Two clear ways to support your circuit day

Essential or Full Trackside Support.

Both options meet the same standard of workmanship and safety. The difference is simply the range of checks and mechanical support included — not how we treat your car.

Routine monitoring

Essential Trackside Support

For drivers who only need routine checks during their booked track-day period, without a paddock setup or additional mechanical work.

  • Tyre pressures checked and adjusted between sessions
  • Engine oil level checks
  • Coolant level checks, when safe
  • Single-point tyre tread-depth measurements per tyre before and after the supported period, where measurable
  • Wheel nut/bolt torque checks using the correct specification
  • Simple record of checks and any concerns
Lydden HillHalf day £125 · Full day £195

Not included: brake inspections, wheel removal, mechanical repairs, gazebo, drinks or snacks. Additional parts, fluids and consumables are extra.

Book Lydden Hill supportAsk about Lydden Hill
INCLUDED WITH YOUR TRACKSIDE SUPPORT

Hands-on support. Measured temperatures. Documented condition.

We support your car throughout the booked period; the paddock shelter is one of the facilities, not the service itself.

Temperature and session checks

Brake-disc temperature spot readings after sessions, coolant-system temperature checks, tyre pressures, fluid levels and visible condition monitoring. Findings and measurement methods are recorded.

Brake and tyre wear measurements

Wheel-off checks of accessible disc-brake pads and tyre tread depth before supported driving, plus comparable final measurements where safe. Slicks are checked using suitable wear indicators where available.

Mechanical help, facilities and report

Wheel and fastener checks, wheel-change help, minor adjustments, basic fault finding and a written condition report. We also bring an enclosed shelter where allowed, with hot tea and coffee, soft drinks and snacks included.

The enclosed shelter is subject to circuit approval. Measurements are limited by safe access, time and equipment.

PADDOCK SUPPORT

Keep the routine work organised between sessions.

Afiléon looks after the checks and small paddock jobs that would otherwise distract you from driving, including temperature trends and changes in condition.

Tyre pressures

Pressure checks and adjustments as the day progresses.

Wheels and fluids

Coolant-system temperature and fluid checks, brake-disc temperature spot readings after sessions, and attention to warning signs or changes in behaviour.

Minor issues

Basic fault finding and minor adjustments where the problem can be handled safely with the available tools and time.

OTHER KENT SERVICES

Prepare the car before Lydden Hill.

Mobile pre-track-day inspections are available across Kent, and trailer transport can be quoted for suitable vehicles.

Pre-track-day inspectionVehicle transport
THE AFILÉON TRACKSIDE STANDARD

Inspected before. Temperatures checked between. Recorded afterwards.

Dedicated hands-on paddock support for your own car: wear measurements, brake and coolant temperature checks, tyre and wheel care, small mechanical jobs and a written condition report. A weatherproof shelter, hot tea and coffee, soft drinks and snacks come as standard.

01 / ARRIVAL

Before your first session

Where the car, access, timing and equipment allow: safely raise the car, remove the road wheels and inspect disc condition, pad friction material, calipers and visible hoses. Record accessible inner and outer pad thicknesses by wheel in millimetres. On grooved tyres, use a suitable gauge to record inner, centre and outer tread-depth readings (mm) at each wheel, alongside starting pressures, fluid levels and visible defects. On slicks, record applicable wear-indicator readings instead, if measurable. Drum brakes receive external or inspection-port checks; drums are not routinely removed.

02 / ON TRACK

Between-session checks and temperatures

After track sessions, take safe, consistent brake-disc temperature spot readings and check coolant-system temperatures using available vehicle instrumentation/diagnostics or suitable external measurement, clearly recording the method. External surface temperatures are not direct internal coolant readings, and post-session brake readings are not peak on-track temperatures. We also adjust tyre pressures, inspect wheels and visible conditions, observe fluid levels, carry out practical minor adjustments and investigate straightforward faults. Any fluid top-ups are recorded; consumables are extra with approval. Drivers should promptly report unusual noises, braking changes, impacts and warning lights.

