What circuits would we all like to race at?
 

If we had a pick of all the uk tracks where would you like to go the most?

Isle of Man, to be able to say "I did it" when I will go back in France :D

UK, Thruxton.... no straights, all bends

Europe, Monza, Imola and Mugello.... the straights mainly.

USA Laguna, cork screw looks mad

Would like to see these 4 on the list...

Oulton Park
Brands GP
Donington National
Cadwell GP

...don't mind about the rest :)

I'd add the Silverstone GP track to these, and that would do me.

I know it's not that popular but there's LOTS of overtaking places!

Oh and Weeksy, we're not being realistic! That's the point, we're just talking about circuits we'd like to race in!

That was the question though Steve :lol:

No-one said you were! Talk about a MAJOR over-reaction. Duck, dummy coming through!

You missed the point of the thread, I was just pointing it out. We were talking about which tracks we'd like to race on, not which ones were economicaly feasible.

You're hanging on far too tight mate! Let goooooooo ....

Domski, we get to race Donny National and Cadwell GP (I'm assuming when it says full circuit it's the same as the GP?) so they will be very cool. Lots of overtaking places on those and some nice fast sections - I can't wait for those!

:D

Is the National the one with the Melbourne Loop in it ?

Nup, that's the GP circuit. I haven't done either but the national seems to be everyones favourite.

I personally wouldn't mind doing the GP because the Melbourne Loop is another passing opportunity on the brakes.

:D

I didn't like the loop bit - Mind you I had new tyres and it was hissing down - The rest of the circuit was nice though :)

...and another opportunity for brake failure :lol: (I have experience of that too - shouldn't have said that, doh!)

:lol:

brands gp or (rather controversially) rockingham intl.

Pembrey
Castle Combe
Thruxton
Donington National
Cadwell GP
Oulton Full cct

Maybe Mondello

and a time trial around the TT course

Oulton
Donington
Cadwell full
Knockhill
Aintree

Aintree?:o

Aintree - would love to ride that track again (but i'm thinking one horsepower, on 4 legs, round the Mildmay course:P:lol: )

C, sorry, will go for lunch now:(

Exactly what I was thinking :lol:

Other than the ones we're doing, for me it'd be great to do Oulton and Brands GP.

Just sooooooooo fast and the kinda circuits where you always feel that you can take every bend a few mph faster, even though you've just been through there the fastest you've ever been!!!!!

Sweeeeeeeet!!!

Surprised you've never been Steve, been quite a bit over the last few years, proper club racing :D It actually looks like quite a good little circuit, the last corner onto the start finish straight is a bit like a mini gerrards, always the odd highside out of there!

But amen to your last comment, Angels in L'Pool..... Ah the memories ;)

I can assure you that it is possible to go through those bends a few mph faster than you've ever been through them :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Oulton

Ouch - you biatch !!!!

Remember - he who laughs last - thinks slowest ;)

Tim

At Aintree they use the road that you see the TV crew etc on at the Grand National, but only the part over the Malling Road. It's very flat but a good track to ride. There is a full length circuit that's not used now that was used for the the British F1 GP in the fifties.


I feel a Saturday ride out coming on:)

Sorry Tim, I couldn't resist ;)

Could be a plan Steve, £5 to get in, grab a bag of chips and an ice cream :)

I know a few guys who race classics up there, need to find some dates!

Brands GP , got that booked with Apex in a couple of months, done the Indy loads, but the full GP circuit worries me.:puzzled:

Laguna Seca for the cork screew.

and

Macau for the Madness, Armco`s and walls everywhere.:o

lydden hill lovely paddock and facilities:D

There is racing there this weekend if anyone fancies it?
