You need get there about half hour to an hour before your time slot, there is a Cafe (not free) that you can have Food and drink at.
You then get called up to register, once registered you then go to the Leathers area where (if you don’t want to use your own gear) you get fitted up with a set of Frank Thomas 1 piece racing leathers, Frank Thomas Boots & Gloves, Back protector if you want one and an Arai Crash Helmet. You also get given an Armband with a Number on it so you can identify yourself in the Photo’s.
Once everyone in your group is kitted up you are taken to the briefing room where you are given a talk on track and pit lane safety including Marshal flags etc, they then talk to you about the Track and tell you the best lines to take and what the cones mean that are out on track.
After the Briefing you are taken to the bikes where they go over the differences between a track bike and a road bike then they pair you off with 2 riders to an Instructor (or 1 to 1 if on the Blades) you then go out with your instructor for a 15 minute sesssion where he can evaluate your riding and see where you can improve and also see what pace you are comfortable with, you then go back into the Pits and have a 15 minute chat where he goes through riding postion, braking points etc he also gets you on the bike and shows you how you can improve your style. He will also find out if the pair are suited and if one is suited to a faster rider he will change the pairing so that you get the biggest benefit from the day.
You then go out for your 2nd 15 minute track session where it is a much faster pace and he tries to push you as hard as he can to get thye most out of you. Again you come into the pits where you go fill the bikes up with fuel and then the whole group gather for a lunch break and discuss what you all find about the Bikes/Track and help each other with questions etc.
After Lunch you go out for your 3rd 15 Minute session where it is all out, he wants to see you put verything you have learnt into the last session and see the improvements you made.
After the final session you get changed and meet in the debrief room where they give you a talk on Tyre technology and stuff like that, they then award the top 3 most improved riders with trophies, you all get cirtificates and vouchers for money off etc.
Although its only 3 x 15 minute sessions it is plenty of track time as it gets very tiring and i was shattered by the time i came off, not sure i wouldve enjoyed a 4th session as much as the first 3.
All in all it is worth every penny and definately worth doing if you are considering doing a track day as you learn so much more about track riding before risking your own bike on a track.
