i stayed away from this because of the cost and the limited track time.

my first track experience was silverstone on a normal track day, for about £100. this was the right route for me, there were lots of instructors available on the day to ask for help.

i think i know who you're on about David, and i think he was at the trackday i did with phil620 before my race at Donington. the instructors and general organisation that day (trackday booked/organised by the circuit) were the worst i have ever experienced, i complained about one guy who was (i kid you not) doing lifesavers, mirror checks and wearing sparky knee sliders, and NOTHING was said.
