Racing Tracks and MX-5s

Post by RoadsterRob » Sun Jun 12, 2022 10:12 pm

Hi guys/girls do any of you get out on a racetrack with your MX-5s for a open track day?
I’m looking at giving it a go and am after advice I’m in Auckland so it will be either Puke or Hampton.
I have never done it but have read up on what I need Helmet, Neck brace, licence, wof and flame proof suit.

My car is a stock-ish NC.
My questions are does the suit have to be of the race type or can I just wear cotton overalls?
Also if anyone had any pointers on where to get this stuff? Some of it looks harder to hire like the foam neck brace thing.
Also I would much appreciate any tips or pointers.

From my very limited research Hampton downs seems way cheaper but they don’t list their track days till you become a member.

Any info appreciated even if it’s from Manfield/Taupo or any tracks in the sth island.
