I'm happy doing the trackdays, but I think the misses is a little annoyed I spend money and most importantly my spare weekends and holidays doing trackdays and training.

I've asked if she wanted to get involved and do some herself and whilst she seems to want to, she also seems a bit relucant to (I'm not 100% sure why yet).
She loves carting and I think she'd also enjoy getting out on the track, but I'd like to ease her into it all, and I think if there was a novice day she may be pursuaded, but I think if there was a women's day she'd be up for it. Does anybody know if such things exist?

Also I know the women in motorsport club, but I don't know if there's anything similar for track-days?

On Saturday will be taking part in my first proper trackday at Brands and understand I will be the only lady-type taking part :gulp:

Though I'm really looking forward to it, when I was prepping my car earlier and I suddenly felt absolutely terrified, though not quite sure of what...

Will let you know how it goes - keep ur fingers Xd for me please!


Fingers crossed in readiness.
I always have a pang of the 'oh my gods' on the way to the track, and I'm never really sure why. But agree that after a few minutes there I calm down and just get on with it - I always find the very English appraoch of tea and biscuits helps enormously

Thanks for the links too - will follow them up.
