Girlfriend and also Father & Son) you just get less runs per person as a result - ie say afternoon runs well and car gets 4 runs - driver A gets 2 runs and driver B gets 2 runs. Sign on is the same on the day - car needs to be insured for both drivers (docs to show this), both drivers need licence. The applicant gets to just sign and date the form - a second driver has to complete all the same info by hand. So looks like in your case there will no probs at all.
