Brands is right on my door step so I should really get some track time on there!

You are unlikely to overheat anything in December anyway, and your stock IC will do the job quite nicely.

Looks like per car/driver - they charge an extra £10 for a passenger . I'd assume if you take 2 cars, you'd have to book 2 slots thus 2 lots of dosh

Yep I'm with Alex... i've taken stock cars out on track in the past. I even took a stock 1986 fiesta (950) out once

Track days are not about power, or handling really....they are about fun. power and handling come later. I've been on a track day in a 380+bhp RS Turbo before now with full race susp and cage.... I had more fun driving my classic 1000cc stg 1 Mini round with stock brakes and tyres!

Sounds like a complete trackday novice like me could have a try, and see what it's like. Put me down as a tentative yes .

I may be up for this too , will know nearer the time. Brands sounds like a good place to get to know the flappy paddles fully (it's an auto )
