First track day - GTR experience required

Ken · 24 Jul 2012 at 21:45

Hi guys,

I live in Preston and I'm hoping you can recommend a track day for my brother and I. Saturday or Sunday and has to be in a GTR. It's our first so we don't know what to expect but I hear it's approx £100-150 for approx 3 laps following some class and passenger tuition? Obviously closer to home and good amount of time out on track with an affordable price would be good.

Thanks,

Ken

150 quid to do 3 laps? I don't care if it's a Veyron, thats an absolute ripoff. There are many, many better things to do car related with 150 quid than drive 3 laps in a GTR.

Experience days are generally pants, the only ones which are worth having cost a fair bit more than your budget, but are worth it.

Just bought my sisters boyfriend an experience day for his 21st.

So many rip off out there. Steer clear of anything airfield based.

The only ones we found that were reasonable were at Silverstone or Thruxton. We went for a Thruxton one which includes some tuition laps, a number of laps in a Caymen, and then a number of laps in a single seater. It was on offer at £110.

£150 for what will be an out lap, 1 full lap, and an in lap in a rev and speed limited GTR with a passenger telling you to slow down is a complete rip off.

I would definitely pay £120 or whatever it was to do another experience day. Loved it

I found the GTR quite boring on the track.

150 for 3 laps?

Yeah...no thanks.
