    Re: Possible events, have your say

    just an idea lads, wouldnt it be better to have a main event every three months so that people on a budget get chance to save etc, and that way you get a stronger turnout.

    That is a valid point mate but we have got one at castle combe so its doubtful everyone from down south will go to that but alot of the northen lads may do then theres pod and trackdays everyone has a favourite plus we are getting people to vote so in reality there choosing which events they can do

    Unfortunately, although that makes perfect sense on paper, it doesn't actually work. Look at The National Day. That happens once a year, everybody knows when it is as the date is announced early, yet hardly any members turns up (% wise)

    Re: Possible events, have your say

    but we have had situations were people have said i cannot do because i am going to the ring or national day is the same month as fcs, so people cannot do both.
    Tbh the weather and the other things going on in peoples lives lives plays a massive part in events also.
    One thing i wouldnt mind doing that i have seen is a tunnel run, cannot beat seeing loads of motors in a massive convoy like when national day was held at fcs a few years ago and we all drove from the campsite to rockingham.

    But a choice is always good to go for with events for those who can make them that day. But as for ND I am not sure what puts people off as its a great day to meet people.

    Re: Possible events, have your say

    Has everyone voted?!?! Some great ideas and thoughts on here, keep it up.

    Castle Coombe is an hour and a half from me (Staines), I would attend (and track my car) if we had an event there.

    We also need more members to sort out some local meets, Mike in Milton Keynes was going to sort something out and we could all so the same. We have at least 2 monthly meets around Surrey (Surrey meet and Ace Cafe). These are all FREE and only require you to turn up, Renault Turbo in toe or not!

    The overall idea with RTOC events is to have something for everyone, this can be a challenge as we are all into different things: Show and Shine comps, Track days, Drag Strip events (this is not a ladyboy taking their clothes off ), Rolling Road days or just a piss up and a party.

    Can we sort a southern area meet? Brands hatch or somewhere? Nationals is a no go for me due to the distance. It's a 7 hour round trip for me and I'd only be able to go for a day due to work commitments.

    Be nice to see some other turbo'd renaults local

    Davo, what are thinking about doing: A track day? Meet other Renault Turbo owners? Or both?

    There are a lot of people local to Chelsford. The southern X-mas do was in Cambridge and we had over 18 people turn up (+1's included).

    Yeah a bit of both mate. Be good not having to travel loads.

    I reckon the south and south east area would be ideal for a mini meet. What dya reckon?

    I personally think we should list all names on a National day list..... then tick whos attending/Paid So people online get a good idea whos going then the people who arent attending have to write why they cant lets see the best excuse best excuse gets a free ND ticket so they have to go.

    Birmingham nec classic car show gets my vote. Maybee we could talk to the raoc, Rccc, Clio sport and the other renault clubs to get a stand near them. We might get some new members from it.
    I went to last years ccs and couldn't believe how many car clubs there were. Even the fiat panda owners club turned up ffs but not r5gtt in sight.

    Yeah been quite a few times in the past... They only seem to hold test n tune days, think is maybe a gd place for a southern meet & anyone else who's up for a bit of a laugh.. Maybe someone could speak to them and arrange something? They also do sprint courses at the same venue, however I don't know much about them and think you need to be part of a sprint type club..

    I'm a member of Sevenoaks and district motor club, we organise sprint courses at North Weald as part of the speed league. To do sprints to msa standards, you are looking at a club membership, a speed licence, signed into a local championship, have all relevant safety equipment and an eligible car.

    The drag racing side of it is rwyb (same as pod etc) so really all we'd need to do is ask if we could have a club stand of some sort and I little area??? It's also quite a cheap day out..

    Thanks Matt, that's right it's the Sevenoaks club as I know a couple of people who are part of it... Do they not do rwyb type sprint events at all Matt?

    I don't mind doing that.....

    They do auto solos, which are borderline sprints, less restricted on cars and equipment.

    That course was crap that day, came close to rolling Ricardos car...... his face was a picture when I came back to the paddock.

    If someone were interested in base level Motorsport events, then sprints/hillclimbs are probably the best option, as mentioned join a local club etc.....

    Of course, racing is the next step up, but more of a cost really, there is the cost of a trailer, a barge to tow it with, more safety equipment than a sprint car, more stringent rules than sprints, the cost of tyres.....The list goes on, sometimes the cost of building the car is nothing compared to keeping it running.


    What's the criteria for the 'club event'? I suppose you would have more fun at a trackday than a sprint, but no 'completion', you certainly get more value for money/track time compared to a sprint too.....

    It's a shame World Series is a no go in the uk, great event. Personally I'd like another anniversary race of the cup cars, or something like that, but we live in the real world.

    I see yes, in fact reading over what you asked in the first place and what I've written.....makes me sound like I'm on some really strong medication....

    I did mention in another thread about the crystal palace sprint, and possibly getting a stand there too, its a great event, its held on a bank holiday normally, its the ONLY motorsport event in London. There are some great cars like gt40's, bugatti type 35, ex formula cars, historic racers and modern LMP style cars. Great for spectators, general punters and enthusiasts. The paddock is open in the trees so you can get up close and personal with the owner/drivers as well as the cars.

    What about a 'Run to the sun' (doesn't have to be Newquay) type event?

    It was banded around a few years back, but never went any further than that. Might be more interest for doing it this year?
