Just a heads up.

I have taken advantage of this offer, which is running at the moment. For the frequent track day users it's a great deal. Their first event of the year is at Bedford Autodrome on Saturday 8th February. The info is on the front page of the website.

I presume one can pay by CC and therefore have some form of financial protection...

That is the only available option on the website. I have booked 6 events with them so far with no issues whatsoever.

Just curious as to why you would need additional CC protection?

They are not exactly a "fly by night" company!

One went bump last year mid-season and a few were left out of pocket for buying several TDs in advance iirc.

Easytrack went bump last year leaving a few from here out of pocket due to muli-buy deals. The thread is here...

Track and tour are linked to the story.

edit to clarify...
They are only linked to the STORY/THREAD

I too have been on a couple of their days last year.

Well organised and good quality tracktime. A distinct lack of numpties on track too, I know a TDO can't control who comes on their days but the days were ran smoothly and I was particularly impressed by their instructors. Safety briefing was a hoot too!

Had a good chat with the owners Deano and Paris(?), they both seem like nice chaps with a couple of nice M3s between them too.

I too have seen this offer but am waiting for pay day and then I'm in!

Saveloy are you the chap in the 1M? What days are you booked on as I'd love a closer look and perhaps a passenger ride?

Track & Tour Events is in no way linked to Easytrack. It is the sister company of The Nurburgring Experience, which has been running quality tours for a decade or so. It is run by Dino & Baris.

Yep, I am the fella with the orange BMW 1M. I'm thinking of getting to Bedford on 8th March & 5th April. I'm more than happy to give you a passenger ride. What car were you in, then?

Thats good to know - also that they're called Dino & Baris not Deano & Paris hehe
They seem to have a good calendar of races so I'm likely to be on one or two.

Was with a friend in his 306 GTI6 and I was in a white e92 M3 at Bedford last Autumn

Will likely book the 8th March at Bedford, 2nd April at Oulton Park and the Brands GP Circuit on 8th Sept as I've not done Oulton before or Brands GP which has always been on my bucket list. Am actually really excited about the latter and this offer is a great way to take advantage of it!

Hope to see you and the little 1M at Bedford in March then!

I don't think so.

I've just had a refund for a day booked with them in the summer. Gave them a call to see what's what and had a good chat with Dino.

Was told they don't want to run any more UK days, they are going to stick with the European driving tours etc instead. I get the feeling it's probably hard to make money running track days.

After meeting a couple of the guys who were at their Bedford day recently who are booked on one of their tours I booked on their 4 Nations Tour in May which includes a visit to the 'ring and a track day to Spa. So my point is their tours are still going ahead so they are still in business.

It's a shame they aren't doing any more UK stuff as their days were some of the best organised I'd been on. Certainly much better than MSVT (which are direct with circuit)

It was good to meet you. Yes, I'm booked up for their 4 Nations Tour, along with a mate who will be coming along in his car.

The UK T&T Events dates have been pulled from Trackdays.co.uk and some are on MSVT.
I wonder if they struggled due to the ET 'shadow'?
