NEWS: RMA 2012 Track Day Dates

Our good track day pals at RMA (www.rmatrackdays.com) – The Track Day Kings – have some cracking dates for 2012 – including Silverstone International next week, Thursday 26th, from just £99! MD Graham Clarke says: "With forecasters promising a significant improvement in the weather we are looking forward to blue skies and sunshine at Silverstone next week! We will be operating from the new Silverstone Wing using the same paddock, garages and pit lane that was occupied by the F1 teams for the British Grand Prix just a couple of weeks ago. There is still plenty of space on this event although both Snetterton and Le Mans in August are just about full, so if you want a nice quiet day on a good circuit with very few race cars book yourself on to next weeks event."

* Silverstone International - from just £99!

NEWS: RMA Track Club Get Porsche Cayman S Tuition Car

Road track day buddies, RMA (http://www.rmatrackdays.com/) have added another reason to join them on their exciting 2012 track day forays – a Porsche Cayman S tuition vehicle. The 170mph, stable, quick, mid-engined, rear wheel-drive Porsche with 320bhp is a fabulous track tool, and great fun to learn in – especially fitted with super grippy Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tyres and equipped with Racelogic's Video VBOX data logging video tool, to see where you are going wrong, or getting it right. RMA boss, Graham Clarke said: "The car will principally be used by Leyton (his son & ARDS instructor, http://leytonclarke.com/) but will occasionally be available for hot laps, track day hire and corporate use." Looks like another great reason to get involved... along with the overtaking either side, low numbers, great cars, fabulous atmosphere RMA philosophy. See their dates at many UK and European circuits here: http://www.rmatrackdays.com/trackdays/events.asp, starting at Brands Hatch, March 28th. We'll see you there...

VIDEO: Donington Park 2012

One of our favourite tracks in the UK – for track days or to enjoy a race meet – is Donington Park, near Derby. There's not a lot that tops taking the Cranner Curves at flat chat here in Britain. Here's a promo video from http://www.donington-park.co.uk/. Great footage and shows the eclectic mix of what they get up... just ignore the breathy, dirty phone call style commentary at the beginning! A true British gem – "the heart of British motorsport."
