I'm scared of breaking mine so it's a no from me.
But I might come to watch

Sounds great, but a bit far away

im scared of breaking mine thats why i want some support

ha ha ha sorry I'll be in 5th gear at 2k revs pooping my pants. I've seen a few car crashes on donnington and though doh! If that was my car I'd be well pee'd off.

Plus insurance won't cover you if you break it.

I always fancied doing one in my car but my brother put me off as he used to do them on his bike and twice he crashed due to another rider. So I have recently booked up to go to Silverstone in July to do a single seater track day using there cars.

that trackday experiences looks mint would like to have a go.at elvington you dont get to race each over due to safty just get to give your car a good thrashing and home your racing skills

Plus one on that, the more money I put into her the more carefull I become

If you want to try a track day but want to keep it sensible, try www.mgs-on-track.com

These guys are an off shoot of the MG Car Club ( you don't have to be a MGCC member ) and they are run not for profit. This means no temptation to cram loads of cars on track to make money.

It's all MGs, it's all very sensible but that doesn't mean boring. I've done Brands and Silverstone GP and Donnington in October and each time I book instruction.

Must admit to being a bit apprehensive for my first visit, but they also have a buddy system to make sure a newbie has someone to shadow them as much or little as they want.

It's great fun, the only downside of spending the entire day between 5000 rpm and the redline is fuel consumption - 16 mpg last time

Forgot, here is a post about my trip to Silverstone - MGoT at Silverstone

Also, their Donnington visit this year is also running some special first timer sessions.

would like to do mgot but elvington is only 20 mins away so was thinking for my first time would be a good start but if i enjoy it tent will think about booking up with mgot

That makes sense, Brands is 20 minutes from here at that was where I started.

I'm sure Elvington will be a great day, I look forward to hearing about it.
