Tracks days are ON (and bucket list circuits booked)
Gutted I have not managed to do more TDs recently but some bug has shut down life for 12 months. Still I am glad none of my family or friends have
suffered, and I hope the LCB community has also faired well.
So, news of trackdays hopefully being on I have booked up 3 so far. All new tracks to me, and one very special one.
Anglesey - 17th April
Brands Hatch GP - 3rd September
Oulton Park - 20th November
Anglesey is a gorgeous track I have always wanted to drive, chances of it being dry are 0%!
Brands hatch is my local and I have never done GP because it's probably the most expensive 1 day circuit in Europe. My bucket list circuit, I am
probably going to cry on the sighting lap!
Oulton Park looks like a bonkers fun circuit so I am well excited to go here.
Anyone else been on a shopping spree? If people want to book up and come along for a socially distanced friendly face day then do so.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Good job you are doing Anglesey before Oulton, as IMO Anglesey is a let down after doing Oulton park!
Stunning scenery out over the sea,but feels like you are on a big karting track rather than a race track,surface is nowhere near as good as oulton
park.

Don't they call Cadwell "the mini-Nurburgring"? I was planning to go up there to spectate, before COVID unfolded....
They sure do. MSV are currently selling tickets for our event so hopefully we might get some spectactors. We did at Oulton last year but sadly Donny
in Dec was closed to public.

Oulton is a great track and at the latter end of Nov can be extra interesting. It gets quite green under the trees around Druids (like it isn't
tricky enough there ). I've had some really good weather there in Nov as well so don't panic.

Who are you booked with?
I have worse weather on summer / spring trackdays than November days. Obviously it's just luck of the draw regarding rain. The time of year
dictates daylight hours and Ambient temperature though. November is often mild, pushing my luck a bit at the end of the month though.
Javlin for Oulton, the other 2 are trackdays.co.uk.

Average speed and track width must be twice that of Cadwell.
Hmmm I wonder what they can possibly mean by adding Mini. lol
I was thinking that as I typed it!! Considering the length of 1 ring lap you would have been excused to think it was related to length of a lap more
than how fast flowing the ring is or how narrow Cadwell is.

You're right about the length of the days in Nov. This was a few years ago on the last few laps of a day at Oulton. The low Sun made commitment
an issue at some areas...
I’m booked for Cadwell, Blyton and Croft.
I’ve been to Cadwell park many times as a spectator but never been around the circuit. I’ve been to Blyton a couple of times and also Croft, which is
on my doorstep.
After spectating at Croft dozens of times, I had no idea just what a good circuit this is to drive.
