Default How much u guys pay for your track day ?

Hi guys
Just wondering wot's the typical track fee charged in your respective area...
Pls specify the circuit name, the duration and cost per car

Let me get the ball rolling...

* Sepang International F1 Circuit (3 hour session) - SGD 170 per driver

PCA events are roughly 170$ a day for a 2 week days event but you only get 4 X 20min sessions a day. Private days can range anywhere from 325$ to 500$ a day during the week-end but you get over 4 hours of track time.

I pay over $1,000/day for a track day, and around $300 per autoX. No car depreciation included, and no after hours drinks (and sometime meals) included either.

our local track is 80-100 bucks a day with a $90 monthly fee for being a member.

hence why I drive so often...it's WAAAAAY cheaper than it could be.

when I was in italy at Varano, it was 40-50 euros per session. but you've got to pay in cash so the cosa nostra can maintain a regional presence.

nurburgring has an annual membership for a few thousand euros also...

I'd love to run silverstone!

In the UK, events organised by the Porsche Club are typically the equivalent of around $400 - $600. On those, you will typically have about sessions of about 15 minutes, and around six to eight of those during the day.

Hoosier A6s............$140.00
Fuel and transport.....$70.00
Entry fee...................$35.00
Lunch..........................$6.00
*********
$251.00
Per autox day, assuming 10 days of 8 runs for the A6s, if I am lucky. Bottled water, Gatorade, and ice add about another $10.00.

The real cost of the track days is the shopping spree done for/by the wife to get permission to go.

The Nordschleife is quite a bargain. From 400-800 euro will get you an open pitlane day.

Virtually unlimited driving on the best track in the world.

Coming up in a week or so there is a track day utilising the full lap which includes both the GP Strecke and th Nodschleife!

Should be a lot of fun...

Much company in that dept!! The cost of the track is the insignificant part! Watches, jewlery, vacations, UGH. I thought the problem was the cost of the car

Only $60 for 4 hours at Pueblo Motorsports Park. Old track in Denver used to be $48 for 4 hrs when you bought a pack of 5 days.
