Circuit Days Track Days
Event Style
Run in accordance with AMRCO (Association of Motor Racing Circuit Owners) and ATDO (Association of Track Day Organisers) guidelines, Circuit Days track day events have gained a very favourable reputation over the last 7 years. We endeavour to organise events with a very high driving standard, but in a relaxed atmosphere. We do not run a regimented style of discipline. We do not discriminate in any fashion whatsoever regarding the car you drive. All cars are welcome.
All CD staff drive their own cars on all the events we organise, both to actively monitor driving standards and to enjoy driving the circuit – at the end of the day we are all petrolheads that love to drive in a relaxed and above all safe environment.
Free Tuition
We do not charge for tuition (20 minutes). If you are new to track days, we appreciate it can be a little daunting to start with. That is why we encourage all attendees, especially novices, to take advantage of the free 20 minute session. All tuition is undertaken by ARDS (Association of Racing Driver School) grade ‘A’ instructors that have been chosen both for their experience and also knowledge of each particular circuit.
Free Additional Drivers and Passengers
Why pay for additional drivers and passengers? It does not cost us any more money so why should we charge? On Circuit Days events you can have up to 4 drivers and/or 4 passengers for each car booked for no additional charge. This can potentially make a track day very cheap should the cost be spread over 3 drivers for instance.
Circuit Days Road Tours
Circuit Days road tours started out when Chris and a few friends / customers decided to drive to the Nurburgring in 2004. Following a superb 12 car trip, it was decided that a similar event, along with a trip to the Alps, be put on the website. The Nurburgring 700 and Alpine Adventure were thus born. Over 30 road tours have been successfully organised and completed by Circuit Days since, with up to 80 cars participating in some instances.
The Routes - History
After passing his driving test in April 1995, Chris immediately decided to drive to the south of France in his mother’s Ford Fiesta. What followed was an epic 3,000 mile, 7 day journey. Despite having no air con (1995 was a scorching summer and the old Fiesta did not have any form of climate control), the trip whetted Chris’s appetite for more.
