Hi

I am thinking about hiring a track in Spain for a week in January, but this is fairly expensive and wasteful to have exclusive use of a whole track for one car.

Anyone else want to do a track day / test day (up to a week)? Around £200 per car, open pit lane and virtually empty track.
Will be one of their national series tracks.

I am using it for testing and setup / practice for my newly built race car.

with a few more details I could be up for that idea in principal at least.

Hi

Dates and track is yet to be decided - I am very open and wanted to leave it to others.

I was thinking about tracks around Barcelona (Cartagena or such).

Hi

It is difficult to give info at this time.
For me to book a track is around 15000 euros, so I would very much like some solid commitments before I pay.

Until I do book, the track and dates will be provisional.

I will wait to see if there is any more potential interest, and if so I will nail down a track and dates and go from there.

Does anyone have any preferences?

This is not a business venture for me, rather a way to soften the blow of the cost, and hopefully have some fun with other drivers out on track etc.

Hi Gareth. I presume 15,000 Euros is for the week? So its cheap enough!
I was thinking that if folks are pulling cars down to Spain in January they may have a bit of bad weather to deal with through France!

Its not a worry for me but could be for others.

If i was to commit for 4 days what is an estimated cost for my track fee's?

Hi

I usually take the motorway route via Girona which skips the mountains, and you get to go over this bridge which is breathtaking:


I have traveled this route during winter many time and never had a problem.....but you never know.....


Price is £200 per day, so obviously £800 for 4 days.

I will come back later with dates and a provisional track.

Hi

Okay, so best dates are 5th to 11th of Jan.

Best Track is probably Calafat at the moment...

Thoughts?
