One of my aspirations for 2019 is to race (drive) around a track.
I guess I can probably take my MK4 MX5 but don’t want to risk damages and so on because she has great sentimental value to me.
Therefore I was wondering if anyone knows if there’s a track day, that has a hire option (esp a MK4, since that’s what I’m familiar with).
Since I’m totally new to all this I’d also like some tuition, because I’m sure it’s a different skill to simply bombing around the country lanes bright and early on a summer’s morning.
You could also try the sprint event where you are the only one on the track. Therefore you can drive as safe as you want but still enjoy the experience and feel of driving your own car around the track.
you could dip your toe in at one of the Club’s Curborough sprint training events this year, they’re safe and great fun, or look out for other action at the Club Spring and National rally. My first ever track drive was at Curborough, you use your own car, but no other traffic to get in the way!
Javelin track days used to hire out MX-5s on their events but not sure they do now and looking at the options they have for hire now it would be cheaper to go buy your own MX-5 just to do a few events!
Also if you are completely new to it attend a track day or two and get some passenger rides first, if you’ve not done that it will open your eyes as to what the cars will do…
