Have you done a track day and was it worth it?

Depends where your level of skill is at. Personally I would recommend buying a good simulator such as assetto corsa, pCars, (hell even GT6 in simulator mode) and a steering wheel and practice driving road cars virtually. This might sound stupid but it gets you used to braking points, corner apexs, driving on the limit etc.

I did this and the transition to real life track days was fairly simple.

The only problem with tuition is that it costs about 500 for a days tuition. Try to find someone who races at the track and ask them to come as passenger and get them to give you pointers.

BTW you will enjoy them but the only thing you will get out of them is a lighter wallet due to track prepping your car, tuition, buying timing gadgets and paying for repairs.

And like any skill, if you don't drive on a track monthly, you lose the ability quickly but you retain the knowledge.

I don't regret my track days, but 1000s has been spent for the experience haha.
