    • “Track usage” means how a racing circuit is used and what activities take place on it. A ~$20,000 budget usually covers limited-time access, small events, or shared rentals, not full ownership.

      1. Track Days (Most Common Use)

    • Private drivers bring their own cars to drive at speed in a controlled environment.

      What the budget covers (~$20K):

      • Group track day packages
      • Multiple sessions across 1–3 days
      • Instructor support
      • Safety marshals & medical crew

      Purpose:

      • Performance driving practice
      • Skill development
      • Testing car limits safely

      Tracks function as controlled environments where drivers follow optimal racing lines and braking zones to complete laps efficiently
