Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend compaines that organise trackdays please?

I have done a couple of events through Easytrack and although these are very well organised and everyone is friendly/helpful (save for the tosser in his Lotus Seven wannabe driving like a twat!) they restrict the number of drivers allowed.

To spread the cost I am looking for organisers who allow upto four drivers per vehicle.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon.

there's a company called Javelin who regularly do trackdays up here at Elvington in York, but they seem to do them at a variety of venues including tracks like Snetterton etc as well as many airfield sites, which are much better for avoiding damage, at Elvington, you're likely to run out of fuel before hitting anything!

I'm sure they will have a website somewhere if you search.

Events seem well organised with restrictions placed on how many cars out at once.I think as standard they allow 2 drivers, but worth asking.

Thanks guys,

Have either of you been to Mallory Park? and if so, is it suitable for relative novice track drivers?

Cheers,
Simon.

Based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Have been to Elvington a couple of times and also to Oulton Park.

Mallory is prob within and 1 - 1 1/2 hrs drive.

Hoping to go to Rockingham and Bedford Autodrome this year as a mate lives close by.
