Have you read why it’s went up? £145 for a days craic is still good value for whats involved.

 

[pablo]

Its a shame but we knew it was coming due so not unexpected

Yeah was there both days. Guys we’re giving off cause mishaps like those only got them 45 mins track time ( 3 sessions ) for £120.

A days testing down there is £150 so safer renting the track in private. Just my 2p

 

[pablo]

personally I like having medical professionals on hand.....

 

[max1871]

Always nice to have someone there to pull you out of a burning car too when you run out of talent.. driving round kirkistown on your own would bore you to tears good to have a bit of competition

I know alot of people are complaining for the price increase but lets face it Trackskills team have took all the damage charges out of there own pocket, where it should be up to the driver of the accident to sort out, even on a private test day if you've an off your responsible for damages plus youve none of the marsahls for assistance or the medical team!

theres also alot of time involved after an accident in doing the repairs that most people dont see, the last off with the Rx8 at the Chicane took 4 days to fix and it was on the cuff of the race meeting needing to be cancelled the following weekend if the repairs weren't complete in time, even i was down the day after giving the guys a hand in getting the repairs done aswell as Donal

it seems a lot but its still good value for money for a days outing

I think it would be best for everyone if you just booked a private test day.

 

[acsmyth]

It's an expensive day out regardless of a £25 increase, that's like 5 laps worth of fuel in an Evo

As with paying for damage to the track, if it encourages some folks to not push beyond their limits then happy days. Nothing worse than paying £145 then getting 1 session due to the track being closed.

Won't be making this one unfortunately, think it'll be May before I get a chance to get down.

We have a nice selection of cars booked so far. Track Skills - Providing Track Days for cars at Kirkistown Race Circuit in Northern Ireland - About Us

You can book by emailing donal@mulsanne.co.uk or just book online.

Due to insurance restrictions, the 500MRCI has now banned "private" motor cycle track days, which were basically just a bunch of guys hiring the track. If they want to privately teat, riders must have an MCUI race licence to be covered. This may well be coming down the line for cars as well.

 

[pablo]

So we might need a race licence to do track days? What’s involved in getting one?

"So we might need a race licence to do track days? What’s involved in getting one?"

No, you will not need a race licence to do track days that are organised by track day companies, who are fully insured. Like Trackskills or Kirkistown Track Days.

Ah sweet. Ballache averted

 

[Neil_M]

These are always fantastic days out.

I doubt I'll make the first one... I'm not finished the winter rebuild, I also need new tyres.

 

[Les Graham]

How'd yesterday go?
Many there?
