    The BMW
    Car Club are organising a 'Better Driving Day' at Cadwell Park on
    August 14th (Thursday). The idea is for people who have always
    wanted to do a track day to come along and sample it in a very safe
    environment. The day will be led by Chris Rossiter who is an
    excellent track driving instructor (he is the MD of AC Schnitzer).
    There will be 8 'Guides' (I am one of them) and we will be leading
    4-5 cars each around the track for the day. The first session will
    be driving around following the lines that the guide takes at about
    30 - 50mph. The next session is possibly a little faster depending
    on how the first session goes. The customers will then be allowed to
    do free lapping during the afternoon - they can choose which speed
    they want to drive at but even the fastest group won't be doing more
    than 70 -80mph. 

    No-one is allowed to register without first speaking to Chris or
    Nick Wright - he does not want anyone at all to feel out of their
    depth or intimidated by any other driver. Consequently he wants to
    weed out the hooligans and boy racers! They just would not help the
    nervous driver at all!

    I wish that I had had the opportunity to do this before my first
    track day - it would have meant that I didn't suffer the humiliation
    of being 'black-flagged' on my first ever sighting lap!! We all
    still laugh about it now but it wasn't funny at the time - it was 6
    years ago  :-) !

    Anyway - the cost is £200 for the day ( track days at Brands Hatch
    are more than double that). Please let me know if anyone is
    interested and I will give you Chris's phone number.

    Kind regards

    Nicola
