Scotty Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I quite fancy a bit of winter wet fun and it should be cheaper. I'll ask for later in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I'm taking some clients there at he start of September, and am sure we have been quoted £550 + VAT....Maybe we are getting a decent bulk discount due to the number of attendees?

fatcat Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Can we not be added to your list of clients and join in with your lot ? Of course we will pay. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidicks Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'd love to help, but unfortunately that's just not possible. The event is being organised by our Corporate events team, and each employee has to put in a request for their desired number of tickets, and obtain sign-off from their boss. In other words, all the tickets have now been allocated - typically this type of event is oversubscribed, so if any places became available, they would quickly be snapped up. Even if any places were available, I'd still need sign-off that you were good clients and worthy of the event - I'm not sure I could reasonably justfy that you were senior repsrentatives of UK Insurance companies looking to invest £m with us!! I'm really sorry I can't help, but I will provide a write-up of the day if that's any consolation? Sidicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sidicks - just in case there's any misunderstanding we were not trying to blag a freebie. We were simply hoping it was possible for you to increase the numbers with us paying the relevant increase in cost. The idea was simply to get it at a bulk buy price rather than on the much higher individual price. You may realise this but the way I've interpreted your post I felt I better further explain.

fardene Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I did this day last week! - the best driving day by far - thanks to my host RPS planning - London ! (plug). If you do get offered this don't pass it up! The cater's are the most fun - the jag looks the best but my RS4 is quicker! but the JP1 are seriously hard to drive, but extreme! Second fastest in Cater's on the day! - not bad as some people had been a couple of times before! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Tracked my VX there twice this week (South West circuit) and two more visits (both on the GT) before the month is over. Great track and I live 4 miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 All of these visits were arranged through Lotus-on-Track but I've also done it direct through Motorsport Vision. Have also done a couple of days through Easytrack but prefer the LoT ones as they are really well run and we're all running similar cars, so not having to contend with the "Fast and Furious" mob. I'm there all day tomorrow with LoT on an open-pitlane day trying out my new lightweight wheels and Nitron suspension setup. Cracking weather for it!

MiguelMcTyson Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I got some prices for a possible work do recently, if I remember correctly the volume discount only kicks in at around 10 participants, there was very limited availability for this year, they did have space in December, having done this in the rain I wouldn't be against the idea, if there was enough interest I could book it through my firm.

Scotty Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm gonna get a £350 voucher from my company for long service and this seems like a good thing to put it toward. Does anyone have some money burning a hole in their pocket that is interested in going. It's always more fun competing against people you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 At the start of last week I'd have said "probably yes" but I've just committed another chunk of cash to some more engine mods on the VX so unlikely now, I'm afraid. Unless of course I can get me some form of company sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
