A brief introduction to track days.

Car should not be smoking or leaking fluids as this will be a black flag offense or even lead to refusal of entrance onto the track. Exclusion of this kind is nonrefundable. All fluids should be checked before going onto the track. Oil levels need to be at the top as oil surge in the corners is a real possibility on most cars without baffled sump and this can lead to oil starvation.

Engines will be running at full throttle for long periods of time so it is essential that the cooling system is in excellent working order.

Brake pads should have plenty of life left in them as 5 mins track time can be the same as 100's of miles of road driving.

Tyres will also take massive punishment during track time, while the tyres should be in good condition used tyres can be used as this may be preferable to destroying new tyres. Ideally track focused tyres should be used not only will they last longer but also provide more grip. All windows and mirrors should be clean.

Driver Prep - If possible try and familiarise with yourself prior to the track day, there are many UK track guides available for UK Circuits. Circuit Driver is an excellent starting point. Games console games can also be a great way of learning the track TOCA touring car has a large selection of UK Tracks on it which are very realistic. This preparation can help maximise pushing the car to the limit rather than having to drive slowly to get to know the track. it is also safer to be up to speed with the other drivers.

Tracks - Track days are now a popular fixture at many of the premier race circuits in the UK.  Circuits will act as a venue for track day organisers and/or organise track days themselves directly. Track days also take place on disused airfields and these tend to be cheaper than track days on circuits. Track days held on airfields are probably not as rewarding as circuit track days as the sense of speed is reduced but they can be an excellent introduction to track days as visibility is excellent and hard objects are usually a long way from the track itself.

Organisers - The ATDO listed above is our point of reference for any track day organiser in the UK. All track organisers listed are vetted and approved by the ATDO which is an independent governing body. Track day organisers which are part of the ATDO will have all the necessary safety measures in place such as marshals, insurance and medical staff and facilities.

Cars Used - Any road car can be used for track days as long they are in a road worthy condition although track day time will increase the wear and tear on a car dramatically. There are many disposable track day cars available in the UK ie cars which can be bought for less than 2000 pounds and provide a lot of enjoyment for little outlay. Obvious track day cars would include the MK2 Astra GTE this car has the XE engine and puts out 150hp in a relatively light car. Replacement parts are also plentiful. The Fiat Tipo 2.0 16V is in the same mould as is the Nissan Primera P10 eGT 150hp and the list goes on.

All in all track days provide excellent entertainment and allow road cars to be taken to their limit without the threat of speed cameras in a controlled environment.
