What are Track Days?
For people that love their cars there's a lot of satisfaction in the day-to-day focus on good driving. But sometimes it can be great to let your hair down and push your car to its limits too. Track days are something that allows you to do just this. Many people across the UK choose to take part in organised track days. But what exactly are these events, and why are motorists interested?
Why is this such a cool experience? The sheer thrill of being surprised by what a modern car can do when it's unleashed is one reason to go for it. Cars today are rarely tested to their full potential during day-to-day driving, so it's cool to give it that extra chance to show itself. Also you'll find that the day is filled with like-minded motor enthusiasts. You can pick up tips and see how the pros do things, and also take things at your own pace. It's something that quickly gets addictive.
The good news is that there are loads of places to take part in track events too. Many decommissioned airfields have opened their gates to people that want to fly with their wheels firmly on the ground. The ex-taxiways and runways give you plenty of chance to open up the throttle, and are wide enough that things don't get crowded either. Racetracks also give you the joy of knowing how it feels to set your wheels on a professional circuit. Sometimes this can have an almost hallowed feel to it, especially when you see the names that hold the top track times.
The routine of the day is fairly straightforward with everything well organised and everyone there to enjoy themselves. After you've signed up, paid, and been placed in an ability group you're given a basic safety briefing and then allowed to get behind the wheel. While on the track you have to watch out for flags in case there's been an accident or some other hazard spotted ahead.
Check out where the nearest track events are to you, and pit your car against the freedom of having no limits.
