Track days are killing motorsport. Countless venues that could be used for sprints - the real grass roots level for newcomers to motorsport - are tied up by so-called track days that, as has been more than adequately explained, rarely if at all permit driving to competition standards. Its not "good value for money compared to a sprint" if a track day wont let you drive properly. Its all well and good trying to bridge the gap to the cruise brigade to attract young drivers off the roads but if there are no venues left for the lower levels of true motorsport the end will come.
