#TD18 was our final trackday of 2018 and our 18th event since we launched back in November 2016. That feels like a long time ago now! A lot of changes have happened in the last 2 and a bit years but our passion and excitement for trackdays has stayed the same.

For many the thought of owning a fast road car or track car is a distant dream. We simply don't have the means to spend thousands of euros per year for a few days of track time and don't have the discipline to spend hour after hour in a cold shed inevitably fixing what we broke at the last trackday. As if that wasn't a big enough barrier to motorsport, in this country we only have one real race track (Mondello) if you don't count karting tracks and for the majority of people, it takes hours to get there and...
