When you thinking?

Santa pod may be your option as they always do RWYB!

Do not....I REPEAT...do not go to RWYB.
Lucky if you get 4 runs on the day.
Go in the week to optimise and adjust settings to get the best time,.

You need to go on a tuner day. Costs about £50 but you get unlimited runs (there will only be about 50 cars there anyway) and you can fine tune/practise your launches and car set up.

There will also be lots of racing teams there test cars - with stupidly quick cars.

Track wise, check the usual companies for trackdays, I would suggest an airfield test/trackday as they are often cheaper.
