Synopsis

A must read for any track day goer

There's very little to beat the thrill of driving on a race track. The freedom to drive fast. The challenge of learning the smoothest lines. The satisfaction that comes from getting the best from yourself and your car. Few things are more absorbing or addictive.

However, if you're new to it, track driving can also be daunting and intimidating. Scary, even. At least if you attempt to drive too fast too soon, or take to the track in a poorly prepared car. There is much to learn. Fortunately Colin Hoad is here to help. Or rather his book is. With four decades of wisdom distilled into its pages, this comprehensive Track Day Guide contains everything the enthusiastic newcomer needs to get the absolute maximum from their track day adventures. The only thing it won't prepare you for are the number of friends you'll make, the laughs you'll have and the unforgettable memories you'll bank along the way.

So, enjoy the book, and enjoy your track days. Something tells me you're going to have a blast. Dickie Meaden - Co-founder of Evo magazine or Motoring journalist and racer

Colin’s wealth of experience over the years is distilled here for the first time, and is a must read for any track day goer seeking to get the most for their hard won money and time. Written to help you make informed decisions, optimise spend, purchase the right equipment, ensure you keep safe and have fun, it is full of answers to questions you should ask before venturing onto track. It will help you enjoy every circuit mile you drive.

Answers such questions as:

What car would you buy for track days?

Would you upgrade the brakes?

Which circuit would you choose for your first track day?

What is the likelihood I will damage my car?
