Really enjoyed the Pics and Videos Fellas :) although some moves being done by other drivers made me very nervous as this was a mix of experienced, intermediate and Beginner Drivers
I got a suggestion,
Here is what we do in the U.S. for open Club track days at Willow Springs or Buttonwillow Raceway.
1. We group the Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced Drivers
2. on the 1st session of the day for the Beginners we pair them up with Advanced Drivers who...
a. drive and instruct while beginner rides shotgun
b. then let the beginner drive while they instruct them
c. Beginner can not run at the track unless he/she gets the OK/thumbs up from the Advanced driver to be able to handle himself and the car on the track driving solo
3. So we Have 3 Run Groups based on Beginners, Intermediates (people who have had at least 5 track days) and ADvanced Drivers (semi pro and pro drivers with either a competition license or who have attended and passed HPDE classes for competition)
4. Sessions are 20 or 30 Minutes per Session at 5 Sessions for each run Group per Day.
5. anyone who gets black flagged or ignores ...example a Caution Flag Yellow will get called back in the pits and get a nice talk with the track Officials
Beginners:
a. can only pass when signalled by a hand signal/wave from the driver being passed (Gentleman's race) Driver must admit that the car behind him/her is too fast and will need to give in to a pass
b. can only pass on straightaways
c. driver being passed must move to his left
d. Faster driver can only pass to the right
Just my 2 cents Gentlemen - hope this will contribute towards a SAFER track day for all you guys.

That's what HPC (High Performance Challenge) do for their events.
But lately they've stop having events for 2009.
HPC events are good, but offer very little track time.
