Fully supported taster days: the best way to get you up-to-speed and help you decide whether or not racing is for you.
“It’s common to test a car before purchasing, and a sportscar should be no exception.
We will walk you through every step to get you racing competitively with the pack. Call me with any questions and we’ll get you behind the wheel in no time!”

Ideally, yes. A trackday is a relaxed format, but feeling comfortable in the car dramatically aids performance, and we believe being correctly suited helps.
At a minimum, you will need:
Optional:
No, but you will need a full driving licence if above the age of 18. If under 18, then you will need to pass your Association of Racing Drivers Schools (ARDS) test and come with a competition licence.
Whichever you like! We will find the best option for you, based on date and location.
You will receive the same support as you would on a race weekend. This includes a professional driver coach to talk you through technique and corners, and an experienced engineer to run through some data and get the car set up to suit your driving style. We will also have mechanics on hand to look after you and fix the car if you happen to have any mishaps.
We bring some of the basic spares with us and it’s likely we will fix the car the same day and get you back out on-track.
In the highly unlikely event that the car is not repairable on the same day, this will unfortunately mean an early finish.
We will ask for a deposit ahead of your trackday. This is to cover repairs to the car.
We will also ask for a small fee to cover the cost of the team, fuel and entry. This will be reimbursed, should you decide to race with us.
It’s normal to feel nervous, but, once you arrive at the track, we will take good care of you.
On a trackday, you will be driven around the circuit in a normal road car so you’re familiar with the corners.
Then you will be a passenger alongside one of our professional driver coaches. They will show you what the Radical can do and demonstrate its limitations.
Once the coach is confident you’ve understood, you will swap seats and they will guide you around the track.
Depending on the car, you will either have full radio contact with the coach sat next to you, or you will receive simple hand signals.
Once you’re up to speed and the coach is confident in your abilities and temperament, they will let you drive the remainder of the day alone.
You will enjoy a full day of driving, although there will be regular breaks to refuel you and your car!
