Session price divided by minutes on track, calculated the same way everywhere. Group event pricing differs, so treat this as a guide to relative value.
The thing that catches groups out. Below the minimum you either pay for absent drivers or book an open session instead.
We calculate it the same way for every track: price divided by minutes on track. It is the only way to compare a 20-minute session against a 30-minute one.
At the same price per minute, a 750m circuit gives you nearly twice the driving of a 400m one. We show the distance you would cover.
Balaclavas, gloves and licence fees are often mandatory and rarely in the headline price. Every listing shows them.
Some tracks genuinely take walk-ins. Most reserve track time, and turning up without a booking means waiting or leaving.
