What does “open pit lane format” mean and how many laps can I do on a day?
Most trackdays operate in sessions where participants are divided into small groups and each group has a session for about 20 minutes. In this way – you may only be out on track for 20 minutes in every hour and you are always on track with the same cars. However Renaultsport trackdays always operate in an open pit lane. With an open pit lane format, it means that you can go out on the track whenever you like and for as long as you like. Depending on the number of participants on the day, the number of cars allowed on the track at any one time is restricted to a manageable amount so that each driver has adequate space between him / her and the next car. This format means that no one feels under pressure and it is therefore less tiring for the drivers. For a full track day, time on the track normally runs from 9am to 5pm with an hour break for lunch which means that you will definitely have as much time as you like out on the track.
