hottrax
 
i dont think ive ever used these guys.

anyone here able to recomend them or give info on their experience,

i was looking at their members club, which for a one off fee gives you access to upto 45 trackdays in 2006. so was intereested to find out what theDSC memebers thought of the outfit??

think i've used them once only. seem to remember them being fine. i recon other companies dates just usually suit me better. seem to go with focused events more often than not.

Bungi 05-Jan-2006 17:52

yes ive seen focused have some good dates for 2006, like when they are at the same curcuit for 2 consecutive days, which i reckon is well useful, however hottrx date are not out yet?!!?!

We're going to be using Hottrax in feb - on a Sunday, for the first time.
Usually use No Limits, and have used FE a couple of times too.

Yep I've used them, no problems with them and the membership does look good, but it's gone up from £1000 to £1500 this year and they only allow so many weekend dates now which they previously didn't.

Technically you probably only need to do 15 dates at the bigger circuits and you break even, anymore is a bonus.

Try here for the hottrax dates, amongst others. Just click on the word bike in the trackdays blurb - and there is a full calendar each month

yes they have limited some of the access to weekend dates etc, and id agree id need to be doing at least 15 days to consider it, in the absence of their dates i cant decide if it suits me yet, and didnt want to apperar to be plugging their organisation.

yes thanks im aware of this site and it only appears to have the dates upt o feb for uk.

as does hottrax website

although im sure they will be along and update it all soon

JPM 05-Jan-2006 18:06

Also I think it limits which dates/circuits you do, if you've got a max of 45 trackdays in a year with one company for a set fee paid up front, you're unlikely to do any other track days that year, so you might decide not to do a date which is really convenient because it's not with Hottrax and end up doing another one with Hottrax with some added inconvenience.

I know 2 people who did the membership with them last year and they both did around 40 dates each so it obviously paid dividends for them

I used Hottrax two or three times last year, had no problems, they were well run and well organised, no complaints.
