Hi people, I'm after some advice and would be grateful if someone could help.
I am interested in taking my bike to a track day for the 1st time, could anyone recommend a company to use. I have looked at Focused Events, Hottrax and No Limits. Any advice would be appreciated. thx Ian

All three companies you've listed will do the job, although I've generally had a more positive experience with No Limit's & hottrax.

What track are you thinking of doing?

Have a look at this thread for a bit more information

Focussed events are good, but they are obsessed with safety. They might be good for a newbie. Hottrax, I can't remember anything about the last Hottrax day I did, but thats probably a good sign.

No Limits are good. Very relaxed, good briefings and good with novices.

They are all good, the dodgier track day companies have fallen by the wayside really. Focused isn't so good if you've done lots of trackdays before but for a first time they are probably a good bet.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I don't think Donnington is open at the moment, and its very expensive. Rockingham International is quite good fun, you get to go on banking and everything.
