Orlando Posted 19January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 19January, 2017 Guys will you do a dot point summary for interstaters of anything out of the norm from normal track regulations. The Prep Night will be a beginners night, going over track basics. If you have any track experience you should have covered everything previously.Because the night will feature a short "scripted" talk, most of the night will progress organically from peoples experience levels and questions. Due to this nature we won't be providing any "lecture notes" so to speak. There will be an initial safety talk from Driver Dynamics on the day that will also cover basics, as well as their instructors being available all day for any questions, in addition to the NINEAUTO guys who will be there with a garage on site ready and willing to field any specific car related questions/services.If you have something specific you want asked before the event I can make sure it gets asked on the night and let you know the next day.Of course people are welcome to make their own notes so you might be able to get something from someone who's going. I'll update the list of attendees tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno Posted 23January, 2017 Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 I will be helping out on the night - there is nothing in the documentation I have seen that says an extinguisher is a requirement for this event.This is an advanced driver training event, CAMS rules are not involved, it is up to the organisers to set the rules.

Mike-S Posted 23January, 2017 Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 In. Need to have a chat to Stu anyway ?Extingusher? Really? If it catches fire I'm letting it burn....may sound harsh but I've had a rally car catch fire and those poky cabin extinguishers are next to useless.

Mike737 Posted 23January, 2017 Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 Don't think it's mandatory, but if you do it will need to be up to standards. I'll double check on it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFE Posted 23January, 2017 Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 I've done similar driver training/track days before and what's needed is the crash hat and clothing. No no need for additional bonnet straps, extinguishers or to remove spares bla bla blajust bring your street car with an empty boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 23January, 2017 Report Share Posted 23January, 2017 Interesting comments!So if it catches fir while you are on a track is your car covered by your insurance?It's a trackday, I doubt you have any kind of insurance cover.My comment may sound flippant re: the extinguisher, but I've got past experience of trying to put out a car fire with one and unless you're *very* quick, they're next to useless. The damage caused is enough (generally) to render the car a massive pest to renovate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
