Track Day
A track day is an event where drivers can take their own cars onto a closed race circuit without competing.
What is Track Day?
Sessions are usually timed but not raced, with strict overtaking rules. Noise limits and safety checks are common. Normal car insurance often does not cover track use. Beginners can often book instruction from an experienced driver at track days.
How it works
A closed circuit lets drivers explore the car’s limits away from public roads and traffic.
Why it matters for your car
Brakes, tyres and fluids wear much faster than on the road. Check the organiser’s rules on helmets, tow points and insurance before booking.
