I've just signed up for the afternoon session, Mondello Park.

Ever wondered what it's like to take part in a trackday? I'm offering free passenger rides to forum members, helmet supplied. Just let me know below if you're interested.

PS, the organisers also offer a deal for €30 if you want to try a few laps in your own car..I'll supply the helmet if you want to try that!!

What time roughly.

I've never driven on track before.

The afternoon session begins at 2pm , lunch is from 1 to 2 so if you arrive after 1 you can get signed on and attend the briefing....

Cool, might make a day of it.

Got 5 laps in my session then a red flag... booo

Great crack thanks so much for everything, you got the helmet?

Yep, clever idea putting it on the tow bar, kept it off the wet ground!! Yep, there were quite a lot of red flags but that's expected when you get the kinda weather we got yesterday. the biggest pain was when some twat dumped a load of oil on the final turn, we lost nearly an hour while that was cleaned up.

I was in the line to go on track when you were leaving...have you copped yet that your novice sticker is still on your rear number plate??

What make is that helmet, so comfortable. Another oil spill!?

Ha ha ya I took that off while I was giving the car a quick once over before heading home, went onto the grass on my first lap no damage just a mouth fill of grass.

At least you were on 4 wheels as opposed to 2 wheels when you got the mouth full of grass !!!

That's true as the helmet is the roll bar
