    The days at Llandow are usually sub £100.

    Just had a look and yeah £80.

    http://www.llandow.com/

    Great track as well, the cafe isn't bad either.

    MSE (motorsport events) do airfield trackdays, used to be £80 back in the day, just checking the website now and they are more like £120 but they where always well run days with plenty of 'track' time.

    Llandow is addictive, years ago I did 230miles round there in one day, you would think you would get bored but it never seems to happen.

    Have you had a look into Bedford Autodrome? Not sure how expensive they are, but dont think it will be silly...

    I plan to try this one out at some point this year (when car actually works lol)

    Abingdon is quite reasonable price wise IIRC. Sub £100 is a bit of a rarity these days...

    Blyton has days for about £100, raf wittering is usually around that price

    Days that cheap will be boring airfields generally

    Probably not near most people posting here
    Knockhill £60-£100 open pitlane through trackscotland.co.uk

    On a related note
    Who are people booking Spa through?
    I wanna go in August, possible Sept but can't seem find open pitlane days.
    Found a couple for reasonable prices but they are fully booked

    Anything after October/November through to March seems to count as "off-season"

    Lucky to get a day at Bedford for less than £170 this time of year though.

    Most of the airfields will have days around the 80-120 mark. There are very few proper circuits which offer that sort of price with the exception maybe of Mallory.

    Abingdon and the MSE trackdays will often be sub-100 if you book really early, or really late when they are trying to fill empty slots up...

    Abingdon's a fun track and well worth the money

    A lot of the airfield tracks will wear out a set of tyres in a day.

    This. There are November and December days for Bedford GT for £119 and £129. If it doesn't get booked up they regularly drop the price to around £99 a day or so before. We've been in October and December before and although cold, it's a good day. Air temps are F/I friendly and noise limits are usually good (101dba static). For a well set up 200, Bedford GT is superb.

    RAF Wittering near Peterborogh is usually inexpensive too, £99 at the moment for August. Maintained airfield, not a tyre killer so I've heard.
