£40.00 for an extra driver! not for me thanks. IMHO there is no justification for charging large amounts for an extra driver Cool - I'll have a think & if they still have spaces tomorrow I'll book it.
£40.00 for an extra driver is disgraceful! Why do you have to pay THEM for the privilege of having a friend or partner drive your own car - absolutely crazy.
Thankfully I'd be attending on my own.

Well said Hannah IMHO it's a rip offSo no reason at all not to make a charge for a second driver. Besides it's a capitalist economy, they make an offer, you decide whether you take it or take someone else's offer if you prefer it. It's a benefit to you, so it's not unreasonable for the TDO to attempt to get a benefit back.
Maybe they want to discourage second drivers as those are the ones that statistically have most offs. That's certainly better at Brands that can be go/stop all day.

That's the beauty of trackdays like Marham - open pit lane for most of the day for £60. However, it's definitely not Brands Hatch!
Great price for Brands Hatch though.
i did an airfield trackday once at woodbridge - the track debris completely peppered the front end of my car, even going thru the fibreglass in several places. never again!Great price for Brands Hatch though.

but what you have said above makes no sense to me at all ! As far as I know the TDO pays an agreed figure to hire the venue. So it goes without saying that the more cars they can get on track (once they have covered there overhead) the more profit they will make which is ok by me. I think you will find it is the track owners who set a maximum number of cars per day and per session. Especialy at tracks like Goodwood. Yes a car with two or more drivers is likely to be out on every session but with twenty minutes on and forty minutes off per hour 99% of all the other cars will out as well. I share my Radical with a friend and if we do a three session event and one session each it means that we pay extra to get one run each every two hours !! As for me taking or leaving what is on offer yes we all have that choice and I try to avoid sessioned track days especialy with TDO who charge £40-50 quid for an extra driver. Interesting comment about second drivers having more off's 
Where did you get that info from??
