Honda Revolutions are doing a 'Can you handle it?' day with Ride Drive in March @ Burntingthorpe.

More details on the Honda Rev's forums here

Might be of interest.

Ade, if you've never tracked - do Elvington first. Airfields are better for gaining confidence and Croft is a fast circuit with armco and gravel, if you haven't driven a circuit before, it's not the best place to start. As with all trackday companies, you have to book tuition if you want it.

Joper90 - Motorsport Events do airfield days at Keevil (near Westbury - highly recommended) and a couple of other airfields fairly close to you (Hullavington and Kemble).
Combe do their own trackdays (reportedly not the safest ones though).

OK

Checked Bookatrack, they have Croft (circuit) or Elvington (airfield)

Anybody have any experience or views on these two?

Is it best to get track insurance?

Do bookatrack just give you free reign or do they train you too?
Croft is a good circuit but there is rather alot of stuff to hit and you'll be very aware of it all as you go around which could be quite daunting if you're new to it all and you car is worth alot.

Elvi is pretty dull by comparison but that does mean that you can explore the limits of car and driver without having to give a thought to scenery (armco, trees etc) flashing by your window at high speed.

Bookatrack days are very well run, safe and freindly but tuition will cost you an extra