03 / FINAL CHECK

Before you leave

After the last supported session and sufficient brake cooling, repeat accessible wheel-off brake-pad measurements where safely practical. Compare left and right, inner and outer, and pre-/post-session readings. Recheck inner, centre and outer tyre tread depths (or suitable slick wear indicators) at the same measurement locations, and document left/right wear, uneven shoulder wear, any tyre swaps and measurement limitations. Record observations, faults, fluid changes and any recommended follow-up in an end-of-day condition report. Include available brake and coolant-system temperature readings and the measurement method in the end-of-day report.

Included paddock facilities

Heavy-duty enclosed car shelter (roof, walls and door) where the organiser authorises it, safe space is available and weather permits. Complimentary hot tea and coffee, soft drinks and snacks are provided. The shelter is a temporary paddock workspace, not a guaranteed permanent circuit garage.

Optional fuel collection — arranged in advance

Fuel and any related costs are not included in the package price. Where available, we can discuss obtaining suitable fuel using a customer-funded, agreed allowance after cleared funds are confirmed and a safe, compliant collection and refuelling arrangement is approved. We do not take possession of customers' bank cards or automatically charge their booking cards. Ask before booking; this is not a live checkout add-on.

How detailed are the measurements? Pad thickness refers to friction material only (not the backing plate). Tyre tread measurements are taken with a suitable depth gauge at comparable inner, centre and outer points on grooved tyres; slicks may use manufacturer-provided wear indicators, not invented groove depths. We measure comparable, accessible points with suitable tools and report only differences reliably greater than the tool's resolution. If pads, drum linings or tyre measurements cannot be checked reliably, the report states not measured or not inspected as applicable, rather than guessing. A tyre that has been swapped or replaced cannot be directly compared at the old wheel position. Findings are observations at the time, not a safety, roadworthiness or competition-eligibility certificate. The initial inspection must be completed before circuit use; final wheel-off checks require sufficient time within the booked support period. Discuss the detailed before-and-after inspection when booking half-day support. Temperature measurements are condition spot checks only and should be read alongside the car’s own instruments, circumstances and manufacturer guidance; they do not certify safe track use.

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers before you book.

Clear answers based on the service as currently published.

What is included in Lydden Hill track-day support?

Pre-session brake and tyre measurements, brake-disc and coolant-system temperature checks, tyre pressures, wheel and fluid observations, wheel-change help, minor mechanical assistance, practical fault finding and an end-of-day report. The shelter and paddock hospitality (hot tea and coffee, soft drinks and snacks) come with every booking, subject to circuit conditions.

How much is the Lydden Hill support package?

The published price is £355 for a half day or £555 for a full day.

Can I book a pre-track inspection as well?

Yes. Mobile pre-track-day inspections are available separately across Kent, subject to travel and a suitable inspection location.

Can Afiléon Motorsport transport my car to Lydden Hill?

Trailer transport can be quoted separately for suitable vehicles after checking dimensions, ride height, loading practicality and the required route.

What is recorded before and after a track day?

At arrival we record accessible brake-pad friction thickness and tyre tread depth by wheel (inner, centre, outer for grooved tyres). After the last supported session, we repeat comparable measurements when safe, documenting wear by tyre position, any uneven wear, limitations and recommended follow-up. Slick tyres are assessed by suitable wear indicators where available. Temperature spot checks and how they were measured are also logged where readings can be obtained safely.

Do you check brake and coolant temperatures?

Yes. We take brake-disc temperature spot checks after sessions and check coolant-system temperatures using the car’s available instruments or appropriate external methods. We record the method and any limitations: surface temperatures differ from internal coolant temperature, and readings taken after a session are not the same as peak on-track temperatures.

Is a paddock shelter provided?

We bring our heavy-duty enclosed car shelter where the circuit permits its use, a safe location is available and conditions allow. Complimentary hot tea and coffee, soft drinks and snacks are included.

Can you collect extra fuel?

Only by prior agreement. Fuel and related costs are separate, a suitable customer-funded payment arrangement must be confirmed before purchase, and collection depends on safe transport, storage and organiser rules. This is not currently an automatic checkout option.

Car collection and return available

Need your car brought to the circuit as well?

Our Track-Day Support and Transport option includes collection from your chosen address, transport to the circuit, trackside support and return delivery, all coordinated for the same date. Vehicle suitability and transport charges are confirmed by quotation.
