That may well be the case, but there will also be loads of Track hardened drivers on the track, which makes it a little daugnting, I haven't been on a track for years and when I did it was pretty quiet, for me it'll be a little to much, I'd rather skip this one and go later in the year after some driver training

If I had an old banger, that I didn't care about, I'd be up for it.

But that wasn't what I said.... Your car....

and like you've said you've had plenty of track experience and you wont take your car on... Why?

The reason I haven't taken my car out is because up until now its been owned by my employers and they have not allowed me to take it out

I own the car now and you will be seeing it on track regularly

btw - can we add additional drivers to the same car for an additional fee or would it be the full amount. Just thinking that captain neameo would probably use the ra but not his wagon. if i can get a trailer then i can use his barge to tow the ra there

Additional Drivers are usually charged at £25ish but I will confirm this once it goes live in the shop

Remember mate, its not how fast you go its how quick you are

Top Speed is not that important at Brands its about getting your lines right something the instructor or one of the more experianced track day drivers [ there will be quite a few of us there ] can show you quite easily

I am not trying to force anybody into it !!

A days driver training with either Mark Stevens or Andy [Car Limits] will of course be of Massive benefit before a Trackday

Although I did my first trackday at Bedford with no prior training, I spent 1/2 an hour with the Instructor and had a great experiance.

Newbie's are required to show a a Red X in the rear window so that the more experianced drivers give due care to them

So don't be put off.

Incidents are rare on properly run Days

true as it's the indy circuit. although the ra would be on the limiter way before the end of the straight lol. what's brands like for eating tyres? not expecting to push on the first track day but i can include some tyres in the cost equation. just more interested in learning the lines. Then progressing when i get out for the day with Andy Walsh.

Tyre wear can depend on your driving style
