Who are people using to book days through these days? Is there a list anywhere or a combined calender?

I have done a few days in the past through Bookatrack, the last one was nearly 10 years ago, which is far too long!

Pretty much 100% are listed on trackdays.co.uk on a combined calendar. A few specialists don't but most are there.

But trackdays.co.uk are a broker so you are paying a middle man and have no idea who you will end up with. If you use them to pick good dates I'd suggest a quick bit of googling will show who the actual organiser is and booking direct is a good option.

In terms of current TDOs, BaT are still going strong as is Circuit Days, both well recommended. You'll also find a lot of events from MSV (at their own tracks) and Javelin.

But then isn't that a normal part of the shopping around bit that everyone does before buying?

The OP was asking for a calendar showing all dates.

On top of that, they don't always charge a premium for bookings, I have used them many times & paid no more than through the TDO direct.

Motorsportdays.com have all the TDO's on there I think. The events link to the organisers page for booking with no commission payable. Not all TDO's are on trackdays.co such as Msv, rma or goldtrack I don't think?

I understand that view Andy but if they don't charge a premium then they are charging the TDO for it instead, for sure they are not doing it for free but it's something that you could just buy directly. When TDO's are paying these costs to third parties who actually do nothing but paperwork, who do you think ends up picking up the bill?

I use the Track Day Directory app, I'm not sure if everyone is on there but it seems pretty comprehensive, get it here;
