a group i go with rent out castle combe. Have to book about 6 months in adv. Think he pays about 7-8K and runs it at cost, or sometimes slight loss at £150 a head with about 40 - 50 cars. Give them a call, usually really helpfull,.........and weekdays are usually cheaper ! :-)

we can sort this for you and have all the relevent contacts, insurances and staff to make it effortless. economies of scale often mean we can do it cheaper than you trying to organise it yourself too. give me a ring on 0843 2084635 or email me info at bookatrack dot com

And we recently had a day at Coombe with Jonny with only 5 cars there!

It was like we had hired the track ourselves! (I suspect there should have been more there, lol)

I can't imagine just how complex it is to arrange a day on your own for all the reasons that he cites. Like so much in life I suspect everything is easy until something goes wrong on the day.

You could also try BHP. They run a lot at Castle Combe and seem to be competitively priced. Just had a cracking day there with them on Monday.

I've done it - not a trackday but a day on the wet handling course at Rockingham. Per the above, I did it via Jonny at Bookatrack. Worked out cheaper for me than me approaching Rockingham myself, I had the peace of mind of having BaT take car of all the organisation/admin/safety/co-ordination and I just had to rustle up my guest list and get all my mates there at the appropriate time.

Joe Macari used to host private days at Goodwood (mid-week). I think all in it was 5-6k for the day for up to 30 people.
