There have been a few forum trips over to the Ring, check out the Shows, Events and Meets section, I think all the previous pics etc are in the Track Day sub section. The Ring is a great place! :happy2:

Heaven on Earth.

1 thing of note. Check you're insured as most exclude it and be aware of the risks of not being insured - wiping out a biker or dropping fluids and causing a gaggle of GT3 RSs to crash will pretty much ruin you for life.

Otherwise, have fun.

Have to agree with the above!

It is awesome at the ring but you've gotta be very careful! You will enjoy it

They have now started doing trackdays as well as tourist days. Trackdays mean it is easier to get track specific insurance and any incidents are dealt with as knock for knock, so you aren't liable like on a tourist day. I did a trackday at the 'ring in April and it was by far and away a million times better than any tourist day. The organisation, the drivers are better behaved (on the whole anyway!), no buses, bikes, vans etc and a limitation of how many cars are allowed on the trackday, which means clearer laps. Also figure into the equation that unless there is a major crash on the trackday, the track is kept open. There were around 5 incidents on the day I went and not one shut the track down. When I've been on a tourist day in the past, at least 4 of these would have shut the track down. On trackdays you also get a full flag system with a comprehensive amount of people at trackside to use them. :smiley:
