We will have some of the best instructors in the country there and that is free, and a lot of Fiat 500's running round too.

We will also have some parade laps at lunch time for those that are there and not on track.


This will be my first trackday, I have a standard powered 1.6 and I don't consider myself to be a particularly good driver... but I've been waiting all summer for "the right trackday" to come along, and I refuse to let the whole year disappear without giving it a go!

Botttom line is, you need to jump in sometime, and at an open pitlane trackday you will get so much more time in the car. I'm sure my learning curve will be steep, which is exactly what I need! I'll report back afterwards unless I'm awful / crash, in which case I'm sure Nick will fill you all in!!

Good luck! :shock:

^^^^^

If you want it to feel even more purposeful, add an MoT sticker. They're worth 7 tenths per lap. Each.

Srsly!
