if time and money is concern, then track day isn't for you,  track day in north america is already cheap compare to hk.   but then, the thing is that we don't have nice tracks in the north west.  Mission, seattle, portland all can't compare to ZIC and Shanghai.   it would nice if we lived in california... Norcal have Sears Point and Socal have laguna seca

plus, training is one time, you can always just do training then wait for the next track day session.

i didn't know how a F1 track is lame.....  

also, if your car isnt very performance tuned, it will be boring on the track.  you'll have to brake early and slowly accelerate.  it will be nothing more then driving on a highway.
