I would imagine so we went on Thursday night and drove straight in no problem.

....There was a DD bike there yesterday (Class B) but didn't recognise them.

Track wise, some bits are fairly easy and plenty of run off, but the top section into the corkscrew is going to be interesting, downhill blind entry/exit one in one out kind of thing

I raced there last year and that's actually a great place for overtaking if you position yourself correctly. Either up the inside into the corkscrew right hander, or again up the inside of the left at the bottom of the hill, entering the front straight, if you take the corkscrew the long way around.

ps Lily.....

Looks & sounds great - wanted to go since I saw the track layout in MCN

How about a 2 day DSC trackday at Anglesey in 2010 not Cadwell.....(too far from Hove...:-))

ps - Lily - tried the race discs I bought off you for the first time at Brands yesterday & they are fantastic, much better than std
