Track-club has announced a range of taster events offering track day and driving enthusiasts an opportunity to drive some of the club's fleet and to meet the team and discuss memberships.
The company targets these events at those considering track-club membership as the fee is fully refundable against a membership plan, but the days are also open to those who fancy a day out with plenty of driving around some of the UK’s best circuits.
Participants will generally spend about two hours over the course of the day driving two or three cars from the company's fleet as well as experiencing fast laps from the instructors on hand.
Circuits include Silverstone, Rockingham, Donington and Bedford Autodrome with a number of dates available.

Each day will typically start with a sign on and track briefing at 0800 and driving will close between 1600 and 1700. Cars in use will vary according to the event but will generally include:
- Lotus Exige S2
- Lotus Elise S2
- RenaultSport Spider Cup
- Ariel Atom (probably wait for the April event!)
- RenaultSport Clio 182 Cup
- Caterham Roadsport B
- RenaultSport Spider Cup
The club's Caterham CSR 260 and Palmer JP1-RS are also likely to be on hand at some of these events for fast laps and optional driving sessions.
Track-club stressed that these are not your typical airfield Red Letter type days: the cars are not restricted, you will not have an instructor on board for all of your sessions and you will be in the car for over 90 minutes throughout the day.
Also on hand will be a driving simulator to keep you in the right frame of mind when you’re out of the car -- as long, said the company, that you realise that what can be done on a PlayStation can’t always be applied to real life...
track-club will provide all helmets, intercoms and tuition and will be on hand to discuss membership, exclusive and shared car hire and any track day and driving questions that you may have.
