The Wainwright books are so interesting even if you're not going on a walk. We have one or two here and I love dipping into them occasionally. Why would you not start at those tracks? In GB it's possible to book these 'experience days' like this: buyagift.co.uk/driving-… but yours sounds more hardcore

You know, I was reflecting on why I made that comment about not starting at those tracks. I've been "track driving" for a number of years, very slowly building up my skill such that I feel comfortable driving really hard on a racetrack with other cars on the track. But there's a whole range of ways to get started, including like the one you mention. The way we approached Spa and the Ring is, we're going to drive at our limit, so that's really different. All the major sports car makers offer one- and two-day programs.
Sounds great, Tom
