Motor racing great Stirling Moss and late great movie star Paul Newman raced successfully past their 70th years and we have no age limit on our track day drivers. The only requirement is enthusiasm and to be in good health.

No problem, your experience level is not important and we are very keen to welcome new track day drivers to our fold. There is no need to be nervous or worried that you feel you may be too slow, as all our events are run very professionally and tracks are not overcrowded. We ensure all drivers make room for each other and as there is always lots of track time, being held up for a lap is not important. This means even our fastest drivers are always patient and courteous.

It is not compulsory, but please be aware that many car policies do not pay out when you are on track, please check with your Insurance Broker. Also please take note that it is your responsibility to pay for any vehicle damage to your own vehicle, whether an accident was your fault or not. You can take out special track day insurance cover from Motorsport insurance company Moris. For more information click here.

Clothes appropriate for the time of year, bearing in mind many airfields and race tracks can be quite windy and cold! We strongly recommend you wear racing boots, soft soled trainers or deck shoes when driving on track. Racing suits are recommended but not compulsory, but we do insist that you wear clothing that covers your arms and legs whilst driving. We supply good quality and inexpensive driving gloves and boots. Click this link to take a look: racewear

You should ensure that it is in a very good road worthy condition, that all levels are correct (though not overfilled as this can lead to spillages), tyres are pumped up to correct pressures (some people recommend pumping tyres between 2-6 psi above normal road car levels). Make sure your brakes are in tip top condition as track driving can be hard on brakes. Also ensure that there is nothing in the drivers cabin that can come loose or roll around (cassette tapes, phones, cans of drink etc).

Our events are for like minded enthusiast drivers in 'road type' cars. Please note that we do not allow any out and out, dedicated race or competition cars to participate, our events are track days and not test days for race cars. There are of course cross over cars (Road Saloons, some Rally Cars and of course many Kit type such as Caterhams and Westfields) which attend our events and whilst they may not be used on the road they could be; these cars are very welcome as long as they are well prepared and safe. What we don't allow are GT race cars, single seaters, sports racing cars (such as Radicals unless road legal) etc. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your car please ask in advance.

Yes but only one at a time, they must have signed on with our staff and passengers must be aged 16 or over. Note if under 18 the registration form must be countersigned by a parent or guardian.

Absolutely not. We do not allow racing, dicing, tailgating or timing of cars on any of our track days. Our days are for like minded driving enthusiasts and we work very hard to make our days as safe as possible and competitive driving detracts form this goal. Racing is inherently very dangerous, rest assured we do not allow these sort of antics!

We insist that all drivers and passengers wear crash helmets, with the chin straps done up securely at all times whilst on track. If you don't own one then we offer good quality helmets at a daily hire rate of just £10.

Safety is our priority on all of our events, but incidents can occur just as they do on the public roads. Every time you step into a car you are at risk. Firstly listen carefully to the driver's briefing, build up gradually throughout the day remembering that there is lots of time on track. Airfields have less to hit than race tracks, but if you do manage to make contact with something, marshals and paramedics will be attendance very quickly. Don't forget that there are no cars coming the other way, no stone walls, no stopped lorries, no pedestrians, no side turnings, so it's safer than driving quickly on the public roads. However, please remember that unlike on the public roads, damage to you, your car and equipment is your responsibility whether your fault or not and you are unable to claim any costs from other drivers, the event organisers or staff. If you are unhappy with this then you should not participate in track days.

Yes. We take pride in employing only the very best Instructors available and they are extremely friendly, helpful people with huge experience in driving events and motor racing. All newcomers are entitled to an Introductory lesson and then further instruction can be booked in advance of events. We strongly urge drivers of all experience to use this facility - you will be amazed at how much you can learn and how rapidly your driving will improve in all areas (smoothness, pace, awareness, safety, mechanical sympathy).

It depends mostly on driving style. You will if you drive too erratically. The best and fastest drivers are the smoothest and our Instructors are available to teach you the correct technique.

Spectators are welcome at no extra charge.

Yes an excellent catering van is on site at all of our airfield events. Race tracks have their own cafe or restaurant on site.

We email final instructions that include directions to the venue in the week leading up to your event.

Each venue has different noise regulations that your car must adhere to. Most standard road cars will easily be under the limit at all venues, however some side exit exhaust systems and modified cars can be over. We are very happy to test your car at one of our events and offer advice if you are unsure. Please call our office on 0844 873 6075.

Our airfields offer huge freedom and space. They are the best environment in which to hone your driving skills and learn about your car's capabilities with less risk. Circuits offer the heritage of motor racing, the unique atmosphere of a race track and the added adrenalin rush of following in the tyre tracks of motorsport legends. Many of our customers enjoy driving both airfields and circuits - the choice is yours!
