Question Track / rally days in a Scoob?

Got some money for my b/day just before Xmas & will be doing something like the above, prefer to use "their" car rather than mine though. Interested to hear what you've been on & whether it was a good day out or not.

Cheers, TX.

You mention trackday so what about some driving lessons?

Car Limits

I know loads of people who swear by Walshy's driver training days.

yes he does mate if i remember right its a blobeye but still my point is why learn in another car when it is yours you drive everyday and each car can have its own handling characteristics so in my opinion you should learn how your car drives

Concerned about "damage" to mine on a track + I'd rather learn what to do in a slower car

Anyone else help out?

It all depends what part the world your from and how far will you travel

There are a few around my way worcester glouster Prestiene and Kington. Phil Price is awesome

There is a good one around Liecester

Here are some links but remember you only pay for what you get Bill gwynene is good but top end budget. There are a few small independants around Herefordshire, shropshire and welsh border. I'll try and digout some names Not certain if all these links still work

if you are worried about spinning out and hitting the side walls etc then get yourself to bedford autodrome i have been ther e3 times and it is as far as i know one of the safest tracks in the country as it is a converted air field so nothing to hit, there are gravel traps all over the place and plenty of run off

Club MSV - Car Trackdays with MotorSport Vision - Bedford Autodrome

check it out and get it booked, you will learn more about your car in one day then you will in someone elses all my opinion of course

MLR do driver training days all the time but you have to be quick to get booked on them.
