Classic car specific track days.

[Lax Power]

Does anyone know of any classic car only track days?

I'd love the chance to get my classic on track but I fear that the perfomance and handling would have me spending most of the day looking in the mirror.

I know that Octane magazine run track days which seem to lean towards classics but they only do a couple each year and they are at Goodwood which is great if you have lots of power but a bit hardwork for smaller cars.

A gap in the market perhaps?

We've thought about this in the past but always struggled with numbers. Happy to provisionally arrange an event at Castle Combe on 20 October subject to getting the numbers as a tester.

Couple of track days I attend (mostly at Lydden Hill), people brought their classic cars. Yes, they did get overtaken quite regularly but so did I in a non-classic. Didn't think it was a problem and it was refreshing to see that there weren't only modern cars.

I was at Brands for a normal track day a few weeks back and after us there was a 'retro cars' track evening.. maybe check that out..

Chris at www.circuit-days.co.uk was mentioning this to me at the le mans track days in the summer, think it's down to the numbers game but I've done spa & nurburgring trips with classsics in tow & tbh if they're driven well they don't get on the way at all. In fact I reckon people give them enough room out of respect & they always draw a croud in the pit lane.
At le mans there was a gorgeous grp5 BMW csl & even though it's a short circuit there was no problems with speed differences.
Speak to whoever is organising the event-chances are they'll be a true petrolhead & will try & make allowences for any type of car or driver
