UK Trackday/Natter/Meet-up - Abingdon 16 Mar 12

Guys

As trailed, here's hoping we can get a good gathering of our masterful 1Ms.

I've booked in for the 16 Mar. It is a great track, friendly pitlane and well organised.

I'll bring two spare helmets for those that want a passanger ride or want to track for the first time. Standard exhaust is about 85db @ 4000rpm well under the 100db limit.

Don't hang around, Abingdon is MSE most popular day. I'll ask that they give 1Ms first refusal!!

See you there

Hiya,

I've looked at their website but can't seem to find the start and finish times for the trackday.

Would love to come but so busy with work and meets as well as going to Geneva on the 10th that another one would be pushing it with the missus and kids.

Have a good one all!

I went two years ago, didn't get to see the 1M

Great location though as I walked to the airport to fly back home!

I wasn't sure if you had to book in advance. Didn't want to fly out there and find that I couldn't get in

Went in 2003 to see the M3 CSL, I'll be going again this year

Would love to come along to Abingdon to watch and chat

Forgive me, I got trapped in London on a 'no choice' meeting. Sorry I wasn't there to keep you company, I'm glad you enjoyed it it is a top venue.

Any links to the on site photographer?

Regards

Simon
