Top Tips For Track Days

Driving your car down to a professional race track and pretending your in the grand prix for a bit is an activity that is getting more and more popular. According to recent stats released by the biggest experience day business in the country, 20% of us have now been on a track day or bought one for someone else. They are additionally seeing more people booking for corporate hospitality days. Because they are a relatively new trend however, there is still a lack of understanding about how they work. Here are 5 of the top things you need to know.

Insurance. Most tracks have their own insurance that automatically covers you whilst you are using their facility. This is one less thing to worry about, but you should always double check before you go as some race tracks don’t cover guests.

Driver. Depending on what type of track day you go on, you may be driving yourself or you may have someone else doing the pleasure. If someone else drives you around first it is very good idea to pay attention to what they do and say as their knowledge will be invaluable when your turn comes.

Licence. You are very rarely required by law to have a full driving licence for track days as they take place on private land. That said, you’ll probably find that the majority of tracks won’t let you on without a license as they don’t want to take risks themselves.

Tires. Unless you are on a team building day and are not paying for any wear and tear, you might want to take care of your tyres. They can cost you a small fortune if you buy new, and whilst they might last years driving normally, just half an hour fast driving on a track can wear them right out.

Caution. Although race tracks are statistically safer places to be than public roads, this does not mean you can drive like Evil Knievel. Track days are a great deal more dangerous than Henley Regatta for example, so make sure you’ve woken up before you get in the car.
