Theres no garages at Cadwell just open paddock areas, a mix of grass and tarmac. You can get a bit of temporary cover in the sheltered park ferme garage area, but it's not a rentable area and is part of the lower paddock flow to/from the circuit. Change your wheels in the open.

 

sure is

 

Tempted to do another cadwell but it's so expensive on a weekend £179 on the javelin website only £79 during the week

 

£79 will be for an evening not a full day

 

Yeah 79 is an evening, there still good value myself and Steve did a few last year and tbh it's just enough

ah ok, cant remember what I paid when i did one last year. Need to get the exhaust and map tweak done before then but will keep an eye on the remaining spaces.

 

Only snag with evenings is the tits that get sessions flagged and then you have wasted a heap of prep, travel time and fuel to sit around. Track time per £ can be a shitter.

 

That could be an issue, luckily javelin seemed to be on the ball last year so it wasn't an issue

 

Only flags I saw were black being waved at me for over taking in the corners, thought that was the norm

 

Not even Javelin can cater for some of the randoms that turn up for a cheap evening out. Pulling cars off circuit isnt too bad, its the oil spewing bangers that hack everyone off.

 

Like I said I've only had good experiences, the same can happen on full days had it at Snetterton a few weeks back wth MSV, after dinner was flag after flag for a while and a couple of oil spillages

Cadwell afternoons are local for me and Steve and tbh I can pop up there after an morning shift at work so it's convenient for a little fix haha

 

Yep I've witnessed you doin that Steve
chasing me

 

Basic rule - the cheaper the track day, the more they are stuffed with time wasters.

 

The cheaper the track day the more days I'll do, been doing track days for years and never had a problem with javelin days at all, for those that want to pay top dollar with people like gold track, crack on, for me it's all about making it affordable, yeh I can afford the expensive days, but why would I , rather do twice as many for the same money , when and where are you next on track, I'll book on too, be a good laugh

 

I've always said I go for good times not lap times, it's a track day not a race day

 

can't make the 22nd Steve, its my lads birthday, i'll be thrashing him and his mates at karting:cool: catch up with you on the other days for a few beers and a laugh, its what trackdays are all about.

 

But then again you get loads that seriously modify their cars just so they can go faster.

That seems to be what's it's all about as well. Otherwise they wouldn't bother.

 

people just like to tinker with their cars, if they have a bit of spare cash, its put into the car with some mod or another, all part of the fun whether it makes the car better or not.

 

Well that's a first, all those people that mod their track cars with suspension, brakes, less weight, seats, power etc and turn up on a track day with 2 set of wheels just in case it's a bit damp aren't interested in better lap times or if the car is better or not.

 

christ your a bundle of joy to have around , I've got sets of different wheels with different Tyres, better brakes because they do the job better, never time myself though, not interested in times at all, just nice know when I've made the right improvements to get the best from the car and myself, no idea why your so negative with everything though.

 

If you we're to turn up on a set of normal road Tyres and they were squealing their tits off round every corner then I'm sure you would invest in a better tyre designed for the job

 

Don't feed the troll Steve :cool:

 

How many evening sessions have you done aerofoil?

most of what he says is negative who ever it's against

 

Evening sessions are not good value for money.

 

That's a no then lol, I do more full days but still stick them in now and then.

Me and Steve probably average around a day a month and as of yet I can't say I've seen an increased amount of idiots at evenings compared to full days.

If anything the fact you don't get race teams there using them as cheap test days is a bonus

 

He's probably never done a track day Dan you've heard of all the gear and no idea, this clowns got neither .

 

The general point though, before the 2 stressed chums dived in, with the next Javelin evening you only get 2 hours track time after sighting laps for £80. For £150 you get a full day, 9 hours. That's why it's poor value and that's before some red flag tit chops into your 2 hour eve track time. A full day gives you flexibility, value.

 

Last evening session at Cadwell I got around 85 track miles, on an average full day I'll do between 2-240 miles on track.

I've never looked at the money side of thinks when I comes to Trackdays, I work hard so I reward myself.

Like I said in earlier post the evening sessions are handy for a nice buzz as I work shifts

 

Valid points and thanks, nicely on topic.

 

You keep trying, it's keeping everyone amused

 

Lmao , should change his name to Rodney (right plonker)

 

Dig a nickname. Yours? The WKR (Working Klass Roofer).

Stay Lucky.
