Jarama nr Madrid - Track Day ???

[ESDavey]

I went there today to photograph the historic racing. Looks like a fantastic circuit with a good mix of fast, slow & gradient corners. Not the ascents & descents of Cadwell but looks fine.

Anyone done a track day @ Jarama ? Any recommendations for track day organisations in Spain / Madrid area ?

103 Octanos are about the only decent one now, a bit different from your average UK trackday though!

Kinheck their website is REALLY annoying. Guess they wont like my Led Zep in the pitlane !!
hold on ... maybe I was wrong ... got a little groove on. Now where did I leave my whistle, I know, on the beach in Ibiza)

Thankfully their website doesn't attend the trackdays!

Quite an eye-opener doing their days though, complete contrast to the UK. Bit of a free-for-all, overtake where you like and most importantly everyone is given timing equipment with laptimes printed at lunch/end of the day.

Nice buzz though and busy with quite a few decent cars now (originally it just seemed to be a load of Alonso wannabes in Seat diesels that had been chipped to death and more akin to a destruction derby). Now it seems things have moved on and there's a lot more dedicated trackday cars in use.

I've given up driving a decent car here now, instead we just turn up at the events with a simulator and try and make some money instead

Be careful about safety - someone was killed on a trackday at Jarama a few years ago I believe; Guadix is a good track , but half a day's drive so you need to factor in an overnight

Doesn't stop people driving Goodwood, or Anglesea/Oulton/Snetterton/Cadwell (if you add Bike days!)
