Anyone interested in renting this track for a day ?

Its located 2 hrs or so from Calais.

looking at 2100 euro for a weekday in April..........

What people say about it


Folembray



Folembray
France
Length: 1.2 miles

Just a couple of hours (less if you're being enthusiastic) from Calais, Folembray is one of those many small unlicensed tracks that seem to be scattered around France. Don't let the term unlicensed put you off, it just means that no racing takes place there. That's actually quite a good thing because there's no spectator protecting barriers to biff your car should you fall off.

But we digress. As circuits go Folembray is bordering on bijou, but that's not to say that it is without its challenges as it climbs gradually before falling back again. There is heavy braking to be done at each end, but other than that it is quite fast.

Magic moment

The second half of the lap sees the track in descend mode. The downhill chicane, then, is quite exciting.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sounds like fun, i would be up for this.......

I could be interested in this

Bit more info here, including a video of a lap.

This one looks quite good too.

looks even better.............

shall I see what they charge ?

Dave

Price for April on a shared day is £70 which is pretty good.

If they did exclusive day for same price as the other one & we could get 15 of us then it would work ut to approx £100 each which is a great price for a day of play & I could take Poggy to his country of birth too

Have emailed them...........

You do realise if you are faster than any of us men you may be lost overboard on the way back

Hehe better pack my life jacket then

That is a very good price, im well up for this now..............should be fun in my IS?

The other circuit found by Lee is 2300 euros for a day.

Lee's circuit is a proper race track.

Place I found is not so there is no Armco to hit........

I prefer Lee's place...........

Price has some extras which I'm looking at

ambulance ??

Fire engine ??

I'm more interested in the facilities..........food etc

Moving forward whichever one we decide on we need to consider numbers.

More people on the track = less cost per car BUT can be too crowded.

Way round that is to have 2 sections with 1/2 hour slots for each

Any ideas ??

prices.............plus VAT @ 17.5%

no of peeps no of peeps no of peeps no of peeps

2300 euros in £ 15 25 30 40
£1,586.21 £105.75 £63.45 £52.87 £39.66

Nice work Dave
Tbh, if the track is only open to LOC then i'm sure we could sort ourselves out as to who goes out when. Its when there are other clubs there that it can get awfully difficult to find a space.

As Janey said if 15 people are interested it'll be €153ea, which will work out about £100. Which for the experience is nothing.


EDIT: Must post quicker

OK

can a mod change title to Lees place ???

Next thing is when ?

For it to happen I need people to commit but paying the full amount. I'll have to pay the 2300 euros as prolex to the circuit.

I'd suggest a Friday so some people could make a weekend of it.

May ?

or March..........

Shall we go for 15 then ?

if we don't get enough I'll contact the MR2 Roadster club and LOC who i deal withy and are by & large decent people

Me Please yer MR2 people are nice, see one today, after he dropped car off with Steve for turbo to be fitted took him + his wife to the airport

should be a nice conversion..........PE turbo kit with a few extras

Yeah, think 15 is a decent number, could probably push to 20 but definatly no more

We got the ring end of March so I think May would be good, but as it goes at the minute i'm easy for dates next year, so if anyone has any preferences then i'll go with that

Few extras you should of see all the box's he had

May sounds good for me




3 more left today...........intercooler -- TRD LFW -- 2.5" intercooler piping

Dave is this a post regarding a track day ....or about parts for an mr2

yea may sounds good to me.....

blame gordon

so offer up 15/20 places ?

offer as many places as you want ......as long as one is for me

and May sounds good

Its in France may have to give this a miss

Dave, VAT is 19.6% in France

as i am GB vat registered i dont pay that.............i then charge you lot 17.5%........

no excuses for you though............

we need your translating skills !!

you had better get used to hearing this one Dave

"trop lent allez plus rapidement"

son parce qu'il est vieux

Yes I will be coming, I can manage to get some friends coming aswell if you need more cars

yup count me in!!!!!

Thought we could

looking good.........

will you (nothern peeps) be stopping overnight near the channel tunnel for an early start on the day of the event ?

Count me in for this if in May, whats the final figure with 15 people then ???

think it works out to be around 105 each not bad if you ask me, and thats for all day

add vat to that

Possibly down near Folkstone, then stop in france on the track day night for a bit of shopping then next day before heading back over.

will ask organisers about places close by

yeah im ok with staying over!

Would be nice to stay over for some beers then go shopping the next day get some cheap booze yemgi what kinda petrol do they have over there apart from shell vpower ????

There are Shell VPower, Total Excellium and BP Ultimate, all are 98RON but Shell is almost inexistant in France. I use BP Ultimate when I can because it is cheaper than Excellium Excellium is the easiest to find though

Anyone else up for this, it'll be an experience you won't forget in a hurry

yup.............

need to get all LOC people sorted before I offer it to other people.

although prolex-uk is organising it its a non profit thing
