£45. Which is actually pretty expensive for the tracktime you get to be honest, £55 gets you into one of the open pit day sessions (for comparison, the evenings I've done I think we did 28 fast laps, on the one open session half day I did I put in about 100 laps despite breaks and a crash). If you want top value, really the open pit days are the only option but they mix up the loons with the sane, the track bikes with the commuters... Not ideal. This is more expensive but more controlled.

Thanks. I may come along for that. What do they mean by "track bikes only"?

If you didn't really corner any faster or brake any later than you would on the road, would folk get ****ed off with you? I'd like to do a track day and get the benefits involved, but my bike is still relatively new what puts me off is I really don't want the upset nor the expense of binning it.

Can you turn up and pay on the gate once you know if the weather is dry? Does it cost anything to come and watch and get a feel for how it all works?
Do they insist on leathers and race boots, or are my usual textiles and aqua boots OK?

Sorry for the spanish inquisition

EDIT: Sorry, scratch all that. I found the FAQ page. I can't do it I don't have leathers. Might come up and say hello though if the weathers good.
