              To start things off, a few of us are so keen on getting back for a blast round Donington that we've booked:

              Monday 13th August evening (5.30 pm till 8.30 pm) with Bookatrack (£135). it will be the national circuit again.

              Those booked on are:

              1. Boxsey (Steve)
              2. Oldtimer (John)
              3. Asbi (Kevin)
              4. Cheeksyboy (Grant)
              5. RSVP

              13th gives me something to aim for

              Not sure the 964 will be back in one piece by then. New clutch is in the UK but customs seem to have taken an interest in it so who knows when I'll see it! And the datsun is sat waiting for my welding mojo to return - no chance that will be ready

              I have just booked onto the Club MSV day at Brands Hatch on 16th August. Its the Grand Prix Circuit rather than Indy circuit which is only open to the public a few times a year. Be rude not too then!

              I've not done that one myself but by all accounts the full track is fabulous. £350 is a pretty decent price too. We'll need a full report about it.

              p.s. there's not as much run off as Donny.

              Nice one BU, not done the GP track myself either in a car (rode it on my paddock bike as a kid!).....

              ...you also need to note the noise level!

              101db static, 92db drive-by.

              Yeah should be good. I am liking the prices on the evening sessions as well so might book in for one of those on the Indy circuit. Brands is just down the road so is great for convenience.

              Shall take plenty of photos and may even look into a Go Pro as the videos do seem cool.

              I reckon i will be bang on those noise levels.......fingers crossed and minimise red line action in 3rd which i think did me on at Donny.

              Boxsey - i merely rolled back into the kitty litter to make sure i didnt impede anyones progress ))) LOL

              FYI Oldtimer is booked on the Porsche evening session (Indy circuit) on 21st August.

              This is a great idea. It's good to see dates in a thread like this, and it's nice to know that there will be 964s there.

              I've got some leave due this summer so will try and get over to the UK for one or perhaps two of these.

              It's a couple of years since I was on track - will I have any noise issues with a G-pipe?
