Default I may join you guys as well just to watch

The question of buying track time, well I'll need to think about that.

Apex is organizing this right? I remember the day that it rained like mad near the end of the season last year, the organizer mentionend of a discount for those who were out that day.... hmmmm. I didn't pay in full but I know others like Ash and Alon were out there that day and wasn't really having a lot of fun dealing with all the standing water.

Default That's crazy expensive! Especially for the Fabi circuit!

Full or pro track configurations are the only ones worth doing at Shannonville, and $400? WTF, do they provide the race cars for that price?

There will be better options for Shannonville bookings, last time I think I paid $100 or $150 for the full day full/pro track (switched configurations at 1pm)

Default It's not my event but I have to disagree...

They include in car instructors for anyone who wants them (that is worth a lot right there), classroom sessions, skidpad, 0-60 runs (I think), lunch and passenger seat time for everyone in the Porsche race car with a professional driver (Jeff Papbst) at the wheel.

Safety is their #1 concern. I have been to cheaper events, but didn't get as much track time and it wasn't organized as well.

Also, we will be running with mainly fellow Audi, Porsche, VW guys. Not Hondas and Mazdas... for some that doesn't matter but for me it does.

Default Hm, so not really a plain track day then

How much in-car instruction is available? Why are they only using Fabi? It's so boring

Default I was there last fall and found it far far from boring. You can have an instructor...

on every lap if you wish.

Most people go solo after lunch though.

Fabi is fun and safe for novice/intermediate level drivers. You can learn it quickly and get your confidence up before going full track.
