We believe our attitude to novices to be one of our strongest points. It's important to us that novices enjoy their day and go home wanting to come again. Here are some of the reasons that you should chose the Folly if you are new to trackdays or want more help and consideration than you have found elsewhere.

The novice group gets its own briefing before the day starts. This covers procedures, safety and riding skills. Copies of our own "Novice Guide to Trackday Riding" are available free of charge. The briefing gives members of the group the opportunity to meet and subsequently recognise the people they will be riding with.

At 9:40am they should be ready for their first session which will be twenty minutes in smaller groups initially following instructors at road speeds with no overtaking - boring but essential. This session teaches where the corners are and the correct lines to use. At 10:40am for twenty minutes and for twenty minutes an hour thereafter they are on their own on the circuit able to overtake and be overtaken. Officers will be circulating with them to watch for dangerous or inconsiderate riding or those who are so good they need moving up a group.

There is a non-compulsory debrief after the 10:40am session. Thereafter officers and instructors will be available all day for hints, tips and one-to-one on-track instruction if required - all without charge.
