Myself and GT Two are off to Bedford on Monday with MSV, Spa on the 27th with Bookatrack and Brands Indy on the 16th May (evening event) with Circuit Days. Would be great to see some other 964's out.

Yep - got the same mail. I'm not sure 24th suits me, so it looks like it may be refund time.

ETA : Very very impressed with BookaTrack. I answered their email saying I'd like a refund - they've mailed me back to say : Done.

Excellent customer service.

Looks like some of you guys beat me to posting this up. I've been working with Jonny of BaT for a week on sorting out a solution for us since he was given the news that the date was being taken off him.

Here are the details I was preparing to post.


UPDATE

The date of the trackday has had to be changed to Sunday 24th July


Unfortunately, Donington Park circuit have cancelled our original date of 10th July. It's very rare that this happens, but the venue have agreed a long-term contract with a major publishing company to offer car shows on the site and the only date they could agree on this year was the 10th July. This does sadly mean our event cannot go ahead on the original date.

The circuit have offered us Sunday 24th July 2011 as a replacement date and this does have one minor advantage in that it now avoids the clash with the British Grand Prix! Additionally, we have negotiated with the circuit to ensure we can hold the price of £250 for all Porsche & Boxa.net drivers and should be able to run this event with fewer cars - hopefully keeping it exclusive to the clubs.

Your options are as follows:-

1) Move your booking to the 24th July 2011. As a goodwill gesture we will provide a photo CD with all your images from the event free of charge.

2) Take a credit note for the full amount paid to be used against any other BaT event on the calendar.

3) Take a refund to your credit card.

In the short term all bookings and provisional bookings have been transferred to the new date but please reply to the e-mail that Bookatrack has sent you to let them know your preferred option as soon as possible.

Once again, please accept Bookatrack's and my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Especially if you can't make the revised date.

Shame you can't make it Dave but agree the BaT service is great. They worked very hard to get the new date when the original was taken off them but knew that it wouldn't suit all and therefore would be happy to refund those people.

Im not sure mines similar, I just background checked you to see your set up

The info says:

98dB Drive-By. Measured from track-side.

100dB Static. 0.5m and 45° from exhaust at ¾ maximum RPM.

Static tests are only on vehicles failing the drive-by noise limit. I would be so nervous!

Wish I had a noise tester, last thing I want is to be turned away

But isn't a G-pipe and cat bypass louder?
