Beginner track day
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2010 8:55 pm
Well as Flip flops post started,
I know there are quite a few people on here who ask when it is suitable to break their track virginity.
Most days with the elise lot are sensible and you could go out for your first time,
but i'm looking at a dedicated Beginner track night,
It would be roughly 2 hours in an evening, limited to 30 cars with 2 instructors on hand for them. Rule is maximum of 3 trackdays under your belt.
It wouldn't just be lotus, i've had interest from a few 350z owners as well and will keep asking about.
As stated in many threads Tracks are a safer place to push your car than on the road,
everyone is going the same direction, No Road furniture to hit and no speeding tickets.
Yes you could end up in the gravel if you are pushing beyond your limits, but you should know your limits when your a learner (the first time you got in a car i doubt you did 120mph sideways, thats cause you know you have a limit)
It would be nice as well if some track junkies could come down and pax with the new drivers to help them enjoy the right lines.
Unsure of price yet but ball park i believe would be around £100 per car
yes there are cheaper 2 hour sessions but they don't always have instructors and the level of driving will vary a lot, when this would be easier for keeping the level roughly around the same.
I have noticed a lot of interest on seloc about these down south so should we have one up here.
Ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers Adam
