Hey everyone,
I've been on a driving experience day but would like to try a track day where I can drive more laps than the driving experience day. Is there anywhere that provide cars (like a 205 or something?) or can you only use your own in most places?
Cheers, Tom

Hi Tom,

You can use your own car (it doesn't have to be quick to be fun and for you to learn thinga) or you can hire a car to use, but it can be very expensive. I would recommend using your own, and bear in mind that it won't have insurance cover for work on track unless you contact a company like Richard Egger in Nottingham and set up cover - it's not expensive for a day

Depending on where you are in the UK people might be able to let you know about companies that hire track cars. Lambogenie in the North west charge £1000 a day to hire their race prepped elise. I believe that comes with tuition in the price too.
