Donington Park Circuit, DE74 2BN, Castle Donington, GB
I arrived late and missed the briefing session but the team were very understanding and arranged a second session for latecomers that meant I lost very little track time. The drivers were very sensible and there was only 1 red flag. The tuition from the official instructor was very good.
Despite the heavy rain that started after a point everybody just kept pushing forward to keep the fun alive.
Good briefing with minimal hassle. All very relaxed with free tea coffee and biscuits. A very decent crowd of drivers with mixed cars and ability. Additionally very knowledgable staff too. So keep up the hard work & well done!!
BaT were very professional and friendly.I have no complaints what so ever. My friends and I had an excellent day.Thank you BaT.
Definitely the best organised track day I've been to, will try and use them for all future track days. Perfect number of cars for brands indy, well organised, instruction was great, and great photos which came through super quick!
Brands is a great track and the Book a Track organisation and systems were great. Kept things going quickly and easily. Nice friendly staff.....all around great track day!
Well run although they don't enforce their rules well enough regarding overtaking ( as most of them don't) and this resulted in a collision that could have been avoided as the driver at fault was constantly flouting the rules. Nearly all these companies in the briefing state the rules but then let them slip over the day. I would say that these were one of the better run track day companies with the staff friendly and on the whole helpful.
Hired the Caterham R300 for an open pit lane track day at Bedford Aerodrome. The car was there and ready on arrival. After a quick run through on the car I was out on the track. Did several sessions throughout the day and the car was brilliant giving a real track car experience that road cars cannot give. The R300 handling is second to none and the close ratio gearbox means you have loads of power in every gear. Scott from bookatrack joined me on the day and kept me topped up in petrol and gave me some guidance to improve my track skills. Couldn't ask for a better service on the day. Will be back to these guys again for some high octane fun very soon.
It was easy to book, the team on arrival were friendly and helpful, lunch and snacks were nice, and it was a quiet day with lots of high quality track time. Highly recommended.
A great track day, from the briefing to the control of the cars on track. Even in filthy British weather, it was always safe and fun, with great support from Jonny and the team, and excellent instructors on hand.
Enjoyable evening session at Brands. The R300 was great to drive, certainly an eye opener. It would be good of there were a few more evening sessions at Brands to cater for budgets and the need to only take half a day off work for folks in and around London.
I have used BaT for several years, during which time the team have been consistent in making all efforts to get the basics of the day sorted, with no fuss, leaving you to fully enjoy your track time. Recently I have also hired cars, which have been set-up and maintained to a high standard - meaning that I've been able to continue enjoying track days, even after selling my race car.
A great day, great people and a day focused on enjoyment. higher price well worth it as quality of driver attending better than average
As always, a well organised track day. I do think £10 is too much to charge passengers though, particularly when the day cost £240.
Great time, well organised, def go again!
I attended a BookaTrack track day at Donington on Friday 30/05/14. Overall the event was well organised with a thorough safety briefing, organisers who were welcoming & easy to communicate with & the majority of people on track abiding by the rules / treating other track goers with respect. There were quite a few race cars on track which was pretty intimidating at first but most of them gave me a wide birth when overtaking me, several times a session! However, I very nearly had collisions with a clio cup racer, a lotus exige & caterham 7, all due to them coming round the outside in corners / doing me on the brakes. I actually ended up leaving the event an hour early because I genuinely felt that I was at risk of being involved in a crash. Not helped by the number of cars spinning off the track in the afternoon & causing every session I went out in to be red flagged. A shame as Donington is my favourite track & I had been looking forward to this for ages. This isn't a criticism of BAT, my main annoyance was with the few track goers / racers who were treating the event as a qualifying session & doing so at the expense of other track users. However, it seemed to me that one of the BAT team needed to spend a little time on track to keep an eye on the track goers as a small number of them ended up ruining the day for me. As said above, not a criticism of BAT, I guess this is just a suggestion on how I think the event could have been improved & made more enjoyable for some of its customers.
Really friendly and professional outfit with a genuine open pit lane format. I can't recommend them highly enough!
My first time at a big track, the rain, the paddock full of professional transporters, the garages full of race cars made me quite aprehensive. BAT staff were courteous , answered all my questions. We got out on track promptly for sighting laps and the session started on time. I appreciated the way we were treated as adults, no one was checking if we had done our helmets up or telling us when we could join the track. Stoppages were few, and dealt with quickly. Will go again, and reccomend BAT without reservation.
i would recommend Bookatrack for every track booking. Well done to the team !!
I was unable to make the briefing but when I arrived they quickly did a one to one. The day was safely and sensibly run with few red flag incidents. Will be returning.
