I have only done a few track days, some track day gods may be able to give you a bit more advice but I'll answer from my limited experience.

How long will I get to ride during the day?

Normally 5 or 6 20 minute sessions. Doesn't sound a lot but you will be knackered!

Will they kick me off if they think a sprocket is too worn or something?

If your bike's condition is likley to damage the track or another rider you may get black flagged. A worn sprocket will be fine, but you will be working your bike harder than normal so probably best to have it in tip top condition. A certain forum member on here did a whole day at Silverstone on tyres squarer than Spongebob's pants and didn't have any problems.

Do I need both parts of my driving license?

Yes, although I have never had them check both.

Can I bring friends to watch for free?

Yes

Are they a decent company?

trackdays.co.uk are just a booking agent, the particular day will be ran by easytrack, I have yet to use them but a few people on here say they are the best company running track days at the moment.

And, would anybody like to come?

Brands is a bit far away for me as I'd have to ride down there in the morning and ride back at night, and I am working that day but I too have some vouchers that need using so I am tempted.

Have a read of this, should tell you all you need to know
