Guide
What does a track day cost?
The honest answer with real prices: what the ticket costs, what is already included, which extras come on top and how to make the day cheaper. Written by the people who run these events.
The short answer
A driver ticket with us starts at 749 € depending on circuit and date. That is the final price from the booking page, including VAT, with nothing added at the track.
We deliberately quote our own prices here, not "typical ranges". What a track day costs elsewhere depends so heavily on circuit, format and inclusions that any blanket figure confuses more than it helps. Further down you will find how to compare offers properly.
Driver ticket · from 749 €incl. 1 passenger
Additional driver, same car · from 99 €share the car, share the cost
Passenger / spectator · from 49 €experience the day up close
Race taxi ride · from 149 €next to a pro, no car needed
All prices per date are on the booking page before you enter anything. No sign-up needed, no "price on request".
What the ticket includes
A ticket price is only comparable once it is clear what it covers. At our events the driver ticket includes:
Open pit all dayno groups, no fixed sessions, you drive when you want
Instructorsthere all day, ride-alongs at no extra charge
1 passengeralready included with the driver ticket
Cateringfood and drinks at the track, depending on the date
Photos & videosshots of the day, no extra charge
Max. 50 carslimited field for clear laps
Not in the ticket: fuel, travel, accommodation, helmet and the wear on your car. That is the case with every organiser, it is just rarely said out loud. Which is why it is written here.
The extra costs, in real numbers
The total for a track day is the ticket plus four items that depend heavily on your car. The ranges below are honest rules of thumb from practice, not quotes: a hot hatch like a GTI sits at the lower end, a GT car on semi-slicks at the upper end, and your car may fall outside either way.
Fuel · roughly €80 to €250 a dayOn track you burn two to three times what you use on the road. A hot hatch often gets through an open pit day on 50 to 80 litres, a thirsty sports car can easily double that.
Tyres · roughly €100 to €400 per dayA set of sports tyres costs about €600 to €1,200 (hot hatch), €1,000 to €2,000 (sports car) or €1,500 to €3,000 (semi-slicks for a GT car) and lasts roughly three to six track days at a brisk pace.
Brakes · roughly €50 to €300 per dayStandard front pads (€150 to €300) can be due after two to four hard track days, sport pads (€300 to €600) last longer and stay consistent. Discs are needed less often but cost more when they are.
Travel & hotel · €0 to about €150 a nightWith an early gate time, the night before is worth it. Simple hotels near the circuits mostly run €80 to €150.
Track day insurance · roughly €150 to €500 per dayMany motor policies exclude circuits. Specialist single-day policies cost roughly €150 to €500 depending on car value and excess. Get your own policy position in writing before booking.
Bottom line, as a rule of thumb: With ticket, fuel, wear allowance and travel, a driver in a hot hatch usually lands somewhere between roughly €1,000 and €1,500 for the day. In a sports car or GT car with semi-slicks and insurance more like €1,500 to €2,500, open-ended upwards. The only fixed item is the ticket, everything else you control through your car and your driving.
The guide "Your first track day" has a dedicated section on the insurance question, including specialist track day insurance.
How to compare prices
Two track days at the same price can be completely different days. Four questions make the difference:
How much track time?open pit all day or three fixed 20-minute sessions? This is the single biggest price factor.
How many cars?the smaller the field, the more clear laps you get for your money
Which circuit?circuit rental is the organiser's biggest cost, a grand prix circuit costs more than a practice facility
What is really included?instructor, photos, catering, passenger: included or extra?
If in doubt, convert to price per hour of track time. A cheap day with one hour of driving is more expensive than an open pit day where you drive as much as you like.
How to do it for less
You do not have to start with the full driver ticket. Three honest ways to start smaller:
Share a car. An additional driver on the same car pays 99 €. You share fuel and wear, and the car gets a rest while the other one drives.
Ride first, drive later. In the race taxi from 149 € you experience the circuit next to an experienced driver, with no car of your own and no risk to your material. The sharper option in the 992 GT3 RS is 249 €.
Join as a passenger. For 49 € you spend the whole day in the paddock, see everything up close and ride along. Many people book their own driving day only after a day like this.
Your budget in one minute
This is how to budget your day realistically, with no nasty surprises:
1 · Ticketfixed price from the booking page, from 749 € as a driver
2 · Travelmileage, tolls, possibly a hotel the night before
3 · Fuel for the trackplan generously, better one fill-up too many
4 · Reserve for the carkeep an eye on tyres and pads, check before and after the day
You know item 1 to the cent. Items 2 and 3 you can estimate well for yourself. And item 4 mostly depends on how honest you are about the condition of your car before you come.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Speed Factory track day cost?
A driver ticket starts at 749 € depending on circuit and date. One passenger is already included, plus open pit all day, instructors, catering and photos and videos of the day. Exact prices are listed with each date on the booking page.
Do instructors cost extra?
Not with us. Instructors are there all day and included in the ticket price. With other organisers this is exactly the thing to check: what does the day really cost once instructor, photos or catering are added separately?
What does it cost to join as a passenger or spectator?
A passenger and spectator ticket costs 49 €. One passenger is even included with every driver ticket. It is the cheapest way to experience a track day up close before driving yourself.
Can I share a car with someone?
Yes. A second driver on the same car pays 99 € as an additional driver. You share the car, fuel and wear, and the day costs considerably less per person.
Are there hidden costs?
Not in the ticket itself, the price on the booking page is the final price including VAT. What you should honestly budget for are your own extras: fuel, travel, possibly a hotel night and wear on your car.
What does a track day cost all in?
As a rough practical guide: with ticket, fuel, wear allowance and travel, a driver in a hot hatch usually spends between roughly €1,000 and €1,500 per day, in a sports car or GT car with semi-slicks and track day insurance more like €1,500 to €2,500. Only the ticket is fixed, the rest you control through your car and your driving.
Why do track day prices differ so much?
The biggest levers are circuit rental, number of participants, format and what is included. A grand prix circuit costs more to rent than a small course, fewer cars mean more free track per ticket, and open pit all day is a different thing from three fixed 20-minute sessions. So never compare price alone, always compare track time and what is included.
Is a race taxi cheaper than driving yourself?
By far. A race taxi ride starts at 149 €. You sit next to an experienced driver, need no car of your own, no helmet, and wear and insurance are not your problem. For many people it is the best first contact with a race track.
