Budget group track days.
Discussion
Hi. Anyone out there who wants to do some track days but is strapped for cash like me? Fancy meeting up in a group and sharing the costs?
Had something like this in mind:
One or two people buy car/s. Cheap models with fairly good 0-60, handling and that give a decent mpg at cruising speed, for those journeys to a race track.
Another person/s buy second sets of wheels, high performance/track day tyres, fuel, provide tools.
Others pay for track use, hotel, ferries, food etc.
I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who despite earning an average wage, have families etc and are finding it hard to save in today's economy.
If you're interested leave some posts. I'm based in Gloucestershire. Thanks.

Did something like it one day when I used to own a racing kart. Me, my brother and his mate went to llandow kart circuit. We shared the cost of fuel and track costs and I talked to them on the way down there, I had the same idea and said that all i ask is that if one of us wrecks the kart we all chip in for the repair costs. It's finding like minded trustworthy people, that is the difficult part. I go fishing sometimes now as it's affordable. There's one mate who I always go with, but then there's other people who I work with who don't turn up when you organise something together or make excuses. Talked to a lad I used to go to college with. We'd both posted on Facebook about our visits to the Nurburgring. He too suggested a Clio. Are Audi A3 diesels any good? They seem to have a good mpg but also good 0-60. Can pick those up for about £1000 with well over 100,000 miles on them. Suppose the engines May last to 200k but the rest of the car maybe worn out?
Had a look at the arrive and drive karting. Things like club 100 etc, when I was karting. May try that at some point. Was thinking about the Nurburgring etc though. I'll go back there one day when I have time to do overtime and save up for it. Bit busy doing body repairs on our Bmw at the moment. There's a lot to it and it can't be learnt overnight. So audits are fwd. Our 1 series is rear wheel drive. More fun in that, especially when the stability control forgets what it's doing and the back flies out before you know about it. Happened to Jeremy Clarkson on top gear at 120mph. Ended up on the grass. Never seen him look so worried. Lol.
