Announcing: BTST Trackday Experience 8th June!

From: Adam Blair

Dear BTST Member,

We’ve been working incredibly hard this year to bring you BTST Trackdays!

Its no secret that my real passion in life is racing. So I’m excited to bring the thrill that you can only get from Motorsport to as many BTST Members as possible…

We’ll have two highly experienced ARDS (Association of Racing Driver Schools) Instructors — Steve and Matt — plus myself there (about Adam’s racing history) .

For the cars, we have the amazing track-ready Suzuki Swift Sport, and my Mazda MX5 Supercup race car.

The first ever BTST Trackday is on 8th June 2023 at Brands Hatch.

You won’t need to bring anything except yourself and your driving licence. Everything including helmets and snacks will be provided (if you happen to have your own helmet, feel free to bring it).

It’s open to everyone – whether you’ve never been to a racetrack before or have lots of previous experience.

There will be a maximum of 10 spots available on this first day and as this is the first ever BTST Trackday, there will be a £120 Discount!

Keep your eyes peeled for the launch email this week…

All the best,

Adam

Audi TTCR Trackday:

Next Date: TBC

  • Do a trackday with Adam in his current Audi TTCR race car, which he’ll be racing in the new Audi TT Cup series in 2023.

This is the least structured but most in depth track experience of the 3 Options.

More akin to full on coaching than an “experience” day.

This is for the real racing enthusiast who wants more time in the car and to get up to speed more progressively.

You will drive as much as you want and Adam will be on hand to drive and show you what the car can do.

There will be basic catering but this is all about track time and getting faster, so nothing fancy!

Either Adam or a professional Instructor will be available to coach you. So long as the Instructor is happy, you will drive on circuit by yourself.

You also get to sit next to Adam to learn as much as you want.

There is no formal structure. Instead we’ll switch between drivers as you choose.

We can either do one single driver (100% one-on-one), 2 drivers, or 3 drivers.

More than 3 drivers is not advised because this is about getting as much track time as you want, but if you have a group of friends, we can do it.

Cost:
£3500 (single Driver)
£1750 (2 Drivers)
£1166 (3 Drivers)

Everything is provided including helmets and basic catering. You will need to bring your driving licence to the circuit.
