Can I do a novice track day with a cage

[GrahamS]

It's only a half cage. Someone told me that if I had a cage they wouldn't let me on. Even though it's my first proper track day. I'm looking to give a £100 evening session at Brands a go shortly.

Of course I can give them a call but just happen to be wondering now when they're closed.

Cheers

I would say yes.

 

[Andy93]

I'd imagine so

I'd be surprised if they'd say no. Novice surely refers to the driver regardless of the car. If you went on and started masterfully carving everyone up like a seasoned track day c**t they would call you on that.

It won't matter. So long as the car is safe.

I have a cage and only done 2 track days both in novice..

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I think its Novice with a pinch of salt....

If you turn up in a race suit, in a race prepped car, with a team of mechanics .. they'll probably tell you to do one.

If you've done 3 track days already, they won't a) know or b) care.

Whether you turn up in your mums Micra or a stripped out Clio with a cage, it doesn't mean you're not a novice ? You might have borrowed a friends car...

Wouldn't worry about it !

Yes.

From the MSV site:

"The Novice stipulation is in reference to the driver, not the machine. Novice drivers are welcome to come in their road car; but some have already acquired track cars at this point or may be hiring one. In every case - they all are Novice drivers."
