Top Advice For Track Day Fun


Driving your car down to a professional race track and pretending your in the grand prix for a bit is an activity that is getting more and more popular. According to recent stats released by the biggest experience day business in the country, 20% of us have now been on a track day or bought one for someone else. They are also becoming increasingly popular as corportate entertainment. Because they are a relatively new trend however, there is still a lack of understanding about how they work. Take a look at these golden nuggets of advice.

Insurance. You should find that track day operators have full insurance cover that protects all their staff and anyone that comes onto their land. This is good news as insurance can sometimes cost quite a bit, but make sure you check with the track just in case as they sometimes don’t have their own.

Driver. Depending on what type of track day you go on, you may be driving yourself or you may have someone else doing the pleasure. If someone else drives you around first it is very good idea to pay attention to what they do and say as their knowledge will be invaluable when your turn comes.

Licence. As race tracks are on private land and have their own insurance, it is not strictly necessary for you to have a licence. Having said this, it is rare for a track to except people that do not have a license as it put the other drivers on the track at more risk.

Tires. Unless you are on a team building day and are not paying for any wear and tear, you might want to take care of your tyres. They can cost you a small fortune if you buy new, and whilst they might last years driving normally, just half an hour fast driving on a track can wear them right out.

Caution. Although race tracks are statistically safer places to be than public roads, this does not mean you can drive like Evil Knievel. Track days are a great deal more dangerous than Henley Regatta for example, so make sure you’ve woken up before you get in the car.
