Lightbulb Novice Only Track Night at Knockhill

Knockhill have got a track night for novice drivers only on Tuesday 11th May 6pm-8pm, cost is £50 and it's the perfect opportunity for those that have done the track day school but have not done a proper track day yet, or for those who have never driven on track at all.

Contact Knockhill asap on the usual number, or via http://www.knockhill.com to get booked up, as places are going quickly.

Ideal for spouses/partners/friends etc who have always wanted to do a track event, but have been a bit worried about joining in on a day full of experienced people.

Hi John,

Quite interested in this but have not done the trackday school course before and it says this is for graduates of this. I have been on the track before with an instructor from Toyota in a Celica T-Sport and in various cars PAX lapping.

Is it still viable or should I do the school first!??

One other question - what is the insurance situation with KH and taking your car on - do they offer track insurance?!

Brian.

Brian,

this night is for people who have done the track day school, or who have never driven on track before, so I would say you are perfectly qualified to take part in this event

I'd phone up quickly though to book.

Regards

John

Track day school is on Sunday 13th June from 9Am to 12:30 lunchtime and I will no doubt be doing it if I survive Tuesday night!?!?!

The cost is £55 which is pretty good but the cars are not insured on the track?!?



Should be good though.

I don't see the point of trackday insurance. If being insured makes a person more likely to drive beyond their limits, then I think it's a bad thing. If not having insurance on track makes a person drive that wee bit safer, then I think that's a good thing.

One other bit of advice to that given above: keep an eye out for the other cars around you, and make sure you know where you're going to go if they decide to have an off near you. Shouldn't be too much of a problem on a novice night, but on a full track day, there's a real mix of abilities (and incapabilities ) and the occasional nutter. Easy to keep safe if you're alert and aware of what's around you.
