I've done similar before on the bike and was blown away with how much I learnt and had an absolute blast doing it. Cost is $350 (not sure how much a "free for all" trackday or club days costs, but am after a bit of guidance for my virginity), goes over 8 hours (with at least 20 mins track time each hour), includes instructors being available and lunch/refreshments. Details are here: https://driverdynamics.rezdy.com/44567/high-performance-training-and-race-track-driving-day-sandown Let me know if interested - would be great to catch up with some of you and share the day.

I usually go to the timed days run by club days which are a fair bit cheaper due to the lack of instruction, but I'm pretty sure we might be able to spectate for free unless Driver Dynamics don't allow it. If they do allow spectating, maybe we can use the day as a mini meet up for us on here? Just a suggestion. Regardless, make sure you get a timing app on your phone like RaceChrono or Harry's Lap Timer because Driver Dynamics don't include official lap timing in that package. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of any bad habits etc and find out the weak points in my setup/car that I need to address. Lap timing is expressly forbidden on the training days, but I'm sure the dashcam and gopro will give me close enough times after the event. Will look into the apps too. I'll be miles off any sort of consistency for it to be of any use other than interest or embarrassment anyway. Will probably be using the phone to monitor/log data/temps. Not sure on the spectating side - will find out if there's some interest, but doubt "Watch Rab go round Sandown" would get many takers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Highway outside would be louder than 74db when running smooth if measured from the side of the road. Passenger car at 65 mph at 25 ft (77 dB); freeway at 50 ft from pavement edge 10 a.m. (76 dB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
