A track day is an event at which you can drive/ride your own vehicle on track, with no speed restrictions. It's the one place you can test your vehicle to the limit without having to worry about speed cameras and the range of dangers faced on public roads.

Your first priority is to book a day where you are going to feel comfortable with the level of track time you are getting. Check out the links below for a full explanation of open pit lane, sessions, taster days and also some of our most frequently asked questions.

If you want to go out on track whenever you choose, then an open pit lane day is for you. It simply means the track is open all day - apart from a lunch break - and you can drive as much as you like. If you want to run for lap after lap, you can - or if you want to do a few laps, come into the pits and change your setup then go back out again - this day allows you to do so. Remember driving on circuit takes a lot of concentration so it is important to manage your time sensibly.

Days which run in sessions absolutely guarantee a set amount of track time where you have a window - or session, usually 20 or 30 minutes - out on track with drivers/riders of similar experience. If you want to measure your performance against your others and work to a structured timetable, then this type of day is best for you. You'll be divided into groups - usually novice, intermediate and expert - and then head out on track within your group.

It’s well worth investing in a session with an instructor, even if you are an extremely experienced rider or driver. The instructor can help calm your nerves, explain track etiquette if you didn’t catch all of it at the briefing and guide you around the track making sure you don’t make any embarassing faux pas, such as missing the pit lane entry!
