I have asked them if we can have a club stand, received no reply either by email nor returned call. Will try calling again, but expect no response again. If I manage to organise a club stand will update the post.Are we having a club display Vadim? Do we buy tickets as individuals and hope they park us together? Have I missed this information somewhere?
Suggestion is to meet up, convoy and park together.
Buy tickets online in advance

How about 1st or 2nd Sunday of November for Denbies?

Denbies would be very happy to host us and will give us allocated parking space.
Please let me know if you prefer particular date for this. I am thinking Sunday in November as there are very few events then.

Event Title: Autumn Motorsport Day @ Brooklands Museum
Event Author: VAD17
Event Date: 13.10.2019Autumn Motorsport Day
Brooklands Museum
Sunday, October 13th
Now a firm fixture in the motoring calendar, visitors to Autumn Motorsport Day get a double helping of action. Competition cars from all ages will be put through their paces on the adjacent Mercedes-Benz World circuit and later in the day Test Hill will be in action. Expect to see a wide variety of competition cars from Formula 1, F5000 and GTs to touring cars and Group B rally cars. As ever, spectators will have the rare opportunity to see and hear competition cars at close quarters.

Will aim to arrange convoy to be there by 9am closer to the date.
Let me know who's joining

I guess we can always meet and convoy to arrive early enough to park together
Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
I tried both e-mail and calls, no response at all
I guess we can just try to arrive together just before 9am and see if we can park up.
I will put Autumn Motorsport Day, Oct 13th, in the calendar as a separate entry.

I had one previously (bought from Amazon.com was smth like $25). Strap looked solid (multiple cross stitched) but colour became pale after less than a year.
Currently have Cusco tow hook.
The tow hole in pre-2017 and 2017-onwards are different

I have actually asked whether we can get a club stand or at least a dedicated parking space.Not sure we fit the bill for the autumn classic breakfast but the autumn motorsport day sounds possible. I tried to book a club display at that event last year, but they did not return my email.

Some more ideas
Denbies
- this weekend Sep 14th-15th (for those not going to Yashushi show) its Surrey Hill Food Festival. May be busy but we can arrive early
https://fantasticbritishfoodfestivals.com/surrey-hills.html
- don't think its worthwhile going for one of the experiences at Denbies, we can select a "quieter" weekend and arrive a bit earlier top park together.
Brooklands Museum
if we want to select a day with an event:
- Sunday Sep 22nd - Aviation Day
https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/whats-on/aviation-day
- Sunday Oct 13th - Autumn Motorport Day
https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/whats-on/autumn-motorsport-day
- Sunday Oct 27th - Autumn Motoring Breakfast

39 minutes ago, Luke said:Hmm I can't make the 12th, 13th, 19th,20th of October. What about the 16th, 17th November?
I am at Silverstone on Sat, Nov 17th for a track day (Anyone would like to join?) and would need to keep Oct 19-20th and Oct 26-27th free for school holidays.
We can always do this instead of SantaPod or TRAX as well.
Its also easy to combine either with German vs Jap if we want - we can convoy from Oakham Bites to Denbies for example and have lunch there (and a tour of the estate if we up for it)
-
Can organise both. May be a good idea to get some champagne and wine before Christmas as well from DenbiesMaybe we could take a trip to Brooklands or Denbies vineyard in Surrey perhaps?.
Any preferred dates?

Hope you all had a great summer and it was really good to see many of you at shows, track days and social events.😁
Just thinking what events we may want to do/ organise for the rest of the year.
We have
Fuel Coffee House meet tomorrow and Yakushi Show next weekend,
but here are few more potential events to think of:
Sunday, Sep 29th: Jap Show Finale at Santa Pod
Sunday, Oct 6th: TRAX at Silverstone
http://www.traxshows.co.uk/trax-silverstone-home
(I know many people don't like TRAX 🙄)
Sunday, Oct 6th: German vs Jap Bfast Meet at Ockham Bites
Saturday, Oct 12th: Action Day Finale at Castle Combe
https://castlecombecircuit.co.uk/shows/action-day-finale
(we don't usually have many people interested in Castle Combe events)
I am also doing track days at Thruxton on Monday Sep 30th and Silverstone on Saturday Nov 16th if anyone would like to join (both with Opentrack)
Club track day at Bedford last year was popular, we can do it again, good for those who want to try track days for the 1st time (although check your noise level). May be wet (and cold) but its getting reasonably inexpensive.
Would be great to hear wishes and suggestions!😎
-
Temperature or pressure?I got a track day tomorrow
just wondering roughly what temperature people run them (hot) my tyres are Michelin PS4
If pressure I typically drop to 32 psi after sighting laps, then drop again to 30-31 after 1st session and keep checking so it does not go above 32 ish.

Hmm... more mods cheaper car insurance? I guess this may also depends on whether you increase declared value if the car any by how much.
I will be looking for renewal quote in about a month time as well. Would be interested in a policy with additional track days cover (Greenlight does not insure in my area).

It was indeed a good day, we should do it again, good to have couple GT86s and practice in safe and friendly environment.
