what has my trackday taught me!
Fast exotic cars arnt always fast,
expensive cars look nice but people are scared to drive them,
your not there to race anyone,
track etiquette
a std car with good tyres and small suspension tweaks can work well
Rain levels the playing field,
dont buy a caterham/7/westfield......one of my all-time wants has been squashed
track tuition is not just for beginners .....highly recommend it!
if a race circuit offers garages take one,
you can have a blast with a £500 car built in a shed
what has the day cost me...
£170 trackday entry,
£30 tuition,
£110 fuel roughly 100ltrs,
£140 tyres x4, these will go again
£100 front disc/pads these will go again,
£30 food costs,
£50 oil change,
I did around 170 road miles and 150 track miles to the fuel i probably have 1/4 of a tank left
I had a very good day i would highly recommend it to anyone
but please make sure your car is up to the track miles as they are hard on the car
anyway im off to look at my next track day
