Cadwell isn't far from me :D but I fancy doing donny 1st, I was supposed to do it in march this year but had a little accident and couldn't afford it

I'd love to do a trackday with some ppl from here, nice sociable thrashing ftw

basicly you turn up on the morning and try to claim a garage!

you attend a track/safety briefing and also sign on were you get a wristband to show if your a driver or passenger etc

thats normally between 7.30 and 8.30 depending on company running the day

once thats done its usually time to go out on track, they run siting laps for the first 2/3 laps for everyone, ie u all go out following a safety car to get to know the track layout/direction you need to be going!

once thats done you come back in normally then your free to go on whenever you want if its open pitlane, if sessioned then you have to wait untill your group is announced, ie novice/intermediate/expert groups

btw the best thing to do with trackdays if pop along with some ppl and go as a passenger to see if you like it or not before booking yourself on a day, you may or may not like to do it with your car!
