This is starting to look good for Donington lake car park on a Saturday in September, just looking into the health and safety thing at the moment.

Is Throckmorton a suitable location?

It's starting to look expensive, Donnington wants £1,600 for their car park with toilet and catering area I.E coffee and lunch . We also need one or two driving instructors on top of that, I'm going to look into somewhere like Santa pod when I get back from my holiday . We only need a patch of tarmac but most of these places want you to have everything including a health and safety official

I know that Curborough will be much cheaper than that and I suspect Throckmorten is similarly cheap

I've booked car parks at Silverstone a couple of times (so the club has history there which might help). It didn't work out that expensive when split the cost between us - we brought our own food and drink (I stopped off at Sainsbury's on the way). And hired our own instructors.

I'd also add a mobile tyre van to remove good tyres before drifting and put them back on afterwards (or fit new tyres after you've trashed the existing ones). Oh, and shelter because British weather (unless supplied - but I think the club owns something...)

I've just done a weekend at Donnington race circuit and be aware the car park is a disaster - it's covered in pebbles and not very atom friendly. I got a little hasty (and I mean around 20mph on the drive to the pit entrance) and it was horrific - stones flying everywhere. Might be worth just verifying what kind of surface you're hoping to use or we won't have much of a coating left on the cars.

If it helps - my local Sainsbury's car park is F1 smooth, but it might have to be a midnight event  :D

Good shout ^

It may be possible to get them to run the sweeper around the place if they are looking at the sort of numbers we are talking about?
