Another vote for No Limits. Very friendly (although have had one instructor who was a bit of a kno8). Suitable for Novices, as well as intermediates with free tuition and advice (some companies will charge you)

NL for me as well, MSV were a bit unorganised when I used them but that was a while ago. FE were ok and I've used them probally the most.

My last ones have all been MSV and they're fine - Cobby is an instructor so always have a chat with him!

Cobby did my ACU test day. Nice bloke.

He spotted the DD bike in the morning and came over for a chat

MSV or NL

Liking MSV more nowadays a cost a bit more but never as full

FE are not great but cheaper tend to pack then in upto the track limit and mix the ability groups to fill it up

Fast guys in novice not a great combo

done a fair few euro events with FE and found them to be quite good on the whole. the boss kevin is a bit of a meglomaniac at times but their events seem to be well run, accomodation v good. and the rest of the staff are lovely. they also get some really good instructors such as neil hodgson, steve plater, Niall mackenzie, simon crafar.

obe theing they do that i like is that they use a transponder on each of the bikes so they can adjust the groups as necessary to keep the faster ppl away from the slower ppl which i found generaly makes things safer and more fun as you dont end up with fast group ppl in the novices just becoause the fast group had sold out

found NL to be a bit all over the shop and their communication very poor tbh, i was also on the UKMOC trackday last year and found the nl staff quite indifferent and that one particluar guy unpleasant at best.

tracksense are quite good by but a bit more expenisve

used to like Hot trax before their track day arm went under

Could have been, can't remember his name. Was on the UKMOC day at Malloy last year. Loads of 1st time track dayers, and the novice briefing was delivered as thought he really didn't want to be there... Plus was slating Ducati's ("I had one, it blew up" etc etc), despite knowing most of the day was taken by monster riders!

At lunch, a friend asked for tuition later that afternoon. He huffed, and puffed, and then asked another instructor to take him out!

Even so, all the other no limits guys are excellent, and I won't let him ruin my perception that they are a top class track day provider!

That's him. We where there and one lady next to us nearly went home because of his poor novice briefing and lax attitude.
