Track day database?

[crofty1984]

My apologies if this is a repost, I've searched but couldn't find anything.

My question is this:
I've started going on track days this year, and I was wondering if there was a central database of what was on. For example, you might book a day at snett with MSV, but then it turns out that there's one by bookatrack later that week that's better, I don't know all the organisers so I don't know what I'm missing.

Is there (Or could we have a wiki on this forum) a list of what trackdays are happening that we/organisers can add to. I know there's the who's on what wiki, but that's not quite what I mean.

Something like:

MARCH

16th, Cadwell, Open pit lane, Goldtrack, £120, Cars

20th, Oulton, sessions, MSV, £130, Motorbikes
20th, Snetterton, Sessions, MSV, £135, Cars

21st, Brands, open pit lane, bookatrack, £140, Cars


etc,etc

I think it'd be nice to have an at-a-glance directory of when we can go on what track. It'd be a useful resource for us track-day goers, and a bit of free advertising for the organisers. Surely that's win-win?

What are people's thought on this?

Dan.

(I'll pop this in website feedback too)

I already offer a spreadsheet to my clients with all the dates around Europe and a range of other information, see pic below.

(UKtrackdays) - I meant trackdays.co.uk is good but not complete (missess BAT, LOT, etc). Openpitlane.co.uk looks interesting.

I liked openpitlane but while there are lots of dates listed its difficult to find a day that's good to go to; e.g. noise limit at least 102dB + still spaces available + open pit lane

which is why I wrote my track day calendar site at http://www.circuitjunkie.net/calendar  - it doesn't have every organiser on it yet but am getting there (Focused Events should be on within the next day or so)

Nice. But it would be much more helpful if the real organiser was shown instead of trackdays.co.uk.

I completely agree! As I add more feeds this 'de-duping' [to remove/reduce reseller days and show the event by original organiser instead] will come in - just gotta build a reliable way of doing it.

Trackdays.co.uk have a day listed on 19th April at Croft.

So does Circuit days.

Who is running this one?

am I being dense?

It's Circuit Days. From what I can see trackdays.co.uk are just a web front end. I presume they get a commission per deal etc.

I think you're right. ISTR getting an email from them offereing to sell our days.
