Default Track driving tuition?!..

Booking for Croft this year but have NEVER driven on a track!

Has anyone been on one of them days, where you jump in with an instructor, and they show you all about racing lines etc...

If so who did you do it with and where? Did you use your own car or one they supplied..

Want to go on one before the day! Any recommendations? I'd pref want to do it at either croft or oulton park as there closest to me!

Thanks!

Oulton Park is the place for that on a Track-Sport day.

Who are you booking the trackday with ? Most trackday organisers can arrange for an instructor if you want one, its at an extra cost of course, ask them. I used to do a lot of track days with the group b car club and there was always a couple of people to show the newbies the ropes, spme do beginner sessions as well where you can follower an instructor for a few laps just to get a feel for the right lines etc....

Using X Factor UK for mine

You can either use Noble M12 GTOs or a Focus RS race car.

If your booking the derbyshire/durham rsoc @ croft then the beginner session has a pace car on the first session showing you the lines.

im pretty sure they have instructors too if needed but to be sure send le-claw a pm

Tuition is free if you go to a Track-Sport day.

When you sign on, just ask for free tuition from an instructor or just go up and ask one.
