Cheers guys! I would love to come along as a spectator and see whats what. Its just a matter of time before I have a go, the roads are just too restrictive.

 

get yerself a dedicated track toy Kate!

 

The airfield days are the only opportunity to really understand the dynamics of the car in safety.....well worth doing

I'd echo MarkB's comments regards being too hard on brakes....On my first airfield day I was braking very hard and very late.......often while turning in and leaning on the ABS and while it did mean I was able to marvel at just how quickly the S2000 will go round a lap my fun was very short lived as I boiled the brake fluid and my day was more or less finished

Subsequent visits I've been less hard on the car and had ultimately more fun and for longer

 

Lol, my next toy is a Suzuki SV650S. Well, once I've done the DAS.

 

JUST DOOOOOOOO IT :-)

 

What about doing the two academy days beginner and adv. that way get used to the car on semi track environment and learn so skills on how to cotrol it on the road should anything go wrong.

never done a track day but watched a couple and if your prepared to travel then Kevil is a good track, i would take a car there and do my first one.
Loads of run off and not much to hit except each other and thats pretty remote as well marshalled and flat so good visibility.

Ask Black flag Mark b and RRalson and zero that was a fun day bloody hot for an october got sun burnt

 

with the airfield day safer environment to explore the limits and a fair bit of one to one tuition.

Heres a review of the 1st Lotus one!

Have a look at Rahula's video of the day on his web site! Best

 

i've just posted about my first trackday. at donnington the track was coned to showbraking points, lines etc and Bookatrack were very impresseive from a safety apsect. once driver was black flagged and sent home within the 1st 5 minutes for dangerous driving and everyone else's performance was pretty exemplary. there were 50 cars in attendance and not one got damaged. my brakes were fine through i put new pads on a couple of weeks prior to the event but my tyres did pick up some wear.

i would recommend a trackday any time. it felt far safer driving fast on the track than i do driving fast on the roads. i also think i drove 25% faster on the track than i do on the road.

 

My last time a Bedford noise reading was 76.Db way below the limits.......BUT I did cook the brakes...they recovered after a while but what do I do to cure the problem.
ALSO would like to fit 4 point harness can this be done

 

Another vote for BookaTrack. Very good, well run, and their rules, especially wrt overtaking, really do minimise any chance of car to car contact.

As said here airfield days give you the best chance to experiment and find the limit of your car, which is good, BUT IME they do get a bit dull after a while. Proper circuits seem to give more of a buzz when you get it right, and you get a much better sensation of the speed you're travelling at.
Airfields tend to be a bit of a buch of cones in a corner/complex followed by a huge wide expanse of concrete where you aim for the next bunch of cones, and work out what happens when you get there! (It's not that bad, but you get the drift )
Good for a first day out as less to hit, but I reckon if you get the bug go straight to circuits after that instead - bit more expensive, but ultimately much more fun.
