How much do you pay usually?

they are advertising an arrive n drive one over here on the isle of mung for £65, that gives you 4.5hrs track time

is this reasonable?

Does seem cheap, but the map of the corsa shows the reason. Looks a little bland and boring.

But all track action is fun

daimo that's a decent looking track just no hair pins, nice few straights to test raw speed and braking a nice sweeping left and a few chicanes

Tom, looks pretty boring to me.

Few staights and a few sweeping corners. Not that much breaking.

But that picture isn't really the best of diagrams tbh.

Ditch, typo course

if you do lots of track days and pay for insurance every time, consider TVR insurance.

It's underwritten by the same firm who do vauxhall, tesco, BMW etc.

And why? Cos it has standard unlimited trackday cover so long as you ring em to let em know in advance of each one.
