Default Dunton Ride in a Supercar day Sunday 5th Sept 2010

in 2009 4000 people and 100 supercars turned up to make a huge difference to an underfunded charity.
we raised over £20,000, and had a great time doing it.

2010 and the event is back.
more cars, more displays and more for you to do.
the fun fair, bouncy castles
as well as the mass of stands and stalls means another fantastic family funday.

a little matter of the High speed banked track which Ford let us loose on for the whole day.
It's closed to the public so this really is a money can buy experience whether you're bringing your supercar or donating to charity to and enjoying a passenger ride.

Ferraris,
Lamborghinis,
Vipers,
Atoms
KTMS
TVRs and more.

how much fun can you have on one day?

driver notes.....

Littlehavens Trackday


The event starts at 10.00am on Sunday 5th September and is based on giving rides around the track to members of the public and ends at 4.00pm.

If you arrive anytime after 9.00am, you will be given the opportunity of practicing on this banked track that is very different to a normal flat track.

When you arrive, be careful as there are a number of speed bumps after you enter the Fords Dunton Area – I strongly suggest a slow approach.

Please check your insurance – most of you will be aware of track day restrictions. You will be asked to sign a waiver for the organisers and you will be given and fitted with a wrist band, without which you will not gain access to the test track. Passengers will also be required to sign a waiver and be fitted with a wrist band this will protect you from third party claims. Crash helmets will not be necessary and are not required.

Eight cars at a time will be on the track and drive 2 laps approximately 4 minutes total. No overtaking will be permitted and a maximum speed of 90 mph has been suggested

The track will be managed by marshals with flags. The reality is that with 8 cars on track, this will act as a brake and extreme speeds won’t be possible. Fords will stop any excesses but as we will have passengers, we will not want to terrify them.

When returning to the unloading area, the marshals will be waiting to help passengers out. You can then return to the new passenger area or go to the adjacent area for a break.


The postcode for Dunton is SS15 6EE
If you're driving a soft top with the roof up, the storm outside better have a name.

Which Charity is this one in aid of ?

Will there be static displays like DDO ? Thought the car display was a bit flat and uninspiring last year So there is an area that could be re-vamped for 2010

Shame the track isn't a bit more interesting but not much anyone can do about that.................. could never understand how Ford could consider it a test track when it's so unlike any real road
