......Not sure, I've always booked and paid in advance before. I know Mark & Tom always leave their booking till pretty late, don't
know if they pay in advance or not. I think I've seen people paying up when I've booked in on the day though....

interesting, maybe i'll speak to lydden again. I bet she's getting fed up of me now. That said, to be fair she probably would prefer us to
book in advance, makes sense as far as business goes, but not for us due to weather!

after further conversations with Lydden Hill, those who attend can all enter into the same group, which means we will be on, and off (for social!) the
track at the same time, rather than all being split up all day. Which is good news
Is it not open pit then?

No - not been before. I guess I assumed that it was open pit based on others descriptions. No issues though still up for it - weather permitting.

At Lydden they run it as three 20min sessions per hour. That's quite a long stint, you'll be glad of your rest at the end of the
session.
There's nothing to stop you coming back into the pits during your session to make any adjustment, and then going back out again - 20 mins gives
you enough time to do this.

What's the story with tools and spares at track days? Is there somewhere secure to leave them whilst on the track?

well i will be trailering my car there, so the back of my car will be available for anyone wanting to lock anything away.
Ive always found it to be just a trust thing, everyone seemd to leave all their equipment in the paddock during the track time.
