silverstone and castle combe have track days and also do on most events they hold not the easiest circuits but bloody good ones in my opinion

just a shame it was wet at trax as i was up for it, and you dont have to go mental around there but give it a good go

its well worth having instruction from the plethora of instructors that are at track days. Saves going out "blind"

Are you in Kent? If so I would say try Brands Hatch as its fairly close for your first outing. You'll feel more relaxed and aren't too far if you have any problems. I've used most organisers and I would say my best experiences have been with Book-a-track. My biggest gripe is with Caterfield drivers who won't let anyone past, especially if you are in a Nova!

I would recommend llyden if you are in kent, a far more relaxed and friendly venue than brands imo and just as good ,free tuition from a veteran mini racer aswell and quite a bit cheaper although it is in sessions rather than open pit

Check brakes and levels. Remember you need to drive home so car and more importantly tyres need tobe road legal!
