I know a draft exists of the arrangements for the weekend and I was hoping to see it released this week, but it seems Mazda are still tweaking the setup.

Originally, there was a plan to have a 787B simulator available, but it seems it took the event over budget, so that's not likely to happen. Based on the amount of time and effort Mazda UK are putting into the weekend I'm hoping it will be well worthwhile. Bear in mind that it is a Mazda UK event, so covering all models, but expect a fair focus on rotaries, given this is the 50th anniversary of the Mazda Rotary Engine :D

Original plan was for 4 sessions over the weekend, with one of these aimed at rotary owners. Not sure if this is still the case, but if not, I will try (as a member on here, the RX-8 OC and the M*R*C) to try and focus all clubs on a particular session so we can share the event together if possible.

Yippee, details for this event have now agreed so we are GO :D

I have started a new topic/thread for the event over here, so the details are clear in the first post:

http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3816

Please wander over there and continue any discussion leading up to the event. I'm free that weekend so I'll see what consensus arises as to the best session to attend so I can meet as many rotary enthusiasts as possible.

Please use the other thread/topic and if an admin can lock this topic that would be useful 0-0
