I have recieved an email from a guy on the quattroforum who said he heard that this track day has been cancelled? is this true?

I havent seen or heard of any evidence to suggest this.Its a long way for us to find the gates closed and a sorry chit hanging up!!

Yes, the novice session is for beginners, people will be going slower and trying to get used to track driving. Everything happens fast at first and its nice to have someone alongside you watching the mirrors and giving a bit of advice.

The faster sessions are just that and there is an expectation that everyone knows the score a little more.
