Trackskills at Kirkistown.

[V8]

Hi Folks,

This is an update on the current situation at Kirkistown.

Right now there is no activity at all allowed at the circuit.

This may change slightly this incoming week. By slightly, I mean that there may be some very limited testing allowed. The race scheduled for Saturday 24th has been postponed.

Our track day this Sunday is not permitted to go ahead.

The following is a graphic issued by SportNI and the Department of Communities.

As you can see, we may (should) go into Phase 2, sub-step this Monday 12th. That should allow very limited testing. The 15 adults includes every single person on the site.

I would expect that we would have to be at the sub-step stage before we, as Trackskills, might be allowed to operate.

Consequently, I am unable to give a probably date for our return to action but I am optimistic that our May date will happen.

Cheers!

Donal.

Give me a shout to the garage mate I’ve to plug this in to the electric mains to get the oil up to temperature before we start it. Hassle but I’m sure it will be worth it lol

Newtownards. There is only normal unleaded close to the circuit (Kircubbin or Portavogie).

Most people bring a couple of Jerry cans.

First track day in a long time and first in the VX, very enjoyable. Great photos Steve.
Shane a Check engine light brought me home a bit earlier than planned

 

[GT_MAXER]

Yea was a great day out. Weather was amazing and we'll run as always. Some absolute weapons on track, the Subaru went not too bad, still trying to crack that 1.06 mark loads of laps done each session and a good few battles.
Oh and thanks to James in the yellow Evo for a lend of his laptop to download software to allow me to adjust my fueling lol
