I thoroughly enjoyed Silverstone at Ford Fair. Much safer than knockhill for novices IMO, although I've only done acouple of hot hatch days at knockhill. Silverstone was a great track, despite the fact that i got lost on one lap and nearly missed the fact that part of the circuit was coned off and I was meant to turn right.

Cue panic braking , Taking the inside line , understeer , Full opposite lock lift off oversteer and nearly wiping out a white cossie who tried to overtake me just before the corner!
