I've just booked with Goldtrack for their Silverstone date on 27th September. Does anyone fancy joining me? If so, call Goldtrack on 01327 361 361. It goes without saying that Goldtrack are second to none when it comes to running a smooth, safe day, and that the standards of driving are...

I’ve had mine for 7 years and still enjoy owning it just as much as I did when I first bought it. I work long hours and have a young family so tend to take holiday from work to drive it. Inevitably, I suppose, it’s mainly used for track days and I drive it to the track and back home again...

Yesterday morning 11th February. A GT40 on a trailer towed by a Renault (?) mini-people carrier. Heading anticlockwise on the M25, southbound between J18 and the M40. Was it you? :D Charles

Club member Doc John is arranging a day at the Brooklands Museum. I have copied his email below.... Brooklands is well worth a visit, and gets better every year. I can't recommend it highly enough :D Over to John: "Not many of you will be aware of a private racing club entitled OF...

I've been in touch with the guys who run driver instruction at Dunsfold, which is perhaps best known as the place made famous by a certain BBC motoring program..... The GTD40 Club will be visiting in the Spring of 2007 (exact date to be confirmed) - which should give everyone plenty of time...

I have the vented Cosworth disks on the rear of my GTD40 and seem to be eating through brake pads (which are the Mintex 1144 compound) at an alarming rate - 2 or 3 track days per set! This time I'm thinking about going to the Mintex 1155 compound, which is more track biased. Does anyone have...

I've booked myself on Goldtrack's track day at Silverstone on Wednesday 21st June. It's a "noisy" sessioned day - 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off all day. The cost is Stg295 which I think is good value for a Summer track day on the full Grand Prix circuit. Many of us have been on Goldtrack...

I've just booked for the Bookatrack event at Donington on Saturday 18th March For those who haven't been there, the circuit is simply fabulous; lots of gradient and flowing "man-sized" corners - one of my favourites! I've been there before with Bookatrack and can't fault their...

Vaguely GT40 related, I suppose. JCB song ...a song about a five year old's feelings while riding with his dad in a JCB digger. It seems to be gaining real momentum, and there's a chance it could be the Christmas Number 1. Enjoy

I've waited until the magazine is on its way before posting this, as I didn't want to steal its thunder.... I have booked the club Christmas lunch for Sunday 4th December 2005. The lunch will be from 12.15pm at: The Star Inn, Kingston Road, Leatherhead, Surrey. KT22 0DP. This is the same...

Anyone seen this video clip currently doing the rounds? It's a standing start drag between a Porsche, a fast jet and a Yamaha. Great fun. click here! Charles
