If 2014 was the year of ‘use it’ (with mixed results let’s be honest ) then 2015 should be the year of ‘use it even more’
Here’s some things I’ve been thinking:
Whenever we get together at a trackday we always say we should do it more often. Trackdays are just more enjoyable in the company of Exigers.
Anglesey is our special annual event but in addition, the October Donny noisy day has become a season closer for many of us.
After a couple of years of hiatus it looks like quite a few of us are up for a proper Euro Spa trip this summer. As you can see from the other thread the event is now up on BaTs website at an eye-watering £850 if you commit this year going up to £995 if you book in 2015
You can see where this is going; what we have is a 2015 Exiges.com Event Calendar.
April = Anglesey (exiges day)
July = Spa (double header)
Oct = Donny (noisy day)
Given the above I’ve negotiated with JonnyL to try and secure an exiges.com triple-play deal for all 3 events :
****
Book and pay for both Anglesey and Spa this year and get Donny noisy day in October for free!
To save you the maths that means shelling out £1090 this year to secure four days on circuit next year. Yes its a lot of cash but maybe I can help you with the man maths.
Compared to booking those events next year you’re saving £440 (£240+£995+£290=£1530)
That’s £272.50 per trackday for what will ultimately be four of the best trackdays of the year at three of the best circuits ever.
Seriously what does £1090 get you in mod terms? Not a lot, I dunno…maybe a Reverie Carbon front splitter
You don’t really want anything for Xmas do you, why not have 4x awesome days next year? Basically you’ll be giving yourself something to look forward to for pretty much the whole of 2015
I think its a pretty good deal but above all else would mean there’s some guaranteed good times for next year
Sorry mate, there’s no way I’ll be able to make £995 fly for a track event …HANG ON! At £272.50 per day that’s 45% off!!! She loves a bargain, I shall offer her one.
Aye the Donny date is not up there yet but Jonny indicated they’d be running one as usual in 2015. I’d imagine once the date is up Jonny will manually add it to your booked-events for anybody that coughs up for Spa/Anglesey before 2015.
Just trying to even more man-maths; factoring in that getting there/back is also part of the fun then Anglesey=3days and Spa=4 days and Donny,…well let’s call in a day and a half so that makes 8.5days. £128/day*,…now that is a bargain

may ignore some other expenses incurred during the having of fun.
Ben, you’ve met Lisa, imagine the withering submission that would occur from a simple eyebrow raise at that one.
She’d immediately start trying to discount in risk factors, potential breakdowns, speeding fines, exchange rate loses, etc. I think I can take her with the 45% though,
It’s a magical zen state of mind where for a brief glimpse we can understand the complex 4D space of cost, emotive benefit, relative justification, and long term value on a non linear time scale. It’s a Y chromosome thing.
