You can often get days for around Ԛ£99 - though often they will be more expensive in the summer and at weekends. Most days organised by the bigger companies offer tutition, and its well worth doing if its your first track day - before you get bad habits :D

Of course dont forget the fuel you will burn at the track, plus wear and tear on tyres and brakes etc.

You can get 6 to 8 laps at castle combe for Ԛ£30 = about 20 minutes on the track. not a whole day but good if you just want a little taster 8)

thanks dobbie !!! sorry - was having a "blonde moment" last night !!! LOL.

ALTERNATIVELY - GO TO THIS LINK http://www.bigthunder.co.uk/trackdays.htm

You can get eh same track day for Ԛ£26 less !!!! go direct to track as it is usually cheaper. Bruntingthorpe is not a real track - its and airfiled with cones. IMHO not as good as a track and not really any cheaper. surface can be a bit sh**ty as well. as already stated here you can winter track days for as little as Ԛ£79 for a full open pit lane day at a decent track (see www.easytrack.co.uk or www.javelintrackdays.co.uk or www.bookatrack.co.uk or www,donington-park.co.uk )

cheers
