I was just looking for a small local track and seen on mallory s website the date and cost so wanted to see if any one was interested

Yes it is Javelin although the book early price is £149.00.

Javelin are on the list of approved operators for my insurance so I'm up for this.

Whats mallory like? Ok for a first trackday?

[IAN G]

I would say so , my first was silverstone gp circuit was a bit daunting so should be ok with mallory

[russelld]

Chris It is small circuit and relatively easy to get to grips with. If you take it steady initially and build your speed through the day you will be fine.

One thing to bear in mind is that it's a 750MC Race meeting the following day, so some of them may use it as unofficial testing (I know of at least one person already). Not saying that's a bad thing, just pointing out. I've had bad experience of race cars on track days.

Just seen this thread. I'm already booked on this Javelin day. Loads of race cars booked in and it's the last race of the season so they'll be using it for practice for Sunday. I'll be surprised if you are able to get a discount - they should be able to fill the day easily because of the race meeting the following day. Mallory is not a novice circuit, it's very fast and you will hit the barriers if you go off. Silverstone is much better for novices - very wide, lots of run-off, massive gravel traps and long straights give lots of opportunity to pass.
