Hi Guys I need some help !
I did a track day a few years ago in my Lotus Elise @ Anglesey, and while I enjoyed parts of it, I nearly got completely wiped out by a bloke in Nissan GTR who overtook me / missed me by literally inches, I guess I was doing 60mph and passed me half off the track at over 100mph.
Suffice to say it was Open Session type set-up, and the mix left me exhausted and paranoid about either slowing people down or repeating the GTR incident.
It was a sad that this incident has put me off ever repeating havin a go again, but here is where I need your help..... I really can't find anybody who runs closed sessions ( apart from next Tuesday in Wigan :grin: ) they seem to be a bit of a Uniciorn of track days for a novice.
Ideally I'd like a track that isn't 200 miles away and has decent run offs, I live 35 mins from Oulton Park but it's a dead loss if you make a mistake, I'm only 80 mins from Anglesey but no one runs sessioned track days.
Do you any alternative suggestions / ideas ?
Cheers
