So, car is here would be criminal not to use it as intended.
Never done a car trackday..
What do I need?
Where is a friendly place to start?
Can I get some decent 911 specific tuition?
Will I be laughed at and destroy the car if I can't heel/toe?
Ideally midweek evening session that I can get to from London if that exists. Not interested in airfield type trackday.
Appreciate pointers.
Cheers

Good point about noise, 996 GT2 so I am assuming noise won't be an issue even on the quietest days?
PCGB sounds good but looking at the calendar there is nothing that really suits me anytime soon.
What are MSV like? I see they do have frequent evening sessions at Brands, that would suit me like a glove for location/time.

Cheers, good info.
One reason I thought Brands was a good choice is I know it fairly well having done a fair amount of trackdays/racing on bikes around there, and it's not too fast! Lack of run off is a good point though.
Bedford sounds good, I think that's the way to go maybe on the 28th. Will it be massively crowded if I go on a weekend though?
Is the crowd very different to the more slightly more expensive trackday organizers mentioned? Not that I care much but I seem to remember from my motorbiking days that some trackdays where more chaotic then others (and eventually I packed in trackdaying altogether in favour of racing).
Thanks

Thanks. Bedford it is then, and I'll make sure to get some tuition!
Yes boxsey having been on track with bikes of course helps a little but it's over 10yrs ago and I just wanted some general info, I've definitely learnt a few things here. I want to come prepared
The VT trackday in August is unfortunately not going to work. Depending on how this first outing goes I will get some more, hopefully Porsche specific, days booked in.
Insurance. Will I be able to get trackday insurance, and who are the people to use? Car is still on Swedish plates, will this be an issue?
