Petrolhead Thursdays at Circuit Zolder

Have you always dreamed of driving your sports car on a real race track? Would you like to learn to drive like a pro? Do you have Super Plus running through your veins? Then the Petrolhead Thursdays at Circuit Zolder in Belgium are the right place for you to improve your driving skills!

The Petrolhead Thursdays ride in small groups and offer a breathtaking soundtrack

At Circuit Zolder, you will experience a day among like-minded people at the Petrolhead Thursdays. Whether professional or beginner, all participants are united by their love of sports cars. If required, the professional Petrolhead instructors will support you in your search for the ideal line and in the hunt for the last tenth of a second.

Neither previous experience nor racing licenses are necessary. You will be divided into one of three groups according to your experience. These small groups give you the maximum experience on the track, without any stress or traffic. The day is accompanied by the soundtrack of the greatest combustion engines the sports car world has to offer. At Circuit Zolder, by the way, there are no noise restrictions!

The right groups for beginners, advanced and experienced trackday enthusiasts

At the Petrolhead Thursdays, you will drive a total of five 20-minute turns. All newcomers and less experienced drivers are picked up in the Warm-Up Basic group. The instructors will show you all the basics you need for safe fun on the racetrack: Eye tracking, braking and steering techniques through to driving completely without electronic assistance systems. In small groups with a maximum of three vehicles behind an instructor, driving is based on the “lead & follow” principle. You will receive tips and support from your instructor throughout the day.

In the Warm-Up Advanced group, you start with three sessions behind the instructor. However, the focus here is directly on refining riding techniques and safe overtaking on the track. You will ride the last two turns without an instructor. This group is particularly suitable for those who already have experience but are still transitioning to the sports group. This sport group is for all those who no longer need any instruction on the track. Here you can enjoy the track on your own in the five 20-minute turns, with a maximum of 25 cars on the track, without any noise limits.
