Track Days Organizers
Track days are available in any number of ways. They may be offered directly by race tracks. However, most often you must go through a third party. There are three types of organizations providing track days. Remember, these are not racing events nor racing sanctioning bodies, although some may offer both high performance driving and racing at the same event. These organizations are supplementing the costs of racing by offering track day "driver education." Watch out with these. The racers are often the top priority. If the event falls behind schedule, the time will be made up from the HPDE sessions and not the racing sessions. The upside is that you do get to watch some racing and can get the sense of whether racing may be for you down the line. Clubs, which are not for profit, also offer track day events. Although the club may be marque-specific, all car brands are usually eligible. Well maybe not so with the Ferrari clubs. Finally, there are for-profit companies offering track days. Even though some providers are for-profit and some are non-profit, the fees tend to be the same. Expect to pay anywhere from $250 to $450 per day. Many events are two dayers over a weekend. Some groups have run sessions of about a half hour and usually four per day. These generally group drivers by experience level. Others offer open track, with all drivers mixed together on track. The advantage is more track time. The down side is that if you are just starting out, it may be overwhelming to have people coming up in your mirrors repeatedly. It is best to be able to focus on what you are doing rather than watching those mirrors. There are a number of racing schools which teach skills that can lead to racing or help a track day driver. I attended the Skip Barber 3 day racing school even though I have never raced cars. There are a host of ways to go track driving. See the list below to explore the possibilities.
We do the research so you do not have to. This list is fully vetted. Unlike other resources on the net that are not updated and refreshed, each provider on this list has been verified to be current and offering track days as opposed to racing events.
