Track Day List

OK, need to think on how to do the experience level bit as it's not as simple as it may sound.

Great site, I have just booked the Rockingham track day on Friday 18th June. Is anyone else planning on going?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the comments and feedback. I've gone away and made quite a few changes to the track day list that I put up. Hopefully these are all positive and what you like to see! The changes are:

1) Date format is now DD-MM-YYYY instead of YYYY-MM-DD.

2) I've added Mornings/Afternoon lengths, previously it was just Full Day/Evening.

3) When you click on a flag on the map it no longer resets the zoom and centre of the map.

4) Clicking "Show Notes" no longer shows for all events, just the one you clicked.

5) Change the distance search, so mileages are now 50, 100, 150 and 200 instead of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200.

6) I've also put up a list of instructors and hire companies... if you are an instructor/hire company and want to be included let me know.

7) General redesign to make it a bit more attractive.

Updates to some of the labels, e.g. noise limits and full day, to make it clearer and easier to understand.

9) Biggest change for usability is you can now pass information to the search engine in the query string, e.g.:


To list Easytrack events:
Car: http://www.trackdaylist.com/?organis...hicle_type=Car
Bike: http://www.trackdaylist.com/?organis...icle_type=Bike

You could list all events at Silverstone at the weekends:
http://www.trackdaylist.com/?circuit...2&weekdays=1,7

Or maybe all events in July with a noise limit of 105dB:
http://www.trackdaylist.com/?noise_s...end=2010-07-31

Car events in August at Silverstone:
http://www.trackdaylist.com/?circuit...hicle_type=Car

I've also got in touch with all of the track day organisers, and had a really positive response from them, so thank you. Most organisers have asked for a login so they can add/edit their own events, which is great for everyone as it means the information is kept as fresh and up to date as possible. Less work for me too.

That's about it for now, as always please keep the feedback coming my way so I can improve it and make it the site you want it to be.

nice work mate!

great stuff mate

other search criteria that springs to mind is price range

Really useful site. I know that Castle Combe run track days (next one is 23rd June), and you have to go through the Castle Combe Circuit website.

They run a really good 'New to Track' programme. There are only 12 bikes out on the track at any one time, so there's no crowding. It's a great place to learn, apart from the noise issues, as they are very strict and fail a number of standard bikes.

Nice cafe, friendly instructors, good viewing, easy circuit, fuel close by.

Thanks for all the feedback

I've just come on to give everyone a bit of an update on trackdaylist.com

All the events are fully up to date, there have been quite a few (about 90) track day dates added recently. The big one is Donington - they are doing track days there again! So lots of car and bike dates added. Also a lot more dates at Snetterton, and a smattering at all the other circuits.

Hope that helps anyone who is booking a track day soon.

Great idea.
But...........
I've just done a search for all bike trackdays between now and the end of April within 100 miles of Leicester.
Result. 4 trackdays!
I take it this site is not being updated It's a shame because it's a brilliant idea and I'd imagine if it was well maintained then loads of people would use it instead of trawling through each of the organizers sites.
It could generate some revenue with ads for the owner too

It did work last year and very good it was. But I've also noticed that currently it is poop
