Yeah, does put you off track days, doesn't it !!
Ahhh - brings back the memories ~ I used to be a fire marshal at Knockhill, although I seem to recall most folk drove on the tarmac rather than the gravel !!

I`ve been to SIDC and Top Marques track days at KH and enjoyed them very much. I would never take my Scooby on at the Hot Hatch days, they are just not safe with ***** like that on the track.

They are very strick with the track etiquette. Never saw anything major. IMO you feel safer going out on track with people who have spent the same kind of money on their cars, there seems to be a certain respect. Depending on numbers it could be an open track or timed sessions so never over crowded.

There is a track day at KH on 7th Oct. SIDC Members £80 non-members £87 It runs from 9am - 1pm. If your not a member book on the SIDC website or be up there an hour before the start. Its free to spectate though. Would possibly wait to see the weather forecast before booking! Unfortunately I`ll be in Orlando! 
WTF was under the bonnet of the old GPO morris minor van?

"Team Gimp" ?
More like "Team ****ing 11 year old ****** in a £50 ****box"
Ive never taken my car to a track day, its something i keep meaning to do but after watching that video i think ive been scarred for life. Do cars need to have track insurance to be able to go caining it round the circuit? If not theres no way id take my car onto the track vs some ***** in sheds who cudnt give 2 ****s if he stacks into you!

This is the reason you go on an organized reputable company track day. www.motorsportvision.co.uk
I have done Oulton Park and never saw anything like that.
This is the problem with some companies. You pay £50 for the day you get £50 cars going around and it turns into a Demolition Derby.
You want like mentioned above a SIDC day or a proper track company.
That way you enjoy the day and get to drive it home (99% of time)

Makes a change that they are on a track, thought they normally drive cars like that on streets after they have just robbed them. I have done trackdays on motorbikes but no one wants to fall off so its quite sensible. Not some ***** in a £50 car pranging your pride and joy.
