Have a good day mate, I have 2 daughters in their 20's and I'm sure I wouldn't let them drive on a trackday in my s2. 10/10 for bravery, good luck and enjoy.

well we did it without any car damage, my daughter spun the car 3 times whislt driving with the ards instructor lol she has learnt a little about what a car can do.#

all in all a good day.

Unfortunatly we did see an mx5 spin and roll over ending up on its roof with no rollcage, driver was ok but passenger was airlifted to hospital, fingers crossed he is ok.

This did hit home with my daughter how dangerous cars can be.

Crikey! Didn't they have a rollbar? I wouldn't feel safe on the road with a convertible without a bar, never mind on track - that's nuts!

Oh that's quite serious! Hope the passenger is ok

Where's the chap saying he'd never seen an accident on track and why would you want insurance..
