Its been a while since I have personally been on the forum and its great to see its still thriving. I am keen to chat to members direct about 1/ magazine features & spotted submissions for Performance French Cars Mag 2/ how you can get involved with the magazine as its the only one out...

thats me

Fernandez - can be looked at Fernandez - advert in PFC magazine?

I am typing a feedback document tomorrow and I promise 150% I will be discussing how the track turned out as the day progressed. Not what I wanted Not happened before Not what you wanted 2013 will be better thanks to you guys. Please if you can add me as a friend on facebook and we can add...

don't tell me even the parade lap was f**ked up. The valvers were followed by Cliosport as they were allowed 100 cars. There was one lead car so suspect cliosport caught up.

Thanks Mike Yeah, Early feedback is, track safety, running late. They have told us to have periodic gaps between sessions at Donington to catch any slack. This wasn't suggested to us beforehand as we did sell back to back like other events. we didn't sell out either - say 75 slots unsold so...

Jase 100% do your own VIP next year. Probably be better for your members. Mark

Mate I really hope Jase defends me here. We are 100% behind you mate. I am struggling to get anywhere with the track as they just say thats what happens. The delays on track have created massive queues at Redgate and the knock on effect has ruined slots. I appreciate feedback and I am not...

MikeDX race control I would have thought would never allow more than 30 on track. iF they have I know they can go up to 40. I know at Rockingham we used to run up to 50 on International. I was aware Donington screwed the noise testing up but giving wrong location which was crazy.

I would appreciate if someone collates the track issues and sends to gordon@frenchcarshow.co.uk so he can take it to Donington/BookaTrack. Like I say we have run the show for years and yes there has been the odd issue but nothing like this. I will report back as well.

thats cause KW suspension didn;t use their all day pass. At no time would they be permitted to run more than 30 cars on circuit.

I sold 22 cars per slot with a track capacity of 30. On top of this there would be MAX up to 8 sponsors and Renault on open pit. So as far as I am concerned we were never over subscribed. So sounds like Redgate was a disaster at some points. Bookatrack are blaming stoppages end of if I speak...

Mike, I more meant the track day company NOR donington told us there were any issues.

yes and clubs can buy dedicated sessions, few years back clubs bought all the circuit, clubs went out together and in the main that meant you were with like individuals.

Track isn't about making money its about covering costs. I believe the 3 hours open pit in the morning went okay (I think it did). Gordon and I work full time on our own jobs, its not about a big windfall. Its about an enjoyable show firstly. Most venues tell us our planning is 1000% better...

I am a club person like you and I will happily discuss this. tbh NO ONE told Gordon and I this was even an issue on the day. I sat with a radio and NOT a peep about running 40 minutes late.

Mike Jase will tell you (I hope) we try our best but this isn't something I wanted to hear or indeed see. In 2013 we are looking at running 120 mins open pit x3 sessions with use of the pit lane. I won't telerate this again if its so bad. I don;t want Renault to take the heat for the VIP as...

Donington have strict noise regs and they tell us its the risks of track days. I have never experienced this in 12 years. We do the same each year and expect things to run smoothly with the odd hicup. I know at the likes of Trax people have lost whole slots in the past.
