Feck me msvt are expensive. I can have my car on knock hill for £70 inc entrance fee. These feckers want about £250 for a full day session money grabbing tw*t f*cks. Recon going on one of their days would cost approx £500 for one day. Went the feckin Ring 2 years ago for £1200 inc ferry accom lits of drink etc and the was 3 full days.________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

That's unfortunately the price of most track days at the bigger circuits during summer most down at donnington seem to be £300 lately. It sometimes pays to turn up on the day and get a discounted cancelation but it can be a gamble. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Recon going on one of their days would cost approx £500 for one day. Went the feckin Ring 2 years ago for £1200 inc ferry accom lits of drink etc and the was 3 full days. If you look back, I tried to organise a forum Trackday with an exclusive circuit hire for the day. Most circuits want £10,000 per day plus vat plus public liability insurance cover for £2 million. Now I have family who live in the vicinity of oulton park, they're treated like kings by the circuit purely as if the locals complain the circuits can easily be close and their licences to run noisy trackdays 95db and above be revoked. It cost them a fortune for licences to allow noise on so many days a year, so after trying to make a profit on top there has to be an understanding that it's going to be expensive just for it to be viable for them to run the days. Now I see ur point about knockhill but knockhill have very few if not only one open pit day a year. I as u know took my car to knockhill last year and it was a sessioned day, supposedly 4 groups. This didnt end up being the case, it ended up as 7 groups running 15 min sessions iirc. You do the maths it ended up we got something like 4 15 minute sessions which whilst the circuit was fun it was a bit of a ripoff as they were still taking people booking on throughout the day. An open pit day at say oulton with track action, javelin etc will cost a fair chunk more but generally they'll only have limited number of cars there and it's open pit so your almost guaranteed to get A LOT more track time there fore your getting more for your money. I'm guessing your looking at a open pit day at oulton in July/ August with club MSV? They are generally the most expensive days. Keep a look out though there are days in the £170 mark which is more value they're just harder to find. Alternatively I go to oulton every year in Nov with Trackaction online, they limit the numbers and it's circa £130 for all day open pit, it's generally the same people every year and as I say nicely restricted on numbers and therefore very little/ no waiting time making it a lot better value. Have a look at Liverpool Motorsport club website too, they do run the odd day at Aintree but the circuit is limited and I believe it's quite busy... Unfortunately it's an expensive hobby doing trackdays and there's not really a lot of ways round it! If your interested In the oulton day later in the year il send you the link when the time comes if you like? ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

He sessions are defo a lot shorter than they used to be especially in summer. They do have open pit sessions 4 hr sessions for £100 per car about twice a year , trackscotland do another 2 there year. Shame that forum trackday didn't happen . Was just looking for something different now that I live in Blackburn for most of the week. Migr just save up and head to the ring instead . ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi6PS3 - Black Ops 2 Engine crane for hire Renfrewshire |

MSVT pays the same for track hire as the other organisers and generally runs fewer cars so the trackday itself is slightly more expensive to make up the same amount of money. Jeffers is right, it's about £10k + VAT + liability for Oulton and £13k + VAT + liability for Brands Indy which is a lot of money to make from people doing the trackdays!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

But why involve the third party ? Run it themselves, cut out msvt's margin. Visit to the ring ftw. If its still open obviously.

Motorsport vision own the circuits and motorsport vision trackdays are the organizers for trackdays and are part of the same group, same with motorsport vision racing. I'm off to oulton on Tuesday for ARDS test which is about 20mins on track for £250!I must agree with the value for money of open pit lane trackdays they are MUCH better than days with sessions, I've also found out never to do a trackday with a show on at the same time! Sprints are a waste of money too. Sit in traffic at the start line for ages then 1 minute track time! ________________________________________ The 205205 GTI6 For Sale Off Racing! |

Quite why it needs to cost £250 I don't know but I think a lot of that goes to the MSA. Getting mine done at the beginning of next year. ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

You think it's bad now, wait until you start paying entry fees I thought about doing trackday/test day before every event to get to know the circuit as they only allow 20min practice/qualifying on race day, after pricing it up its safe to say I won't be doing much testing! phillipm wrote: Wait until your perfectly good seats, belts and helmet go out of date.
