FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - cully - 06-02-2015
French car show 2015
this falls right for my shifts and the wife is interested in attending too
but she would like to hotel if were staying over night
so my plans are hotel Friday and sat night local,
were looking at track time too which session is everyone looking at?
I'm considering the session 2 two hour open pit
anyone else considering a hotel?
or any recommendations for local accommodation?
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - lolsteve - 06-02-2015
Tempted by a 2 hour open pit but last year seemed to be on it for very little amount of time before being taken back off again to go que up
Would do camping though rather than hotel
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Dum-Dum - 06-02-2015
I'm thinking about the middle of the 3 2 hour open pit sessions.

Hmmm. Not booked yet as waiting to see...
But liked the idea of early bird for a quiter track!?
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - cully - 06-02-2015
wont be quiter as the tracks limited to 20 cars
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Piggy - 06-02-2015
But if theres only 15 cars to go out!?!
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Dum-Dum - 07-02-2015
Nah Piggy they probably sell 40 tickets for it and only let 20 out at a time so you have to hope enough people break down or give up nice and early on in the 2hours so you can then get a decent amount of the time on the track.
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - lolsteve - 07-02-2015
Is that why we had to keep coming off every 3 laps last year?
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Lwilliams - 07-02-2015
Last year I went out morning and afternoon, they were both good hardly no waiting at all, and I came in and went out a few times. Obviously could be different this year, depending on how many they sell.

Yeah the thing with combe is if you have a 'off ' is usually quite a spectacular one,remember 2 years ago someone rolling they xsara behind me right at the start of the 2 hour open pit so ended up waiting a good 45 minutes for that to clear.
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Eeyore - 09-02-2015
I thought the 2 hour track times were quite good and good value for money. Wasnt too much queuing. Reason we kept coming was.... because people kept coming off!
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - lolsteve - 09-02-2015
It's good value for money if we can stay on but last year was silly the amount people were coming off.
I think I counted how much time we actually had on and it was about 45 mins
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - cully - 09-02-2015
think id be happy with 1 hour out of the 2 on track
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - 7057sam - 09-02-2015
Yeah still miles better that any of the forge action/spring action days for pricing
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Sian - 10-02-2015

RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - WiNgNuTz - 10-02-2015
Dunno about my bro and his missus, but if we attend, me and Lou will be looking for a hotel as well, as she'll be quite heavily pregnant by then, so REALLY isn't up for tenting! [emoji38]

Don't even think it was that to be honest mate, so many Saxo wankers running out of talent and closing the track!
RE: FCS 15 track time camping/hotel - Dum-Dum - 13-02-2015
^^^this or lady gardens with cars so shit they were breaking down on the out lap. I cant believe these people think their cars are fit for the track.
