Much to be enjoyed from a day out with the lads at Bedford, and plenty of opportunity to explore skills without Rainbird barriers to worry about!
The ring feels like much more of a challenge to me, its the fact that even after 100 or more laps (ie 20-30 hours driving it) you still dont REALLY know it fully, where as you know in detail exactly what every corner at castle coombe does within 15 minutes of getting out on the track.
I still enjoy uk track days, but its a totally different experience IMHO and I enjoy them for different reasons.
Id compare it to the difference between a quick one night stand, and a meaningful relationship, you cant have a meaningful relationship with donnington, it doesnt have enough depth and variation in its personality.
