I've done plenty Zwartkops traxx days in my life and it's really gone south - the marshals are quick to tell you that you're not allowed to pass around corners, let faster cars pass, etc and they'll send your details to the insurance companies if you crash, but then they can't or won't enforce any of the rules which means you end up with spikley haired punks in their citi golfs and corsas trying to out brake and out corner you when they clearly don't have enough skill or car for it.

Skid pan - much safer and better controlled.
Ja, I agree. I was a guest of Nissan once at zerotech and we did track and skidpan. Fantastic racing. All well behaved, except me in my diesel. Beat them on the handling circuit with my torque and my DSG box. Used their 350 on the skidpan. Needless to say, I was never invited back.
