If you buy a 6 lap ticket not a 5 you can use it any time this year, and sometimes it gets that busy or its closed because of accidents you cant get back on so id always buy a 6 lap tkt Cheers Rob

6 lap one works out a bit dearer though, its 80 euro or more if i recall correctly where as its only 60 for the 5 lap one, so if you buy it early its better to get the 5 lap.

Me and john were getting through a 5 lap one in a about an hour as we were just going out, quid cool down run, swapping drivers, and straight out again!

Still cant believe the old girl took that hammering to be honest.

NOOO!
it's considered by the authorities as public highway, and same legal issues apply as anywhere else regarding timing and "racing", reference liability and insurance issues..

on this subject, I was surprised to see the clock stuck on the dash of Clarkson's Jag when they filmed for top gear ... ??

Not tight just addicted to lapping and therefore never feel the need to buy a pass that lasts till the next day cause i know it will use them all in an hour or two anyway.

The lap pass is only a small portion of the cost per lap really, even just the fuel can easily match the cost of the lap, and then you have wear and tear on brakes etc.

If you are tight, its not the right place to be really!
