AMT Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Random question, but is there anything like the Vmax stuff in or near Scotland, like rolling start and good amount of distance to try and blast up as fast as you can? Just a thought... Always see random clips being advertised on youtube but their all down England or foreign countries usually. (not a track kinda thing... if I want corners I'd take a trip to Moffat or up north, looking for pure straight line get up and go... Crails a bit short lol) I'm doubting their will be but I'll ask anyway Edited July 25, 2013 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just take a trip down when Craig is running a Vmax day. Proper petrol head outing, always good stuff there to get a ride in. Ping him an email from the website and you never know, you may get an invite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should do something like that up here! What have you got to lose by asking? Be polite, understand the ethos of the Vmax days (i.e. it's not for idiots and you'll get short shrift if you are one) and you never know. It's a business after all, and some days there aren't enough supercars to fill the gaps, so you could get invited. I mean, mine's only a cooking 911 and I had a great day there, just check the leaderboards for an example of some of the lower power stuff that turns up.

AMT Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Oh I didn't know you'd been! It does look great fun and fairly organised lol. I'm not after drifting/smoking tyre nonsense just a bit of out and out speed and would be good to try and find out what the Zed could do. Do they have any speed traps to record your top end accurately? Plus any idea how much it is? They do say on the sight they don't disclose the day it is until further on (which is fair enough as you can only take a passenger) but prob wouldn't be too hard to find out where that runway is lol. I'd only go if it wasn't a huge leap down south and didn'tm cost the world to get in (IF! I got an invite that is, which looks unlikely but could be worth an email). Cheers Ekona!

Ekona Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It used to be very hush-hush, but it's a bit more open now in terms of what you can talk about on open forum (think Fight Club! ). It's held at Bruntingthorpe, and it was £200 when I did it. They've got proper timing beacons there and apparently they're much more accurate now than when I went, as they didn't work sometimes and you had to go off your speedo. They are getting more popular and so spaces for normal cars are much more limited I think, but you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
