I did post numbers in another thread a few weeks back when the race academy dates were coming out - think it was something like 24 per session with 12 cars. Was definitely not one car per customer, though wish it were.
Suppose someone with time to kill could call the concierge...

20 people for session...simon the events co-ordinator from nissan europe was telling me at goodwood he was bringing in 6 GT-Rs for the silverstone trackdays so i think there'll be at least 6 cars....maybe you guys are right and there'll be four other cars there too....i didn't actually ask him how many there would be. He just mentioned it to illustrate his point that he thinks you need to drive the car hard from the start to help run it in as he's bringing brand new cars and putting them straight on track. I wouldn't follow his advice though...i'm going to be following the advice of Nissan Japan that's written in the manual. If it's the same as the U.S. or JDM manual then it will advise running in gently and that's what i'm going to do when my car arrives.

Looks like there's an overlap for lunch so if any of you guys are down for 5th August PM, I'll be one of the ones grinning from the AM session! Say hello to the bald old codger!

p.s. Not sure I'll be wearing beige though!!

Yep I'll be there! Are you planning to get there early to try and watch the AM group?

P1toR35 · 31st July 2008, 07:39 AM

I'm Monday pm as well.

I'll probably be there late morning like an excited school boy with his face pressed up against the window of a toy shop!

NismoR35GTR · 31st July 2008, 11:56 AM

Anyone booked for 21 August am on here?

I am staying at the Travelodge the night before - anyone know of any decent eating and drinking establishments nearby?

I won't be getting lashed - need to be sober for the early start!
