Sorry to be really negative on this one but a word of warning. I took my 360 to a cheap trackday at Bruntingthorpe.
I did one 20 minute session and when I came off the car required a full front end respray.
I have heard from others whoi have been and had a great time without wrecking their pride and joy. So I guess the track condition vary greatly. The day I went was very cold and windy.
I suspect the frost lift the surface a little. I'm no expert - just relating my experiences.
My 'Cheap' £50 track day cost me about £1500 by the time I had put the car right.

Jonathan Palmer moved his trackday operation from Bruntingthorp to a purpose built circuit at Bedford which is brilliant. No gravel traps , huge grass run-off areas , no armco to hit , 3.5 miles of interchangeable circuits , no need for armourfend or resprays every time......
I'll be up for a blast.
See www.rma-limited.co.uk who organise first class track days , including Bedford (www.secure.palmersport.co.uk )
