Lauren 2259 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 You're already very late, Keith. Angers hotels book up faster than anywhere else as it's a popular holiday destination. We're staying all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 So where have you booked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 Well I've booked in at the Valley Anglesey (think I've taken the last room that Booking was offering, there could be rooms left via other companies) for £112 for 2 nights including breakfast. The Bull Hotel over in Llangefni (LL77 7LR) still have a couple of rooms left I think @£110 excluding breakfast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HariboPenguin 116 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 Do the TSS organisers allow spectators? I might pop along to watch if the weather is decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 Yes of course, it's amateur stuff so you can wonder around in the pits and even stand on the pit wall to watch as well as wonder around the outskirts of some tracks. Pop by, see what goes on and get the urge to get involved at some point 1 HariboPenguin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeps 294 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 All public areas are open to spectators so no issue walking around the paddock/perimeter at Anglesey. Last year I booked my hotel the week before, then booked a few extra nights on the fly while I was there to admire the roads. Might not risk it this time as one of the hotels was a bit ScoobyDoo. 1 HariboPenguin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HariboPenguin 116 Report post Posted July 4, 2017 Cool, I'll probably pop by then. Already have the urge just don't have the budget right now Planning on entering next year once I've got my car how I want it and a bit more on-track experience. 3 Keethos, Lauren and Neal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeps 294 Report post Posted August 2, 2017 £80 is a fantastic price to get a taster for what it's all about! Anyone want to hold a camera for a day (and sort 5k photos after?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cropzy 66 Report post Posted August 3, 2017 I might be going. If I did would I need track insurance? I read the site and the bouts are short and sweet, I am worried they would completely drain my tyres and brakes....would this be the case? Or would it be safe enough for me to drive there, sprint and then drive home without worrying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HariboPenguin 116 Report post Posted August 3, 2017 Oooh, this is pretty tempting now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should be fine to drive there, sprint and then home - that's what most people do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need track insurance - it'd be pretty expensive anyway (more than normal track day insurance) as it'll be classed as a competitive event. Sprints don't wear tyres / brakes much at all - you should easily get 10 sprint days from a set of brakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know anyone that gets insurance for a sprint. It's you driving on your own on track with the with the track to yourself. No need to crash! Anglesey is pretty wide with plenty of run off in most places. There's only one corner you need to watch really. I've done a whole season of sprinting and road driving on a set of brakes and tyres. There is little wear compared to a track day. I always drive to the sprint, drive home then go to work in my car the next day. Not a problem at all. I'd say, come along, have a go, drive within your ability and see how you get on. 1 cropzy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cropzy 66 Report post Posted August 5, 2017 I might do, then again I need a new set of shoes for my 86 I am worried that I might bin it lol. There is only 3 days left for the window as well :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is only 3 days left for the window as well :/ You won't do much in regard to tyre wear a the sprint. I would say more than 3mm is a mininum though. Get your booking in then buy some tyres is the other option. Please be mindful of ensuring you get MSA List 1A tyres though, so PS4's will not be okay. V105's are your best option for sprinting. 1 cropzy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 458 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 Or MSA List 1B tyres if you don't mind going in Pro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cropzy 66 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 I have like 2mm left so it's going to have to be a mis for this one. I would rather have new tyres first. By then I will know the car better as well. Plus Cadwell is closer as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 458 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 Probably same as normal bookings, not sure if you can have half price on the early booking price either. Just book it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
