preparing my car for track

[Jon.L]

Whats needed?
How much is insurance?
How much are track days?

 

[Nafoff]

in reality nothing is needed....what you can do is down to your wallet size though

insurance you can get day insurance, lots of variety on that

check renaultsport forum for track day prices as i hear they are very good

 

[Jon.L]

im going to get some track day wheels i think mayb sum speedlines, so i can have to seperate sets of tyres to burn! maybe some struts and poly mounts grooved discs and a induction set up.

Piece of string mate.

What's needed? How hardcore do you want to be? It'll be ok stock!

Insurance? Depends - annually or per event? Try http://www.nowellandrichards.co.uk/track-day-insurance.aspx - They offer a policy that has track insurance built into a 'normal' policy!

Track days? Last time I checked, they vary depending on time of year.

speak to the regular track day go'ers on here before spending (and in some cases, wasting) your money

for example - grooved discs, as you mention, are pointless


i cannot emphasise this point enough, instruction instruction instruction before spending a single penny on your car (well apart from the brakes maybe)

 

[Jon.L]

yer it makes sense!

 

[The Boosh!]

fred where do you get instruction from and how much do people charge for it?

 

[Jamesstone]

Good brake combo & cooling, Like Fred says, Get a morning with an instructor, Tom ( tompoms ) has shown me the light for how effective a lesson with some one who knows the track like the back of there hand is

[Jon.L]

yea thats what i was going to do james, how much is one roughly any idea?

 

[Jamie86]

Get some brembo Hc's and DS2500's on the front can;t recommend them enough tbh!

Abused them since fitting them and not seen any fade yet

 

[Fred@BTM]

a morning with an instructor? thats a start, try more like a good few days

http://www.drivingdevelopment.co.uk/ highly recommended

worth a massive amount more than any modification to a clio
