Let us know how you get on - we’ve been offered one of these days - worth doing ?

It's a decent free day out, but not really a track day as such. It's been very well set up to allow anyone of any ability to have a go in the cars and to do things they might not have experienced previously - launch control, emergency stop, skid pan etc.

Their handling circuits are marked out like normal roads, so if, say, you bring your partner that's never done any sort of track driving before they can pootle round as if it was a twisty country road whilst if you're confident you can go a bit quicker and take the lines through the corners. The circuits are also fairly tight so you're never getting to huge speeds and certainly not round the corners.

It's super useful if you're not sure how to spec your car yet, I did it in a manual GT4 which made me realise the PDK would be the better option for when I eventually get to spec mine. I'm going back again in a couple of weeks for my Macan experience and bringing my GF as I think she'll really enjoy it and tbf I want to see if it's worth taking mine on a trackday before I commit to doing one in it!

One thing - I went on my own as I wanted the whole time driving to decide how to spec my GT4, there's a fair bit of waiting around beforehand, a 3 course lunch and afternoon tea so I felt like billy no mates for that part as everyone else seemed to have family/partners with them.

Sounds like a good day out - if it sharpens up my driving time hen it’s defo worth going along
