Our Silverstone GP day on 21st March is with Focused Events so i will give u some feedback on them after.

All i can say so far is i booked and received an email stating that they would confirm the booking in 3 working days......5 days later i had to contact them as they never bothered and then tried to make out they did but got my email address wrong....so not a good start. I know the http://www.gixerjunkies.com site slate them as well

i hate them with a passion, ran by a fat big ego'd twat and instructors who've got their head so far up their own arse theres no point in using them
last time i used them was silverstone gp and there was 90bikes to a group !!! by the time the first guy had done his outlap the end of the group were still making their way out of pit lane into the faster traffic,absolute chaos.
would rather not do the trackday than do a focused day myself

thanks for trying to put a downer on what we hope will be a nice day. Remind me to do it for you someday. If they turn out to be bad then so be it, we all learn from experience. If you can't make it please don't try to spoil it for up that can. Thankyou. :-) :-) :-)

fully appreciate that, but don't forget that some are doing this for the first time, its a shame that focused seem to have a bad rep, hope our experience is against the norm

you wont know until you do one :wink:


It's just a lot of money and going on reputation and rumours 8) 8) 8)

I've done Donington 3 times now and always come away with a huge smile but they were always done through Donington's trackdays so i never look at anyone else's for trackdays at this circuit :D
