Here's the list http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb/vie ... d&start=30
A few 2 hr evening sessions before 19th Sept. SIDC trackdays always good and 4hrs better than 2 to get acclimatised also easier to get instruction if you want.
How does the trackday cover work for part-day events? Does a 2hr evening seesion count as one track day, same as a 7hr full day event?

Re: 1st time out
If it were me I'd start with a SIDC because they are so well run and the drivers are the best behaved.

Re: 1st time out

Mary at S_E knows all the Trackday organisers, so you just need a screen print out, in my case the front page of LOT which shows me logged in.

Re: 1st time out
Here's some free advice i was given before my first track day and i always pass on.
Most important - Before going on track ENGAGE BRAIN!
Next - If at any time during your first track say you start to feel confident - GET IN TO THE PITS IMMEDIATELY !! - that is when you will crash.
Enjoy the day - probably see you there.

A wise mod told me "when you think you are getting good, go into the pits......because you're not"!
They have free KH instructors too!
A great package!
