Hi Callum, I too really enjoyed the day at siverstone , the rain made it even more of an experience. Topcatz do put on a good show by not being over the top on glitz (as the porsche lot in the next garage appeared to be.) But the car ran all day with out a murmer and they answer all your questions frankly. (Yes Richard , you did ask a lot of questions.)

Hey, I've got a brand new race car to set up and no experience of doing it - course I was going to ask a few questions. Echo what has been said above though - they are a great bunch of guys, and even though the day is more expensive than the various experience days out there, it kills on value for money.

As for the rain making things more interesting - well, I won't argue with that, but I deffinitely wouldn't recommend spinning a Tuscan on the way out of Woodcote - even if you do end up pointing the right way afterwards

Can I ask the costs and amount of track time?

Here's a write up from a satisfied customer, with links to (possible outdated) pricing.

As a confirmed Tuscaholic I have to say I think you are looking at this from the wrong point of view if you consider it in terms of track time and cost! Once you've tried it you'll understand, its something that every true petrolhead simply *must* do at least once. But I have to warn you, it's addictive!

Costs and track time are important - you wouldn't spend £1000 for five minutes no matter how good the car (well I wouldn't anyway).

The days are organised at UK track days at Silverstone , Bedford and now Donnington too. If the day isn't open pit lane, Topcats will buy into all of the sessions. The day is split between four drivers, so that is a quarter of a day each.

Costs are around £550 plus VAT, so not cheap, but as Peter has said above, there is a deffinite influence of the Heart in the decision making process!

The general concensus of people that have done the day is well worth it
