Club Triumph

On Monday 8th October MGoT are holding their annual track day at Donington.  This year it contains special provision for first timers.  Full details are shown on http://www.mgs-on-track.com/events/136/donington_park_2012-10-08.htm.

We are invited and it is a good opportunity for first timers to get some special treatment.  An instructor will give the first-timer group classroom briefings during the day to provide guidance on the circuit and track driving. Experienced drivers will offer a buddy system. You will be allocated a buddy who will help you learn the ropes - from sign-on to the end of the day. You can also book a personal instruction session when you make your booking.

Summary details of the day are shown below:

Additional Information
Your chance to visit this fantastic Midlands circuit which is now back registered and fully operational following the F1 debacle. We hope to see 75 MGs anf Triumphs of various models having safe fun on track. We expect each car to have a full 2 hours 20 minutes of track time during the day assuming no stoppages. This is a three session per hour day with 7 sessions each of 20 mins. There will be plenty of space on track, running 25 cars on the two mile circuit will give each car about 140 yards separation without bunching.

It`s not just all `first timers` running with instructors?
I think I may be up for this one

It would be great to have a number of new comers to track days come to this event.  Donington is easy to get to from almost anywhere in the country, it is a great and safe circuit.  It has history, good facilities and the world's best F1 car collection and we always have a great day there.

For first timers read only been to a few, or are not very confident on track, or have not been to a track day for a few years.

Clive, Gill are you up for this?

Hmm, 3 1/2 hr drive, but very tempting......may be in the toledo again though the way things are going.
Will check with the boss and report back.

Have we any interest from CT in this event or is it too near the Club Driver Challenge event in November?

Just realised.....its the day after RBRR  :-/

Just checked the MG's on track website and only 2 places left so nabbed one of them, will I be the sole Triumph  :(  or will another Triumph grab the last available place..............  :)

Looks like it has now sold out. ?!

Looks like it has now sold out. ?!

Enjoy it Peeter.  Have you got the TR7/V8 going now?

I am thinking of doing a Javalin TD at Blyton, just north of Gainsborough, in my 900 JPS when I have got it sorted.  I am looking at Blyton as an option for a range of CT events.  Care to come over there too?

Might feel a tad intimidated tomorrow, a solitary triumph amongst the MG's

Stop Press: Appears there may be one space available due to cancellation, if interested go to mgs on track

Good luck Peeter, enjoy your day and then get your name down for Goodwood   :) :)

Good afternoon at Donington, morning not so good as track wet with rain on and off. Lots of cars spinning on the track and then finding the grass had even less grip  ;D.
Very well run by MGs on track as usual.

Wet with rain......


And a liberal dosing of kerosene from the aircraft coming in to land.  That is why the first few sessions at Donington ary always interesting.

Well done for flying the flag, let's hope a few more can make it next year.
