Be careful out there.. Cadwell bites back,
well suited too BECS, plenty of late braking twisty on/off camber steep uphill downhill hilly hairpin thingies with a few short straight thingies in
between.....
Have fun, jealous of chesterfield.

Nice description of the track there jon.
And yes I know cadwell can bite seen many a car going in.
Think I will be taking things a little steady to start, especially down the woodland section at this time of year.
Tony.

IMHO Cadwell as everything you want in a track, apart from the run off as mentioned, the "woodland" section will be slippy and the top of
the mountain loves half shafts..........

That M3 sounds sweet,nice bit of driving too,timed his lap at 1.46 seconds,how does that compare with RGB's Jon.

that track looks lethal  hope i get my pedals sorted in time, at rockingham i was having trouble avoiding the accelerator when braking, i ended up a
long way onto the green at one point! (like 75 yard overshoot on the hairpin!)

Cadwell is the best. I did my first track day in my Westfield there. Not really the place to learn how your car handles, but I had a lot of fun
trying. Just didn't have the courage to take the first bend flat out. But it's a 5 hour drive up to the track for me. A bit much in the
winter! Whoever goes will have an outstanding time. Guranteed! (I'm very jelous.)

Yes,may not sound alot 9 seconds,but on track that would mean a RGB would have made the lenght of the start finish straight in the 1st lap,against a
50 grand M3 CSL  will be interesting to see what sort of times,we mere mortals can do,not that you are allowed to time your runs on track days,but
we are allowed,video camera's

Cadwell is brill.
Watch your step as has already been pointed out on this thread but dont be daunted by it.
Take your time and build up your speed, usually half way round the first lap for me.
You'll soon be taking coppice FLAT. I've seen it done but i've not had the bottle to do it. I always try but the survival instinct
always calls for a lift how ever slight it might be.
Enjoy
Wish i could come but our lass is ready to drop this weekend so i think i'd be in the dog house if i buggered off and left her with the new baby

lifting.

Only ever done the "short" circuit at Cadwell and that was on bikes.
Thoroughly enjoyed it - even though it was 15 years ago
