| Post subject: | Beginners Track Days |
Have found a company that do Beginners Track Days. I know the next one is a little too close for getting time off, but I am going to keep an eye on this and if the next one is local (ish) and on a convenient date i'll be there! The link if anyone is interested: http://www.easytrack.co.uk/beginner/beginner.asp |

Personally I feel that Goodwodd is too fast and with little run off for a novice day. I would prefer an airfield day say at Bruntingthorpe. Mike & I are looking at booking one of these days to play with our RWD cars if anyone fancies it? http://www.motorsport-events.co.uk/academy-days.php |

JP, they do try to run airfield days too but don't have any planned at the moment. The setup of the day looks quite good with instruction and a supervised outing for the first time (can't seem to find the blooming page now but definitely read that earlier!) I'd still like to give it a go - to be honest, if I am not driving beyond my ability I shouldn't need huge run off areas. Also with other 'novices' out there, hopefully they won't be driving beyond my ability either!!! |

You said it felt slow when I took you round in my strangled Elise 
Seriously though, with a fully functioning car G'wood is very quick  . Not a problem if you know your limits and drive within them  .
Reading their blurb the Motorsport Event 'Academy' event at Heyford, Oxfordshire is not a track day as such. It is meant as an introduction to track day driving etiquette, etc. I wouldn't mind tagging along to see what they do but I'd reserve my funds for one of their airfield track days. Most of them seem to be within striking distance. |

Lucey, Might be worth a call to easytrack to find out when there beginners only days are - none are listed on the calendar. I'd be interested, although not strictly a beginner anymore with the new car I'd prefer a 'tamer' environment to get used to it
