There are increasing numbers of people deciding that public roads are just not exciting enough for their cars and instead spending a day speeding round a pro race track. A leading experience-day operator has recently stated that more than 25% of the population have bought a track day for friends or family, and around 30% of people have been on one themselves. They are additionally seeing more people booking for corporate events. Because they are a relatively new trend however, there is still a lack of understanding about how they work. Lets take a look at some of the top track day tips.

Insurance. The large majority of professionally run race tracks have comprehensive insurance that covers all guests. With this in mind you shouldn’t have to arrange any for yourself, although it is worth checking  before hand to make sure.

Driver. Some track days are self-drive, whilst others are days where an expert takes you round, usually very fast. If you do get the chance to be driven by a professional, its worth paying close attention to their advice as they will have been round the track a million times before.

Licence. Most tracks are on privately owned land and so do not work on the same laws as public roads. That said, you’ll probably find that the majority of tracks won’t let you on without a license as they don’t want to take risks themselves.

Tires. Unless you are on a team building day and are not paying for any wear and tear, you might want to take care of your tyres. They can cost you a small fortune if you buy new, and whilst they might last years driving normally, just half an hour fast driving on a track can wear them right out.

Caution. Just because you are not on the public roads, it doesn’t mean that you suddenly become immortal. Track days are a great deal more dangerous than Henley Regatta for example, so make sure you’ve woken up before you get in the car.
