wot r the rules, like tryes and brakes

[MarkyG]

you need:

Tyres,
Brakes.

also anything you break you have to pay for, for that price though insurance should be included.

[Rob]

[MarkyG]

erm not really, it doesn't need to be MOT'd but if you have no brakes you're just going to crash

[Rob]

[aguycalleddb]

erm not really, it doesn't need to be MOT'd but if you have no brakes you're just going to crash

It does,
all cars MUST be road legal, MOT'd and in good condition.

Some Info:

All cars attending should have a valid MOT (excluding Track Cars these should be capable of passing MSA Scutineering) and there must be sufficient tread on the tyres to cope with the days activities.
Although no scurineering is carried out, Croft Promosport (Croft Circuit) reserve the right to refuse access to the track any vehicle deemed unfit for the days activity.

afaik a car could run racing slicks, which wouldn't be MOT worthy.

" All cars attending should have a valid MOT (excluding Track Cars these should be capable of passing MSA Scutineering) "

so it doesnt need an MOT.

[aguycalleddb]

All road registered cars (have a number plate & tax disk) need a valid MOT to be on the track.
Track cars eg. race cars don't. So will need a MOT certificate or v5 if the car is under 3 years to get on the track.
Also need track day insurance, I was told this can be arranged with Croft.

[Adam_CTR]

im still well up for this, i will be a bit a giggle, we will see who's car can do what and there should be some great photo oppotunities

[Adam_CTR]

i will say a half day will be long enough too

[aguycalleddb]

Photos will be excellent, will be a good day :thumbs:

[MarkyG]

Indeed driving for half a day is tres knackering esp with an early drive down and drive back after.

[Turner]

Anymore interest?

[Adam_CTR]

aint been anything said since feb

[Fox]

Turner the rolling road day is in April! Which date is the track day as I am trying to get either the 28th or 29th April

[Turner]

I think this should be put back towards May / June time, so theres more interest and weather is better.

[aguycalleddb]

Later in the year will be better, give us a chance of some sunny days :)

[Adam_CTR]

sonuds like a good idea

[shekabon]

oh yes i am def goin to this betta buy sum new pads jus incase

[AndyW]

id be interested in venturing up for the day - make it later in year though

[Keith Fusco]

I think this'd be interesting. I'd be scared incase I rolled the car, or crashed. ;)

[Fox]

Depends how late in the year you do this as you will be lucky to get in Croft at all in late May/early June due to the touring cars and their testing and August will be a no go due to the superbikes being there for weeks on end testing setup's etc.
