Venue: Pembrey Racing Circuit - Llanelli. (Post code for sat nav directions: SA16 0HZ.)
Date: Saturday 21 March
Cost: £150 (Full day), the price for a second driver sharing the same car will be an extra £30.
How to book the day: Pembrey Circuit are now only taking on line bookings.
This can be done by accessing their
website. Click on the tab titled Track & Test Days. Then scroll down to the 21 March. Titled Car -Trackday PPDS. Click on the ‘add to basket button’, this then takes you to make the payment and also asks for the driver and vehicle details to be completed.
Please either drop me an
email or contact me by phone to let me know that you have booked. This makes it easier for me to keep tabs on the running total of entrants for the day
If sufficient numbers can be identified the circuit will be restricted to our sole use. If not, then it might be opened up to a second group of people (open practice for racing/other cars etc.).
The plan for the day is to have a briefing session followed by two sessions of up to 18 cars in each session then open pit lane for the remainder of the day as we did in 2019.
Last year we used both circuits, the old in the morning and the new layout in the afternoon, this format will also be used this year.
If I can get the maximum numbers for the day (36) it will be on a first come / first secured basis.
In previous years one individual clocked up an amazing track distance of 170 miles during the full day!
Currently there are a number of interested entries, with some cars potentially being double driven.
At present, most of these cars are Westfield / Caterham / Porsche and some Tin Tops & Rally Cars.
Everyone who attended this event in 2019 and also the years before stated they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, there were no accidents, nobody miss-behaved and that they were looking forward to the next one. We even had sun all day long on both days in 2018 and 2019.
Hoping to bolster the already confirmed entries and to keep costs to a minimum, this invite is offered to all members of:
- The Welsh Sprint and Hillclimb Championship, past, present and future
- Members of the Westfield Sports Car Club.
- Members of Porsche Club GB (Region 14).
With the plan to run an ‘open pit lane’ format there will be more than enough track time for all to enjoy empty tarmac.
This is an ideal opportunity for a pre-season shakedown to establish if all of those secret winter modifications will make a significant difference. Or perhaps you have a new ‘steed’ for this year that you would like to try out.
If your competition car is not quite ready for the new season then bring your road car along.
For members of Porsche Club GB this event will allow you to explore the capabilities of both yourself and your vehicle in a safe environment.
I will be having a further discussion with Phil Davies the circuit manager closer to the date regarding circuit opening times, possibility of borrowing / hiring helmets for those who do not have their own etc. and also the possibility of race tuition.
Please note: The circuit rules do not allow passengers to be carried in cars taking part, consequently wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends and mates can spectate or if you are inclined then they can double drive your pride and joy (if you trust them!).
No profit is being made by the organiser (me); the cost for the use of the circuit for the day will be paid by individuals directly to the circuit management.
You are guaranteed to get more time in the seat of your chosen chariot during this day than all season in any Speed Series. Use this opportunity to hone your driving skills and prevent you coming second on the serious events.
Remember Pembrey is a double header in four different championships and is possibly being used for a third event this year, consequently this will be a valuable practice opportunity not to be missed!
