Trackday novice - which track???
 
All,

Got a 916, so want to abuse it in the manner it was intended by Sr Tamburini......so......

Which track for a trackday novice?

I live in Tring (herts) and want to ride to the event, so not too far

Any advice welcome

Cheers
Jas

For your first track day any track day is a good day I reckon!

Not being a 'local' ;) ... I would think that Brands isn't too far away and maybe Silverstone in the other direction?

Silverstone is a doddle, and some very good roads to get to it too

Any organisers you recommend?? I know there are loads about.

Basically want low numbers and lots of time on track, broken up a bit (sounds like a dream day?)

Cheers

Well I've only done three myself so I'm not the most experienced Track Dayer on this site by a long shot.

I've done one with this club which had No Limits track days involved helping us out. I've done one with No Limits and one with Focussed Events and they were all good. Our very own WeeJohnnyB is an instructor with No Limits.

Apex Trackdays are also supposed to be pretty good.

just book the Brands GP day on the 4th July, would make a stunning 1st day, Apex are owned and run by DSC members and there are already 35 DSC on the day so you'll be well looked after and in great company.

Hi Jason,

Got to be said that Brands is probably the most flowing of the 'local' tracks. I love Silverstone GP as well but it doesn't come up that often and tends to be seriously pricey, and Silverstone national is a bit stop/start for my liking.

Finally, you'll hear few bad reports about Cadwell! More like a very twisty country lane than a big wide track, but challenging and loads to go at (and I've only been there once!).

The one guarantee is that you'll have more fun, and feel more comfortable, at any TD where there's a bunch of DSC members. :D

Cheers,

Ali

Err ... 6 groups of 7 Dibs?

Remember that calculator you had out last night?

Nearly 50 DSC at a non-club track day - that's pretty impressive!

It would be a great atmosphere, fantastic track. I might even bring the 996!
