We will also be offering the Fissme's and the race esteems for people to drive. The rates for these will be firmed up in the next few days. Will keep u all informed.

v1p3r · 9th January 2006, 15:58

Expensive...but I guess last time's knockdown rates will never happen again! Still worth it...

Any chance of a per car deal?

sAP · 9th January 2006, 17:39

Kinda new to this, so please excuse.

What's an "FISSME"? Are there classifications for stock/modded, engine capacity and so forth? Is this a dirt or pavement track? A speedway or racetrack? Any prize money?

Or is there a place I can lookup this information somewhere online?

Its a public event. Open to all as long as the safety requirements are maintained.

Fissme = Formula India Single Seater Maruti Engine. Indias version of Formula racing.

This is not a competition, so no classes and no proze money. All bikes go together, all cars go together.

This is Indias first proper race track, which means Tarmac!

Hope this helps!

hey viper. I'm sorry that we have had to up the rates.

Believe me when I say that the facilities provided by the Club (Doctor, Ambulance, Marshals, safety car) are expensive. The Club has already taken a huge hit at the last event, and just cant afford to take another one.

a bit too expensive for me at this time... rain check .... however will definitely make it to the track... hopefully the FISSME's aren't that expensive either....

v1p3r · 10th January 2006, 00:41

Hey Biker, no issues man...like I said, it's still worth it...just that our student/shoestring budgets will need to be examined closely now...I appreciate the initiative and the lower rates you were able to give us last time...

We will still be there, atleast for the FISSMEs and the Esteems, if not our own cars.

Any chance of a per-car deal?

kiku007 · 10th January 2006, 15:07

I'll have to be content with 1 day only, 1200 for the entry plus i'll have to get a pair of 2nd hand tyres..I'll start saving for the next track Day

Sideways · 10th January 2006, 15:56

Also please mention if you would like us to organise fuel / other consumables. Please also inform us if you will require accomadation. Max 3 people per room subject to confirmation from the resort.
