How much are these now?

Haven't been at one in a couple of years, the weather forecast looks dry and I'm off work

I read that on the website just there, seems a lot to rag your car around the track for fun and spend lots on rubber, fuel and brakes but it's the only way you can have no limits!

Small price to pay in reality for a full days fun. Karting must be about £60 per hour for ACTUAL seat time. You could easily get 4 hours up there and the craic is mighty!

I don’t think there is better value for money than Trackskills. When you weigh it up against just about anything else, it’s the cheapest by a mile in terms of £ per time in the seat

I’ll be there tomorrow as well, might not get out til afternoon though

Heres’s it’s transformation with me :grinning:

Clio 172 Cup track/sprint car build (pic heavy)

I bought this back in April as a project to ultimately do hillclimbs, sprints and Kirky track days. It was pretty rough, but very cheap and mechanically sound, actually a great little thing for silly money :) It has gone on a lot longer than I wanted due to a down turn in work, getting there...

No a standard 599, he only did one session and went home due to, in his own words, crap brakes. I was talking to him before he went out and neither of us expected Ferrari carbon brakes to be an issue!!!

Can't find where I saw it now, but I'm nearly sure I recently read something about bigger steel brakes being better on track than carbon ceramics, something to do with the technologies closing the gap which made ceramics so much better years ago.

Still suprised to hear that though.

I'll say hello next time.

It's the only Caterham 620s in Ireland as far as I know:joy:

Today was probably a one off, I like to do the very one on the bike or car. What where you in?
