yep, weve been with trackdaydrivers.com in the 205 a while back, was a good laugh, very short laps but quite tight and technical in places, some of the corners are slighty off camber etc. with a bit of a straight for a bit of point and squirt.
would deffo go again, very cheap fun

Pointless with big laggy turbo cars but for small and nibble cars its a good crack...

Example - My T4 Saph was rubbish (but funny)

yep i go there as often as i can though no been this year due to both my knees needing major surgery at 22!!

i go through trackdaydrivers.com which was set up by a few of my friends on fordtorque.co.uk. great bunch a guys, always up for a laugh and Paul with the fez xr2 (not the vauxhall powered one with white wheels) races it there fairly regularly.

theres a noise limit of 103db iirc (all info to be found on their website) and no drifting allowed but you still get to have a little play.

heres me

fuckers kept egging me on over the radio

its good cheap fun and because you only do a couple of laps you dont over cook your brakes. can be annoying all the waiting to get on track when theres lots of people there but you still get a decent ammount of track time.

would take me 2 hours to get there and 2 hours back and i'd stay for the full day.

any more info required just send me a pm. 8)

Yep, ace place. Cost me a set of rear tyres on my m3 though. That bottom bend is just so tempting.
