Default took my car to a sprint track

Curborough to be exact did the intro to sprinting day, am going to join the club and have a blast. £17 for the year to join and 3 members only track days a year sounds like a bargain to me

i dont know how long ago you last went but its been resurfaced and was a great day, its a bit more kinder on the car than a track day. Its concentration from the off as everything comes up so quick.

What i mean is the track is very small,and the corners are tight and slow.They have no flow,its all 2nd and 3rd gear corners.Its not a patch on any real circuit like Donnington or Castle Coombe that people from this site would be familar with.Went to Curborough a few years back and was very very disappointed and feel that anyone who has ever driven on a real circuit would feel the same. And just checked on their website and the track layout is exactly as it was when i was last there,so its not as if the track has been changed to lenghten it or add some decent corners.
Not having a dig at you,you enjoyed the day and fair enough,just that I wouldnt recommend it to others for the above reasons.
Regards Micky
