I went on my first track day at Bedford Autodrome.

Plus points:

It's all on a big flat airfield site, with plenty of runoff if you cock it up.

It's got some straights where you can give it full welly.

No really nasty bends (for beginners)

Minus points (for me):

The circuit laid out when I went there was the long one, c. 4 miles, so by the time you got round to a given bend, you might have forgotten how to approach it.

It did get a bit boring, but it was good practice to get used to the car and because it was laid out in a long circuit there was never any major problem with cars bunching up.

Its a really low noise site carefully monitored, I doubt if your R1 engined beast will get in unless you have a restrictive can and baffle the inlet tracts...
