As long as TDO’s do outdoor briefings, the risk is minimal. Fingers crossed common sense prevails! Oh I agree. If I was a decade or two younger, I'd be there in a flash. It's that link between the older you are, the more serious the illness is, that has me worried. The weekly shop is a necessary risk, but no matter how hard I try to convince myself .. bombing round Oulton Park isn't. Might just have to practice my racing lines in Asda for now. 😎 Quote
Mole Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I think although unnecessary..maybe safer on track that in Asda.. especially considering all the idiots doing their annual shopping.. Sainsbury's now allowing only the oldies to shop for the first hour..maybe the TDO s could allow the same!!! Take care..I think being sensible for the next few months is the right thing..then have fun again for many years when this is over! 1 Quote
TAFKARM Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 MSV still going ahead, similar response to Javelin. https://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/news/2020/msv-trackdays-how-we-are-responding-to-coronavirus-covid-19/ 2 Quote
Andrew Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Liking this bit. No briefing will be required for experienced rider/drivers, i.e. if you have participated in a track day at that circuit within 18 months, subject to significant changes in weather or track-conditions 1 Quote

AdamR Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Me too Andrew, finally some sense! BTW I had no idea you 'had so much life experience' - seems a sensible decision to keep away from people as much as you can in that case. Fairly sure I will book on, just need to check car starts / runs etc, could be the 'last hurrah' for some time! Quote

Tbh, I reckon I could attend a trackday .. park up in the far corner of the paddock and keep myself to myself.. but for me trackdays are more than just the driving. I do enjoy a wander round the paddock having a poke around the cars and a bit of a chat? Wouldn't be the same. Make the most of it chaps, I cant see it lasting for long. Liking the "life experience" bit too Adam. 😄 He wasn't old .. he died of an overdose of life experience? 😄 2 Quote

AdamR Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Nah. Just keep an eye on temps if in a queue and shut off if necessary. Never needed on track. Better flow through the rad without one too. Quote
