For track days at the premium race circuits around the UK you will need a full, manual driving licence as you are driving at the best professional tracks that often host pro-am motorsport competitions racing on the most challenging tracks in the country. Check each track day experience for all the info you need on participant requirements, or get in touch with us by chat, email or phone.
If you're into motorsport you'll certainly know these names:
Book a track day at any of these premium race venues and you will be driving in the tyre marks of some of the greatest motorsport drivers that ever lived!
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and thin, flat-soled shoes like trainers to ensure you have a good feel for the pedals. Some operators provide coveralls and all participants will be kitted out with a helmet. One thing's for sure, you'll certainly look the part for these track days sessions!
What sets these track day sessions apart is the fact that you can drive on actual race circuits. These premium tracks are or have been used for FIA motorsport events and offer the smoothest tarmac, the fastest straights and the most challenging corners. Many of the tracks are great places to visit in themselves, let alone having the thrill of driving round some of the famous bends you would have seen on telly!
Yes! Every experience includes one to one instruction, with an expert driver sitting alongside you in the front passenger seat. (In the case of single seater racing, you'll have an intercom headset and do laps behind an instructor driven car too). They will teach you all about the racing line and track etiquette, which should result in you lapping faster!
Yes. Our track session operators welcome many motorsport fans each day. With several cars out on the circuit at once, starts are staggered in and out the pit lane to ensure space for every driver and instructors will direct any overtaking deemed necessary.
No. Our track day sessions are not set up like actual races with a mass start and chequered flag finish. You will, however, be able to learn some nifty motorsport techniques about things like braking points and the race line.
Very often yes! Some of these premium tracks have shorter circuits that are used (often called 'National' circuits), incorporating many parts of the main 'International' world-class circuit, or even have entirely separate tracks within tracks for you to drive. But yes, you could be wanging it around Druid's at Brands Hatch, Knickerbrook at Oulton or the Duffus Dip at Knockhill!
Yes! Spectators are more than welcome at track days - and they add to the atmosphere, cheering you on as your lap the circuit of your choice in the car or cars of your choice! Check with each operator for any limits on numbers - and you'll find many offer passenger rides (payable on the day) for spectators too!
If you're a proper motorsport fan and you grew up watching cars hooning it around the famous circuits of the UK, then yes it is definitely worth the extra. Just imagine driving around those same, famous bends as the legends of motorsport. It'll certainly be a special moment to see iconic venues like Brands and Donington from trackside rather than in the stands!
