Track days promise unforgettable thrills… and a few nasty surprises. In this episode, James and Ant break down what a track day actually is (vs. driving experiences vs experience days), why instructors and etiquette matter, how fast the costs and consumables add up, and the formats that give the best value — from PalmerSport at Bedford Autodrome to renting prepared cars, and even dipping a toe at the Nürburgring.

• Track day vs. experience day: key differences and expectations

• Where to go (MSV circuits like Snetterton, Brands Hatch, Donington, Silverstone)

• Costs in the real world: tyres, pads, fuel, insurance/excesses

• Why rental/corporate days (e.g. PalmerSport) can be better value than using your own car

• Etiquette & safety: point-bys, passing zones, open pit lane vs. sessions

• Racing Instructor wins: going faster and feeling safer

• Nürburgring options: Rent4Ring and ring taxi passenger laps

• Our idea of a perfect day, and why the people make it
