as above lads it has been discussed before here that some people are apprehensive about doing trackdays as they feel they dont have the necessary skill or confidence to take their car out on the track ,as some of ye know mondello run a trackday training programme for lads wanting to try a trackday or for people who just want to hone their skills ie. get to know what lines to take for a bend or when to hit the brakes coming to a bend etc these days would be of great advantage to anyone who feels like the above mentioned .iv have spoken to mondello and although they don't have any specific dates for training they said if we get 10 confirmed lads to do it they will run the day for us costs 50 euro per driver ,for these days you bring your own car and helmet and need to have a valid full licence no passengers are allowed on track . i think it would be a great stepping stone for lads to come to our trackday and to really find the feel of your car in a controlled environment if any of you lads have an interest stick your name down and we will see how many we get .its happening may 19th which is a Tuesday it usually runs from 1.30pm till 5.30pm
