Myself and Phazed are booked on to this MSV trackday on Thursday the 5th of November.

I have booked a Gayridge which have space for three.

As it is the end of the season, the aholes who race but who's egos can't handle going to a test day are unlikely to be there.

Come on guys, join us for some fun.

ETA: Link might be helpful.

That’s a very personal point of view. Racers test days before race meetings are now extremely expensive as are race entry fees. Often at least £800 plus.
Racers are the ones paying to keep most of the tracks you visit open.
I’ll wager racers don’t really want to come across part timers steadily driving around anymore than you want them on track but the reality is the circuits need both or they die.

It’s pretty simple really, keep an eye on your mirrors and move over in plenty of time or simply blend out the way for faster cars which might or might not include full race cars.
My experience of watching a number of trackdays at Brands this year has been that many a fast road car user such as high powered very expensive German cars ( as an example ) but there are many others are no better and drive on the limit and show very little respect to others but overall the standards are actually very good as the owner of most of these well kept circuits won’t take kindly to aggressive or over driving and will simply stop you driving the track if you even touch his grass.
His track management team are on you in seconds so I feel your opinion is very biased and not fair at all.
Have a great day though. thumbup
