I did an open pitlane day there about 3 years ago in my S2, quite a few of the corners are dodgy lol, little run off in places, especially on the back of the circuit, as it comes uphill (under the yokohama bridge), then under the trees for a right hander, it was damp and greasy up there, very tricky when your on it! Its a lovely track though, it flows quite well, you can carry a lot of speed through most of the corners.

the day is ran by circuit days who did the day that i went to last friday the 19th dec, you can book direct with them, they never charge extra for more drivers or passengers, tuition is available as wel!

the day we went to was very well run, with lots of nice cars!


WATCH druids, very very greasy, had a few people go off there!

in general the whole track is quite tricky, but an excellent track tho!

Yes you can easily got to cascades, lodge, hizzys and pretty much anywhere bar druids and shell oils which is the hair pin at the far end

you will love it-its a good circuit.
just watch druids-its always slippery in the mornings and if it stays cold it will be slippery all day.

you will know which corner im on about as it will probably have a bentley stuck in the gravel!

was really pissed off about donnington on 29th being cancelled but now im all giddy again!
