hi, just wondered if anyone had driven Lydden http://www.lyddenracecircuit.co.uk/home.htm

Any good as £120 per day it looks quite fun

Nope but it looks a mad place

been down there to watch a sprint meeting. def a club circuit, people seemed friendly enough at the meeting I went to. Quite a short lap, so should be relatively easy to pick up the circuit quickly and have some fun - the hill is deceptively steep though!

Used to go quite regularly about 20 years ago to watch rallycross.

Last went about 10 years ago for same but it (the racing) wasn't the mad cars I remember.

I like the circuit though.

Did a bike day there last year, great fun and very relaxed.

The circuit is brands short circuit in reverse on a steep hill, 1 mile long, I could hit a ton on my bike down the straight and some nice banked bends.

If you fall off it will probally hurt more than your pride as not a lot of run off, facilities is burger van and toilet... no more !

When mines done it will be my first place to try out.

Regards Mark

I have raced there. Comparable to the indy circuit at brands, but with shorter straights. Watch out for the devils elbow before the climb up to the hairpin. You can get carried away here! Also watch the right hander at the bottom of the hill as the run off is a large earth bank. My mate kindly killed my hillman imp there!

Raced gearbox karts there a few times, bit like a reverse Brands, not much run off before you hit the bank!!, and a bit bumpy , but good fun.
