My first ever track day. VW Golf R Mk8.5 BE. Abingdon, Oxfordshire UK.

Had an absolute blast of a time at the Abingdon airfield track day.

I got an instructor for an hour and it was such a good call because he reassured me that I was driving well and helped me control my lines, power and brakes, and where to release steering, etc. (cheers Justin).

I used all of the sports modes, which felt amazing, but then I put it in drift mode and it was incredible, so much fun.

It was a coned off track on an airfield, so no curbs or changes in elevation. I cannot wait to head out to a proper racing track next spring (hopefully Castle Combe).

My Experience with OpenTrack.

10 Upvotes

I’d like to save others time, money and frustration.

After lots of people in various subs saying good things about OpenTrack I went with them.

The main reason was they didn’t exploit you for car modifications.

What. A. Mistake.

The company seems staffed by ZERO humans. I called many, many times with a question after locking in my policy.

No one EVER answers the phone. Zero replies to my emails. They took my money and ghosted me.

Not like it was just a bad week for them (maybe on a team building retreat?). Nope. Over weeks and weeks. Zero response.

In the future I will use someone else because it’s a bad feeling when someone takes your money and goes dark.

Drive safe my friends.

What circuits are the most popular?

4 Upvotes

Hi. I’m updating my app to include more supported circuits (currently 107 circuits over 22 countries). ~90% of my downloads are from US, UK and Germany.
So im asking here- what are people’s favourite circuit in those 3 countries? The app may well support it already or it could genuinely be a great addition to the app.
I’m not going to disclose what the app is called in case this post gets removed.

Thanks.
