Aintree Track Day 29th Sept 2012

[speedsport]

What a great day and a great finale to our Aintree sesaon!

Here's a few comments that we have received:-


What fantastic weather for an Aintree track day. Nearly 100 miles of driving this famous track in unlimited conditions. Superbly organised and marshalled making it flow all day long. Excellent professional instructors available with Malcolm & Andy who just added to making it an excellent day by giving away all the 'tricks of the trade'.
Shame we had to break for lunch.

Many thanks to all

Malcolm Thorne

Just a quick note to thank all at Liverpool Motor Club and all the marshals for a brilliant trackday yesterday.
It was the most enjoyable event I have done even after 6 years sprinting and other trackdays at Oulton Park and Donington.
Driving round Aintree on hot rubber with the single seaters was the perfect place for a Westfield to be.

Many thanks,
Dave Kirkman.

An excellent day today, thank you very much!

Many thanks to all involved for organising an excellent day. Thanks also to fellow drivers for the friendly atmosphere which put us beginners at ease.

Apologies for demolishing the fence on Saturday. Please let me know if I can contribute to any repair costs. Response from the marshals, medics and Phil Gough was fantastic. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation.

regards Peter I (FF1600)

A big thanks to all the Marshals and the Organizers for a superb day at the Aintree track.
It was, for my son and I, our first time on track and we were made very welcome by all and made new friends whilst we were there!
Every one had time for us so we joined the club!
Great venue and nice people!!
2013-bring it on!
See you there!

We both enjoyed the day at Aintree and were glad the weather was being very kind to us all!!
Our little Lotus had a really great day, and I can't wait for the next one,
I had the instructor who used to be based at Aintree, (now at Three Sisters), and found him to be very helpful and he put me at ease straight away-sorry I've forgotton his name in my excitement!! but I would recommend an instructor to anyone new to a track day, his advice was excellent, (although I have to say Alan's was good too!!)

A big thank you to all who came along to help. No, it's not a competitive event, but it's as close as we are ever likely to get in the future to a proper car race meeting at Aintree. And despite the occasional slightly borderline passing manoeuvre, the standard of driving was once again pretty good and required hardly any words of advice from the clerks of course in the assembly area.
And it was great to have the surprisingly keen and attentive students from Tameside college with us, learning what's involved in marshalling and getting a flavour of what goes on in the paddock between sessions. Thanks for helping pack up afterwards too lads.

A good variety of cars out there too. What was your favourite?

Tim Barks' (www.mvstuning.com/) brand new Nissan GTR Prototype? (all 6 feet wide of it!). That's going to be an amazing car once Tim has got it properly run-in and has found what an incredible monster he has created.

Or perhaps Kelvin Jones Motorsport's (www.kelvinjones-motorsport.com) superbly renovated Chevron B16, or maybe Anthony Taylor's (www.autotuneuk.com/) 5 litre McLaren M6B on its first time out for a year.

Or how about the sound of Malcolm Thorne's genuine "last of the line" AC Cobra Superblower, or Geoff Parkinson's TVR Grantura?

For entertainment, you may have liked the plethora of Renault Clios, the gaggle of EVOs or Phil Concannon's "bodywork half completed" but superbly crisp sounding 6 cylinder green BMW 3 series.

For consistency, how about the lime green FF1600 of Graham Curwen, and Derek Martlew's very tidy Tiga S2000.

I'm sure everyone had a favourite, so go on, what impressed you? ;D
