I've been using Focused Events for a few years now and have been very happy with them.

I've checked the site few times over the last couple of weeks only to find they only have bike trackdays listed.

Anyone know the reasons behind this?

I think they were always bikes before and then added cars to there events.

Maybe now for them it might be more cost effective to stick to bikes?

Can you put more bikes on a track day and then be sure to cover your track rental?

Could be talking BS smile

I am sure a pro will come in to share the light. smile

I've been getting regular emails from them but have only just noticed they don't have any car days listed. Did Donington with them a month or so ago in the Boxster and had no problems at all.

You can put more bikes out on track at the same time, plus the days are usually groups which means more again. Trouble is the price per person is a lot lower as a result. So you have to sell a lot more spaces to break even and make a buck.

So in theory easier with cars, but then its a smaller active trackday market than bikes.

I don't think its easy either way!
