I guess it offers a halfway house between track days and proper race series so if anyone craves a competitive edge to trackdaying then maybe it might be of interest.

So why are they charging £299 for a maximum of 1hr:15min on track. :eek: Apart from scrutineering and admin I can't see any additional costs. Our days are around half that for usually 2hr:20min.

But not a cheap option, Snetterton £229, but you have to join club MSV to register at £50, you need a National Class B licence, doc's fees and ARDS assessment I don't know but lets guess £300-400. You need 2010 MSA compliant helmet, race suit and gloves £500?, the car needs roll cage, four point harness, battery cut out, fire extinguisher, seat bolted down £500-700?. That is before you've turned a wheel, but you can see by the entries for the first one at Brands it is probably going to be popular. For the really hard core track day enthusiast I can see the attraction. However it may attract a lot of low budget racers, compared to say the Peter Best Championship, you would get more track time per individual event with less travelling.
