British track days in Spain
Oversteer in the sun
Head to Spain for sunny trackdays
‘Trackdays Spain’ is aiming to provide a ‘first class, well organised track day, keeping driver numbers low (45 is the limit) to maximise track time and limit waiting time with safety a priority on the day.’ They’re aiming at those who keep cars in the locality or who might be touring on holiday with their cars.
Apparently, an Enzo and a Ferrari 550 Barchetta are among the cars already signed up, as well as a Triumph TR8 and the usual suspects from marques such as BMW. The company will offer expert advice from a professional FIA GT3 championship race driver and from the Track Days team that has over 20 years combined experience in organising track days.
The business is aiming to operate between circuits such as Ascari that offer days but at very expensive rates and days organised by Spanish providers at the budget end of the market.
The company has its official launch on 27th July at the Spanish circuit Guadix. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it is only 90 minutes from Malaga and is said to offer superb racing facilities at a much lower cost than similar tracks.
For the launch, there’s a special price of 299€ per person, which includes: circuit time, expert advice, lunch, refreshments and prizes.
Days can be arranged on an individual basis or for groups and the firm is also offering bespoke corporate days.

A. the Spanish are mad about high performance cars
B. The Spanish themselves make a lot of noise and tolerate others who do - it's all part of the party!
I mean no offence and good luck to anyone who lives in Spain...

Just need to find the dough now!
I am a Spaniard and no exception to the rule, although i prefer 4 wheels to two.
Nothing quite like a hot sticky track, decent track day tyres and a good car for a day of adrenalin filled fun. Even if you drive a Seat Leon you can still have a great craic on track, and if you don't make it to the track there are some absolutely brilliant deserted mountain roads in the South of Spain that are perfect for enthusiastic drivers.
The diesel Hyundai Getz i was given as a hire car just recently had some interesting handling traits on some of the tight hairpins around the SW of Spain. Gets my vote as the most awful car i have ever driven.
For people who are looking to come down from the UK I am talking with Jasper about some great deals he has with ferry and hotel companies, if you are in Spain but a different region then there is a hotel literally 3 mins from the circuit which is a 3 star and perfectly acceptable and is approx 36 euros a night with some good food as well.
I have had enquiries from quite a few Pistonheaders who want to come over and wondered if we had any cars for hire, this is something I am looking into and am flying over to the UK next week to visit MNR to look at their trackday bike powered kits which look superb and can accomodate upto 6ft 6 drivers.
If anyone has any tips for getting these insured whilst they are rented to our clients I would be really grateful for advice.
I look forward to seeing some of you guys out in Spain in the future and to all those guys who we had so much fun with 2 or 3 years back, get your cars out and get over here soon.
Thanks once again
Mike
What a great circuit ! The day was superb and what a delight to see the Enzo going round the track. Next event is on the 7th September and there may even be an Elise & Westfield available to hire too
