How it works

What we compare

A track day price on its own tells you very little. £199 for a sessioned day with two groups and £199 for an open-pitlane day are not the same purchase. So we reduce every event to one number: the price you pay per minute you can realistically expect to be on track.

Estimated track minutes

For sessioned events, where the day is split into groups that take turns, we divide each hour between the groups: 60 ÷ number of groups, multiplied by the published running hours. A four-group day with 7 running hours gives an estimated 105 minutes.

For open-pitlane events — and for any event whose format is not published — we assume a driver spends 45% of the running window actually on track. The remaining time is fuel, tyres, cooling, queueing in the pit lane, red flags and sighting laps. Price per minute is then calculated from that estimate: price ÷ estimated minutes.

That 45% figure is an assumption, not a measurement. It is deliberately a single published number rather than a per-event guess, and we show the theoretical maximum (all running hours on track) next to every estimate so you can see how much of the figure is ours and how much is the organiser's.

What we never do

• We never invent data. Where an organiser has not published a price, running hours, noise limit or group count, the table says "Not published" rather than filling in a guess.
• We take no bookings and charge no fees. Every booking link goes directly to the organiser, at the organiser's own price.
• We do not guarantee prices. Listings change; availability is shown with the date we last updated it, so you can judge how stale it is.

Availability

Availability is a snapshot, labelled with when it was updated ("updated 3 days ago"). Sold-out events stay in the table so that price comparisons across a circuit remain honest, but they show "—" rather than a price you can no longer pay.
