track side and online there are normally a willing group of sponsered drivers who will pass on as much info as is required and not charge a penny for it. having organised team test days it is a difficult thing to do as normally the people who need the info are at either end of the country so one way or the other it will involve loads of miles for people to travel. having said this organised test days are a very easy way for drivers to meet a team and get to know them. the info that is passed on (either setup or driving wise)to the helped is normally well recieved and the positive press on the company that organises it is always good, people find it easier to aproach a team member trackside if they have had the oportunity to meet them before hand.
an organised test day would have to be paid for but not to the team just to the club to help promote the sport id agree with an earlier post saying £10 per head. i for one would find it hard to charge for knowledge that was given to me for free by the top boys who were about when i was a beginner
