Currently doing 1 or 2 track days a month around the UK, anyone else love the buzz of balls out speed as much as i do?

if we get a big enough group together we can get discounts on the days?

Does around the uk include Scotland? If so I would be interested, Is it a bring your own car affair or?

Really need to get a track day or two booked up to find out what the new car is capable of - you had any issues with the organisers anywhere being a chair user with hand controls? What are you driving and which tracks have you found to be best. Used to do track days before I was injured but only just got a car which would make it worthwhile going.

Hey Russ,

I have a Stagea and a GTR both set up for track, no probs at all with any organisers... yeah i did lots of trackdays too, injury hasn't slowed me too much still managing sub 8 mins at the nurburgring and getting good times at other circuits

I have done Silverstone in my old 944 and a quick circuit in my 911 before bottling it as the cost of a prang worried me! lol

I'm going to do some this year! My Volvo V70R running 330BHP is perfect for it! Running an estate around a track reminds me of old 90's TV with the Volvo estate cruising past Cosworth's ,etc in saloon car racing!

I found everyone at Silverstone very helpfull as regards "not treating me differently".

As mentioned before .... Mark Haynes (haynes manuals) runs a competition 911.

Would love to do Nurburg! One day!!!

I used to do them, although never as much as you OP - maybe three or four times a year: Brands, Bedford, Bruntingthorpe, Nurburgring, Spa, Le Mans Bugatti, and some fun days of driver training like North Weald or with Don Palmer, but sort of just got tired of it.

I think part of my getting bored was the fact that I always used my one and only car (CLK55 AMG) to both get me to the days, use on the track and back home - so I could never be full on on the track. Maybe I should have bought a track car and trailered it - but that seems excessive.

How do others manage - trailer, drive to and and from the day in the car they use of track or have a managed company look after the car for them? I'd be interested to know.
