After all these years owning various P&Js, took our joint owned Cooper S onto Bedford GT circuit - challenging and rewarding day out. So much to learn about driving. Great instruction from the Brazilian at the MSV day, happy that there was plenty of run off at Bedford. Discovered that the next upgrade will be the brakes : we totally destroyed them by the end of the day. Tyres worked well - toyo fast road.

So time for confessions pistonheaders - have you been driving for ages and held out from going on a tack day, until very recently. Interested to hear people's stories on the first time out on a track day.

Did my first track day (evening) in 2009 at Brands Indy with PCGB. Got instruction - hated it - went home early thinking I'd never do another. Passed my ARDS in November last year, got my National B for 2012 and my first race is at the end of March.

Moral: going on track days is bad for your wallet.
