Javelin Trackdays
Discussion
Now my caterham is all sorted, I'm looking to book my first car track day. Ive been a regular bike track dater over the last few years but its time for 4 wheels now. Got my eye on a day in January with javelin.
Has anyone used Javelin Trackdays? Are they any good? Whats their organisation like?
Cheers,
O.K

Just to add more unneccessary weight to all of the above.
I have been using them for over 5 years now & always look for their days first when I am looking.
Very well run, don't suffer cocklike driving at all, exactly as it should be, a fun day for ALL.

They do have quite a lot of cars on track at once though. But you get what you pay for.

I was at a day at Croft earlier in the year & there were 5 cars for the day!
I generally do 30 - 45 minute sessions & I don't think I ever overtook more than once per session!
Javelin are top guys and I have had some very good days with them and lots of track time with a relaxed but well managed driving standards arrangement.
Like you, I came from bike days and there are some massive differences in what is considered acceptable. 3 abreast into corners, stuffing it up the inside and lifting people in corners is all going to be a distant memory and unlike bikes where mirrors are absent or turned in, Car days rely heavily on people looking in their mirrors. Listen to the briefing carefully, play nicely and have a good time.
