Well I'm definitely coming. Have booked whole weekend off as missed Monmouth as I got stumped and had to spend weekend away .
Not this time.
Not this time.
B****r, its a Sunday. Got to earn a living, or a few pennies at least.
I know how you feel, I work Sundays too, but iv booked the day as holiday
As a driving instructor, you work the hours to suit the customer.
Being self-employed, no holidays, just days you don't earn. Currently have two pupils on a Sunday that can't easily do other days.
You've seen the adverts, "work the hours to suit you". Well it's nonsense. As a driving instructor, you work the hours to suit the customer.
Don't rush into it. Lots of research first. I do it because I love driving, mortgage is paid, so I can earn little and still exist. You can do lots of hours, and earn a decent amount, but the hours and the learners will send most insane.I was looking at instructor courses, but the hours have started to put me off
I've paid hardly any tax for three years now. Thank you all for subsidising me.Yes I can sympathise with that! No holidays, no Bank Holidays, no sick pay, etc.... Still at least I can work over a grotty weekend & take a sunny (I think I remember those! ) day off in the week - if there's not too much to do....
I know from experience that driving instructor's don't earn the figures in the adverts (well they can EARN that figure, but it's very different to profit!). I always quite fancied being a driving instructor, but I've done enough instructors' accounts to know it wouldn't pay the bills easily.
Anyway, can't you offer an extended lesson & get them to drive to Donington while they pay you - you only have to avoid motorways. :idea:

@Cento186 you game?
It will be close but I'm pretty sure I can make it. Really want to get the front polybushed first if possible or the journey will ruin me lol
95% sure I can be there though :slayer:
If you can make it to Nowich can leave your car in the normal place and go in mine, split the fuel between us?

Does this cause problems, or maybe we could enter the production car class..... :idea:

as the Circuit is on the side of a Dual Carriageway - @ 10 mins from M1,
I suspect a relatively small event will be fine,
not like it's castle combe..!!

Yes you're probably right, but are the bits we were going to (food & museum) within the entry perimeter? We're not going to pay £15 to get in (well I would, but would then want to sit watching the racing all day! ).
I think the museum's separate: but need someone who's been there to confirm....
Looks like it's near the entrance - mappy thing below

Who knows the circuit first hand?
