Hey guys, thanks for the welcome.Whereabouts in Scotland are you AB?? Spent most of my time in Edinburgh.Cobie,Only did a few "track days" as such. Most trackdays here are organised by a bike shop or a group of bikeshops and usually cost about 18,000 for 3 X 20 minute sessions. Also, Dunlop/Bridgestone occasionally offer track days whereby if you are using their tyres you'd get a 5,000 yen discount, sometimes a bit more, from the usual price. After the first year of doing a few trackdays like above I decided to get my track licence for TI Aida ( was the venue for the Formula 1, Pacific grand prix in '95 or '96). You check the circuit schedule and there are various different sessions listed on the schedule which you then have to book the sessions you intend to practice. 4 wheels, 2 wheels big (4 stroke 600cc upwards, 2 stroke 250GP up), 2 wheels small etc (4 strokes up to 600cc and 2 strokes up to250). Usually 40 minute practice sessions costing 4,000 yen per session. Usually I'll do two or three sessions on any day I practice. Basically this system means that anyone that has the circuit licence( licences are track specific so you need one for each circuit you intend to pracxtice at) can be out there practicing. Not sure about instruction/education though. Never seemed to be much emphasis on instruction with the trackdays I experienced. More just the group you're allotted to must all stay behind the instructor.
