Keeping you safe and happy

All our cars are prepared for events in our own workshop. We have high standards for car preparation and quality checking of components to keep all our drivers as safe as possible when on track.

Track Days - a great day out for all

The Track Day events run on both weekdays and weekends at nearly all of the UK's best race circuits. Track Days give drivers the opportunity for high speed driving without the restrictions of public roads. There is always lots to see and do at Track Days with cars running from Fiats to Ferrari's and Protons to Porsches.

Track Days are great for spectators too, with lots of action out on track to watch. Wander around the paddock and you'll be able to chat to car owners about their vehicles and driving experiences.
