Sorry I'm new to the whole Morgan Park thingy but does it usually cost that much for just the 4 hours of track time or is it because it's on a Sunday? How many cars are usually there?

Cheers

It is usually much cheaper, I am just trying to get the house paid off a bit quicker :mrgreen:

4 to 5 cars on the track at once, sometimes less when people don't drive properly 8)

I will also mention, that if you have not talked to me, and told me you are coming, then I do not know you are coming, and you will not be included in the paperwork mail-out.

You will therefore miss out :(

Can I have 2 spots Mazlot? I only want 3 cars on the track with me! The Charade is pretty wide!

Ted,

are you sure you can handle Morgan Park, it's a fairly technical track :lol:

As I recall, the Charade is just narrow enough to pass you in turn 6 at QR :mrgreen:

Mazlot - I have been studying Morgan Park on countless youtube videos, plus its pretty close to some Gran Turismo tracks I am sure.

I am disappointed that you didn't drive around the outside of me on turn 6. Just does to show how wide the Charade is especially now that I have realised its impossible chasing turn in, I just back it in instead. But I just need enough speed to get it all the way round the hairpins at QR that way, its embarassing stopping across the track mid corner (though pointing the right way if I was at the exit).

That is why I want to go to Morgan Park, and I have re-fitted the cup holders to keep me hydrated when I come back up the hill.

Ted,

Via what route will the Charade be transported to MP, or will it head out a day or two early? The Cumberland isn't as wide as MP and passing opportunities are even fewer.

Mazlot,

Is MP on the Xbox at all?

The last one of these which was done the price was the same, and there were probably about 20 cars in total from memory. MP is a fantastic track in my opinion. I'm more than happy to pay $195 for a track day there. I don't think I'd pay that for QR....

Need a second driver to get the mighty Charade up the range? We better start practice the quick changeovers now.

Is this open to MX5's only or could I invite a friend who also enjoys Morgan Park?

Open to anyone who wishes to go.

There will be an assortment of cars, each will be divided up into groups based on speed/skill.

It is being run by a driver training firm, so will be in a controlled environment.

Send Mazlot a PM for info, payment and registration details.
