Default Hottrax stops TD's

Oh dear sad day one less TDO

Hottrax Trackdays have pulled out of the UK Track Day business from October 2011 and closed
Hottrax Ltd. This does not affect our European Events or our Race Club at Hottrax Motorsport. All
of our European Events and Race Meetings will now be run under Hottrax Motorsport Racing Club
Ltd!
We have one event left this year with a track day group and that is Snetterton on 28th October.
This runs along side our test day and is just before our final round at Snetterton.
We have found that this year we cannot compete with other TDO's on price. We took pride in the
quality or our UK events but have seen that this is not enough in these days of rising fuel costs,
vat, circuit hire and insurance.
Hottrax will be acting as an agent for No Limits Track Days who we highly recommend. Any
vouchers or credits you may have with Hottrax Ltd are perfectly safe and can be used on our
European Events or Test Days or on No Limits Track Days as long as they are booked through us
at Hottrax Motorsport before the end of 2012.

Tis a shame, I've done a few with them and always found them well organised.

Hottrax: the nursery of many a racing career. Have used you maybe 60 times over the last 6 years and always a pleasure to deal with.

I've not been that impressed with FE lately, I much prefer No Limits, although they are all succumbing to the pressures of commercialism.

I've not had any real bad experiences with any of them 2bh but always got on with the guys from FE and theyre competitive on price. When some tw@ on an R6 nearly had me and a couple of others off at Mallory, we complained and the next session the organisers were keeping a close watch. Saw him for themselves, flagged him down in the pits and told him to pack his **** up and go home result I thought.

Plus I do enjoy bugging Neil Hodgson for tips, waiting til he gets bored behind me and then smoking me like a kipper

Hate the 3 laps then in that FE does at the start of the day at least now they seem to let you straight out again instead of letting the next group out for 3 laps and the next which resulted in cold tyres.

Also they have stopped charging for tuition now too and the talk at the start isn't such a long rant anymore.

Well that's what happened on the last FE trackday, they still arent as good as No Limits (free bacon butty and a great family atmostphere ) or MSV (very professional and business like).

I wonder if my hottrax t-shirt will be a collectors item now? No limits are on the right path with sarnies etc but I had a bit of a do with them about dropping prices at last minute this year. They send emails of deals/prices so you book early then just before event drop them to fill em so you actually got penalised for booking early! Club msv never seem to do days that match my shifts although the couple I have done with them were very proffesionally organised.

You're hardly going to up the price though if you're trying to fill places that'd otherwise go begging. Wouldn't make any business sense.
