Playdays give everyone the opportunity to bring their car to the track, be it a modified Subaru, the latest model Porsche or your daily drive. Here, you can test it to its limits in a safe and controlled environment while sharing experiences with other like-minded car enthusiasts. Playday is an easy way for car and motorsport professionals or novices to have a go. It is also the perfect opportunity for those already in Motorsport to test their race car or fine-tune their driving technique before an event.
