How much does it cost?

Bump; hello is anybody in?

Surprised you have no answer yet. It may be that the options haven't been worked out yet as there was some discussion of whether half day options were a good idea. were a good idea. Traditionally it is supposed to be a remarkably good deal compared to other track days but I have never taken the plunge to actually go on the track.

I would think it will be announced after the next committee meeting on 4/10. It will be good value so pencil in the date!

Sorry, been busy and was going to reply : basically the same as Tim said - I think we know the date and details will follow.

Here the topic from this year (2015) with the entry form so I would guess that gives a rough idea :

When there is an official application form we'll update the first post and will most likely send out an email to all members.

Darn, keep looking for a good excuse to put the kappa back together, but for the second year running this clashes with the BTCC event at Donington. With my son now racing in the support package (Ginetta Juniors) means I'll have to miss this one again  :'(

16th April 2016!!!

Dear all,

Here are the details of the event and an entry form is attached:-

Goodwood Trackday Saturday 16 April 2016

The club is delighted to announce that we will once again be running this pillar event of the club calendar. For newer members this event has long standing connections with the LMC. The grandfather of the current Lord March, was the first President of the Club, he also founded the Goodwood circuit after having driven round the old airfield perimeter track in his Lancia Aprilia in 1946. He also established a partnership to sell Lancias and even designed and commissioned a series of rakish tourer versions of the Augusta.  So we need you all to come out on the track and celebrate these connections with us.

The event is  designed for all members and their friends who would like to drive a little quicker than today's current overcrowded roads allow and to let their cars demonstrate just how able they are. To this effect  we will be running cars in groups of just eight. On a 98dBA sound limit  day we could run ten cars but the formula of eight really does work for us, with plenty of empty track available to all plus enough track time available for even the keenest to be well satisfied with the mileage they can put in.

An entry form is enclosed with this magazine or you can download it from the Forum website. It does cost a lot to put this event on; over £8 thousand and this is subsidised to a generous extent by the club so you will not find a cheaper way to enjoy your car around the track that is so special to the Lancia story in Britain.

 We have trialled half day sessions over the last few years to give owners the chance to sample a trackday and hope that those who took advantage will want to book a full day this year. We are offering this option again this year, so a chance to try something new perhaps at a bargain price!

This event would be an excellent Christmas present for a Lancia driver you know well, or perhaps you needs to drop some hints!

The day is also an important social event for members and no entry fee is charged for spectators. However a donation to the club coffers of £5 for your days entertainment would be appreciated and a pot will be available for this purpose in the pavilion.

Enter early or you may miss out - some members made this mistake last year!

Enjoy Lancia

Hi all,

Pleased to say that this years event is nearly full, so get your entry in in the next week please.

Best regards
Brian

Super excited that two racing pals (and their wives) from Germany will be driving their cars (Aurelia B20 and Alfa 1900 Berlina race car) over and taking part in the track day.  Super people and we can't wait to host them and go in convoy with our B20 and perhaps (if ready) my Flavia Super Jolly.

I'll look out for your convoy on the A3

Bugger. It clashes with HSCC Castle Combe.

I don't know if there is a thread somewhere more appropriate, but just to say I joined in for the afternoon and the weather didn't dampen my enjoyment of it.
Thanks

We concur. It was great even if it threw up a few car problems. Thanks to Brian and team for organising.

Tim and Sarah

Many thanks from us too to Brian and the team for a splendid day.
Following is a video of our 2000HF doing a couple of laps.

Thanks Brian and everyone who organised the day.

The best Goodwood trackday I've ever had, spent a lap with a 2000HF and Fulvia Berlina (you know who you are) but best was almost a lap following 2 Aurelias .......... for a brief moment I was driving at the Revival !

Martin

Superb day. well done to all involved.
I've uploaded my photos from the day, the weather was a little challenging at times  ;D

Fantastic photos as always Tony.  I share everyone's view that it was an extremely successful and enjoyable day.  Very relaxed, an interesting mix of conditions to add some interest on track, great driving all round and superbly relaxed.

Our German friends Uwe (series 6 Aurelia) and Jan (Alfa 1900 Super) who are in Tony's picture, had a fantastic day - their first experience of driving the track after many years going to the Revival.  Uwe drove the Aurelia over and the car was last seen leaving our driveway being driven by Uwe's wife Anya, with Jan's wife Gudrun as passenger, driving to some Kent gardens.  Yet another example of how perfect a car the Aurelia is.
