Driving Day - Friday 17th June 2022, at "Drive Limits” North Weald Airfield, Essex.
Club members have enjoyed several fantastic days at this event previously, which you may have seen featured in Vette News. I’m pleased to say we are participating again this year on Friday 17th June.
If you like to drive your Corvette “enthusiastically", (or want to try a bit of spirited driving) then this is for you.
It is definitely not a track day where you might be lapping a circuit with hot hatches in front or behind. Instead it is a controlled event with only one car at a time on a wide open course, there are no barriers or gravel traps to hit, so it is much safer for you and your car. (You are not required to wear a crash helmet). You decide how fast you want to drive, there is no pressure to “keep-up” or go faster than you are comfortable with. In summary, this is a fun day which gives you a chance to explore your car's performance and test your driving skills in a safe environment. No previous experience is required.
In previous events we have started the day with driving a 90 degree bend at progressively faster speeds, learning cornering technique. There might be other exercises and the second half of of the day is likely to be driving a marked-out course (painted lines and just a few cones), taking around 70 to 80 seconds to complete. The organisers will provide some instruction but it is not intensive training.
The event is a full day from 8-30 in the morning until 4pm, so the cost of £80 is reasonable for what is quite a unique opportunity. It is also a sociable day with plenty of opportunity to have a chat with fellow participants.
In previous years we have had C3, C4, C5, C6 and C7’s. Perhaps we can entice a C8 this year?
Here is the link to the Drive Limits website where there is more information. On the calendar it is the “Activity Day” on Friday 17th June:

If you would like to book a place, please do so directly (it would be appreciated if you can post here or PM me so that we have an idea of numbers).
There are currently only 10 places remaining so if you are interested, I would suggest booking immediately.
