Track Days & Tuition

[HDPete]

Hi,

I’d love to get my Vansquish S Ultimate out on a track.

I’ve done a few taster sessions arranged by dealers etc, and I *think* I know the basics, but would probably benefit from a days tuition and then a supervised day on the track.

Where is a good place to start? I’m in the South, so Thruxton / Dunsfold are ideal.

You could contact Motorsport Events (MSE), I know Ed runs the Aston days and train the Aston staff so is familiar with e cars etc, they run a series of very well priced track and airfield days.

He's also superfast round Castle Combe in a formula ford so that maybe another venue for you to think on?!

bookatrack are also very good. You'll be in with the public but their days were always well managed. i.e. anyone being a nobbler gets their marching orders. A full days tuition is probably too much, it's quite nice on these days to find your feet, have a lesson, take said lesson back out on track, have lunch, maybe have the instructor again and keep their words ringing in your ears. Mostly it's about having fun.

Hi, I did the Opentrack day at Silverstone last weekend. It was well organised and not too many cars. They offer a free 30mins tuition at the beginning of the session if you want it. Search for Opentrack.

MSV track days always have instructors available. Whenever I do a track day I always have a couple of 15 minute sessions, one early on and the other just after lunch. Always good to get a few tips.

I have done a day with CAT driver training at Millbrook and would highly recommend them. You'll sit down for a coffee first thing and have a good chat about what you know, what you want to learn etc and they tailor a whole one on one day (or half day) doing exactly what you want. Really valuable experience and worth a bit of a drive to get there for me.

Go somewhere respectable like Goldtrack or RMA.

Book your own instructor for a day , someone like mike wilds or Callum lokie. Both very experienced with newcomers and reasonably priced .

Yes, indeed, I thought it was a great day and was glad all the Astons made it home in one piece
