Title: Pembrey April 28th booked! Anyone interested?
Post by: Lucky Ed on 06, April, 2012, 08:25:07 PM
I've booked my first trackday with my own car on Sat 28th April at Pembrey, with MSE.

I have been lucky enough to have had a couple of great days here with Dave Doom & Krazyken, so can't wait to go back.
It's a great little circuit, well run by MSE who will not tolerate any idiots!. It's a silly o'clock start but well worth it.

I might be wrong but I think Dave & Ken did half a day late last year, which might appeal to some of you as far as
cost and time is concerned. I'm sure they will correct me if I'm wrong!

Feel free to tag along if you want

Already excited as .... ;D ;D

PS - Krazyken I have PM'd you

Pembrey is a great circuit that should be on every track day drivers list.  I am planning on joining Ed P for the afternoon, that way I don't have to be up at silly o'clock leaving Bristol at around 10am.

No noise issues and a great little circuit with a bit of everything and in my opinion far more interesting to drive than Castle Combe.  Look forward to a few other BKCC members joining us.

Sadly I'm already due to be at a friends wedding so can't join you.  She's already making me miss the annual Army v Navy rugby match at Twickenham so she knows I'm attending under duress..!

Pembrey is in South West Wales just the other side of Llanelli, approx 2 hours from Bristol.  If you are into track days its well worth the run as it's a great circuit.  Until all the big money came into motorsport the F1, F3 and BTCC teams used to test there, it's that good!

I'd love to join you, but that's the day I get back from holiday. However, ME are going to Pembrey again in September, so I'll have to wait until then.

I did half a day at Pembrey last October and had a great time ;D

As Ed and KK have said, it's a superb little circuit and well worth the trip.

Ade

Book direct with Motorsport Events (MSE).  Joe Type R will not be there, so there will be no one to blow you away like the karting after the big banter build up.  He is now learning to drive having turned 17 in Feb, so keep checking your mirrors.

Thanks for the offer to transport stuff, Ed.  I have a trailer too which I was planning to use but the clutch has just gone on my tintop.  If I can't get it sorted before the 28th I may take you up on the offer to cart over my fuel and wheels.

Hi Rob. Have you managed to sort out your tintop for tomorrow? PM me if you need anything taken over.

It looks like we might get lucky with the weather, the forcast is dry till later in the day ;D

Still may see you guys PM, pretty shattered after today though after a track day at Abingdon.

What time does the afternoon session start? and is it an open pit day?

Weather does look ok.
