GT4OC challenge weekend - invite to IMOC

Post by dt4 »

Hi there, you may (or not) have seen me lurking around in the background reading the tech stuff etc.. damn 3S GTE engines :lol:
Anyhoo, the GT4OC has an annual bash where we hire a track and have a couple of days fun.
We have a few places spare this year and I have been asked to offer them to other clubs and thought the IMOC might be interested as I am sure there would be great interest in how the 2s and 4s compare on track and strip.
The details are below, any questions drop me a pm.

That time of year is almost upon us again, its a mere 6 weeks or so till the GT4OC's annual Challenge Weekend on the weekend of 18th-19th August.
This year the venue is RAF Woodbridge near Ipswich in Suffolk.

Camping has been arranged, by way of a dedicated campsite hired purely for the GT4OC Challenge Weekend, complete with toilets, showers, and hot water, plus a purpose built barbeque.

RAF Woodbridge is an ex-american airbase which has now been turned over to motor-racing. Throughout the year, numerous events are held there. Trackdays are held almost every other weekend, with national and sprint championships taking in this venue too, so it is a well tested location. The circuit poses a wide variety of possible layouts, including a very promising track which is 2.2 miles in length.

For those of you who are not aware of the format of the weekend, it is as follows;

Friday (17th August)
Arrive at the campsite and setup, and get ready to, eat, drink and be merry

Saturday (18th August)
Convoy the short distance over to RAF Woodbridge, ready for the track briefing, and a day full of fuel-filled fun, with the possibility of several different track setups to try your skills out on, throughout the day.

Once the days track sessions have finished, then its back to the campsite, for more food and fun and partying.

Sunday (19th August)
Once again, convoy the short distance back over to RAF Woodbridge, ready for the days drag strip events. This will include unlimited runs down the strip, giving plenty of time to test out your launching skills, and to try and improve your 1/4 mile times.

For more information on the event and to take part in the discussions please visit the following links;

http://www.gt4oc.net/shop/shop_category ... ory=Events

payment options include, camping for single or both days, track day only, drag day only, and the whole weekend.

There are even options to pay a deposit now, and a balance payment nearer the time.

Alternatively payment can be made by cheque, payable to GT4OC ltd and sent to me (pm for address)

This is a members event, but rest assured, non-members are also welcome, there is a surcharge for this, however, this includes a years free membership to boot!

That is all from us for now, but please take the time to check out the links above to read about what promises to be the best event of the year, but dont delay, as spaces are going by the day, and there is outside interest to take spaces if the masses dont grab the limited number of 50 spaces per day that are available.

Shoud there be any questions, feel free to drop me a pm on here or on the GT4OC

Regards

sounds like a good event - a bit far for me - along with the fact that I don't like airfield trackdays, and 1/4 miles don't float my boat...

Maybe if a bunch of MR2's get together, you could have a mini competition for best MR2.
Have you tried TwoBrutal? so of them seem keen one 1/4 miles

There are still a handfull of places left Mike but its been opened up to some other clubs as well as we want the 50 places booked and paid for as quick as we can so the club is not exposed to the risk of non payment.
All I can say is the 1st 50 on either day are guaranteed to run, after that it will be a standby list

I assume the members price is only for gt4oc members, not imoc members? Sounds like a good w/end. I've not checked the links yet so appologies if this has been covered- is there any information on the track layout, and track in general?

So....

Am I going to be the only MR2 to join in and defend our Two-Wheel-Drive honour?

Really looking forward to this ;o)
Will be interesting to test out these cheap Kumho KU31 rear tyres I'm using at the moment.
