neeeeeeeeeek Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Nothing up to date (I checked) so starting a new thread. Has anyone got any track day recommendations? where you drive sports cars rather than take your own on the track. Loads on living social offering similar things. Be good to have a few laps in a Lambo or a few cars on a decent track. My brother has taken his own car on a track day before so think a single lap would just be frustrating. He lives down near Gloucester so if you know of ones in that are that would be even better!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I had a few days off before xmas with little to do, so I looked up the options for tracking my car (and a few supercar experiences as well). The closest tracks I could find were Donnington and somewhere out towards Hull, but they weren't open (ie running track day events) on the days I was off, so it all came to nothing. Did have a friend take me out on a trial bike in some woods (legally, he pays to use the woods). That was fun, given that I've never ridden a motorbike before! Good job it's all low speed :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks unfortunately most track day experiences or super car experiences are just that experiences! six laps at most with instructor who will only let you go so fast for obvious reasons. most tracks do open track days where you can take your own car with all the risks that involves, far better to buy an old roadworthy sports car for a few hundred quid do it up suspension wise , brakes and tyres and try and get the most out of it. a friend of mine used to take an old golf gti to Donington and run rings round supercars making them look very silly but great fun:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 My one track day so far was 4 hours at Bedford Autodrome sharing an Elise with it's owner. Amazing fun. I was supposed to be tracking my Z4M at the same time, but hadn't arranged the insurance in time and didn't want to risk it without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertyboop Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We've booked loads in the last few years. We always have it at prestswald hall track. If you have a look on track days or everyman they have some pretty good deals on. No matter how many times we've been we have always chosen to drive the same car. They also give you a certificate, and a score out of 40 for fun. Have a look on group on there should be deals on there too. ---------- Post added 05-01-2018 at 15:21 ---------- Btw pretswald hall in in Leicestershire. Took us about 1 hour to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Inspired a little by this thread http://www.oultonpark.co.uk/ I just found this. Open track days appear to be regular, first one is the 13th Jan, 1 week Sat. FULL DAY - OPEN PIT LANE £139.00 They also specifically offer novice only and road car only days http://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/products/novice-only-car-trackday/ Sat 17 Feb Oulton Park Novice Only Trackday from £119.00 Hmm, just checked the location, it's a bit far, 2:30hrs drive to get there. Cadwell park is the closest this website lists at nearly 2hrs away! Donnington Park is actually closer, but no novice days. https://www.trackdays.co.uk/track-days/donington-park/ I managed on an normal Lotus Elise club session though, when I'd never driven an Elise before... Blyton park is about the same distance as Donnington, but slightly cheaper. Sunday 25th Feb Blyton Park Outer Circuit Open Pitlane 95 dB £89.00 Edited January 5, 2018 by Cyclone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday 25th Feb Blyton Park Outer Circuit Open Pitlane 95 dB £89.00 you are missing out if you dont want to drive to OULTON Park or Cadwell Park 2 of the most testing and technical tracks in the uk, well worth 2 hrs to get there:thumbsup: Donington can get quite boring except for the early part of the circuit, Craner curves up to the top straight big kahunas time to take it fast:love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
