Dear all,
Until now, I've done a few trackdays through the Dutch BMW Drivers Club and
www.driving-fun.com - which organise days at mainly Benelux circuits. There are excursions to the Ring & some French tracks, but none of them are looking at the UK.
I would like to participate in a novice UK trackday at tracks like Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Knockhill, Thruxton etc.- in my perception "smaller / less famous" circuits, but very involving to drive. I'm thrilled by the Nordschleife and Charade (remains of the old Clermont-Ferrand circuit), and I'm looking for something similar in the UK.
It should be a day which has normal road cars & full blown racers in a reasonable mix. I'd hate feeling like a guppy in a piranha pond - being the only road legal car out there, so to speak. I've driven a RSR Alfa 75 amongst VLN Aston DBR9's piloted by Klaus Ludwig and the speed difference was immense and therefore quite intimidating.
Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start, which organisers are good / bad, what the atmosphere is at such respective trackdays. Am I allowed in without a racing driver licence? Could I get insurance as a non-UK-resident?
Any advice / hints / tips would be very welcome.
Erik
