What better way at the end of the year to say "Thank you" to a long suffering Wife, Girlfriend and raceday helpers than to strap them into the passenger seat and show them why you do it?
We tried a track day last year as a means to getting some "no-pressure" seat time and had an absolute riot, as did our pasengers.
Do they produce new racing drivers? Everyone I met on the day I attended said no, they just wanted to drive fast for a few hours, and weren't fussed about being competitive.
As far as a breeding ground goes, I felt the only benefit I found was having a lot of time to learn a track thoroughly, with the opportunity to take another driver out to tell you where you can make up some time. It doesn't teach you how to race - theres only one way to learn that as far as I'm concerned.
