Londonbikers have hooked up with Motor Sport Vision, the owners of our own London-local World-Class circuit, Brands Hatch which based about ten miles out from Central London in Kent for a track day exclusive to Londonbikers members only. The Londonbikers/MSV track day will be held on Thursday the 29th April 2008. For those of you that have never been to Brands Hatch, it's a dream circuit and one where Londonbikers have had a few trackdays already over the last couple of years.
Like anything LB does, the event is open to all riders, regardless of the bike or rider experience. The LB track day will have the standard three group arrangement, which means riders are seperated intro groups according to their experience of track riding (not road-riding). This means if you're an absolute novice or have never ridden on track but love the idea of the learning to control your bike better or to have more fun in a safer environment than the road, then you can come along and ride in the Novice group. More experienced riders are catered for in the Intermediate and Advanced groups.
We've had a glimpse of the weather to come this year already with some amazingly above-average warm and sunny days, so we're all hyped up for this day and can't wait to get back out to the track after a winter off! Come along, ride the track and enjoy the day with existing or new friends you'll make. Even if you can't ride or don't want to, then you can come and be a part of the atmosphere as a spectator and be with the riders.
There's also the chance of an LB-BBQ at the Kentagon, the infamous Brands-Hatch boozer, after the trackday. For this we need a load of people to stick around, or to come down after work to meet everyone. We'll know if this is a go-er as you all show your interest here.
For booking or more information, hit the following MSV pages. The price is £145 for the whole day. As with any trackday, you need to book early to ensure a place. Placements go quickly:
Novice Group

Sound Restriction:
Like most circuits around the country nowadays, the local residents are forgetting where they live and who was there first, and petitioning the local councils to have the circuits reduce their noise levels. Despite the sheer stupidity in this, the circuits are forced to set a maximum noise limits from bikes. Brands Hatch nowadays have an enforced 105db sound limit for bikes, with noise testing in the morning.
A road bike with a standard / road legal exhaust should be under this limit but if you are unsure then please contact MSV directly to arrange a noise test.

Previous LB Trackday Photo Galleries
We want as many folks to come along to enjoy the day. All the previous trackdays we've had have been a huge amount of fun for everyone involved. We feel like we have a great group of people and friends here and these events help strengthen those experiences and friendships. Please note that this trackday is open to everyone, not just LB memembers, so hopefully we'll be inducting a few new members on the day [Smile]
All LB riders! Join us and have a great time!
