If anything there is more to discuss after a track day as you can generally always get the full story on whatever went on rather than just seeing another bent GT3 leave on the Bongard truck with too few wheels still attached. Personally I am completely sold of track days as the way to do the 'ring and have not yet failed to turn up for a DN day. I do still like TF, but for that I find that it is cheaper, less stressful and more fun to do it in a cheap Rent4Ring car than to drive mine even before addressing the insurance issues.
EFA..... fecking pork drivers

Corrected back for accuracy. It is much more often the fecking Ford drivers on TF (or Honda HRVs, Astra Nurburg editions, Clios, anything rented and sadly very commonly - motorcycles). The porkers tend to get broken more often on track days (though they tend to be as common as muck, so you'd almost expect that), though of course the most spectacularly inept track day crash is held by a GTR and isn't terribly likely to be beaten...
