Track day rentals

[shoes]

That 10 quid style insurance that Silverstone use might be applicable here?

Never heard of it - I have a £1000 car I use as a track day car so whilst it's advantageous not to crash it, it's not world ending if I do. Likewise is someone else hits me - I'd be ****** off but not hugely out of pocket.

Especially if it's just body damage - buy a cheap **** 318 and move all the parts over

The cost of a 500 quid car + a garage to store it in would probably cost you less over the year than a couple of rentals - might be worth looking into.

Especially if you can get a car with a desirable interior worth selling.

Go pro-kart racing instead. I've driven road cars on a track, never came away that impressed. Just shows how soft most road cars are.

Would need to up your budget a fair bit OP. Bookatrack will rent you one of their Caterhams... for +£700 on the normal trackday cost.

Will look into it, cheers.

That Silverstone single seater experience has cursed me!

I agree regarding karting - road cars are generally not suited to the track

But definitely not pro karts! - try Club100

If you want to get into track days, buy a track car.

If you just want to try it out, find a mate who does track days and go as an additional driver.
