'Our Novice Only Trackdays are designed exclusively for anyone with little or no trackday experience. You do not need a high performance car to enjoy the thrill and excitement of driving on a racetrack but they are more than welcome!'

Quoted from the very first paragraph........go on, you know you want to!!!

oh am really thinking about it, but 2 things are stopping me:

1) after being a passenger round brands in a scoob not sure if i will enjoy the astra as much

2)even being a 2.0l turbo it's still our family car and cant really afford for anything to go bang!!! lol

There's no medals on a track day, just take it at whatever speed you feel comfortable with.
