I should say that this post was meant as an opinion on the future trend of track days, not an open bashing of any particular track day company. This said however, as Ali mentioned, we are there for fun only but it is still a potentially lethal hobby. My incident was completely avoidable and very dangerous (even the marshall complained). I am not one to complain, i would normally take my complaint directly to the individual. However, on this occasion i decided that it was far too serious a matter and felt that if something was not done, someone else could get seriously hurt. There were no experienced instructors on the day as they were all abroad on a foreign track week. As mentioned before, it has been the only time in my experience where they were awash with complaining customers and all that happened was a general ticking off in the form of another speech at lunchtime. I like this organiser a lot, the guys are very friendly and helpful and i have never had reason to be concerned before. But on this occasion they fell dangerously short of the mark! The only point i would like to make is a general observation that track days need to be more strictly regulated or the morons will ruin it for everyone! |
