Went there last year - my one and only track day so far. Boo Hoo
It's nice and has a good mix of corners as mentioned.
Pointers - well I've nothing to compare it to I'm afraid - but a few general comments:
You'll use a lot more fuel than normal - there is a filling station in town but be aware you can only easily get in or out at lunchtime as the paddock is in the middle.
Don't forget to slow down when you leave! and there's a speed camera on the main road in town.
The way onto the track is not thro' the pits it's at the far end of the paddock (or at least it was)- don't ask me how I know!!!
Don't try to race anyone, at first you'll probably be very slow - it's very different from the road and most of the clues you use are missing - hedges, signs, lamposts etc.
Someone WILL fall off, try not to let it be you (warm up your tyres!) - and don't run over them when they do!
Don't get too close to other bikes - I almost followed someone off thro being 'sucked in' on a dodgy line.
I found it odd - sometimes you're in the middle of a group of bikes - sometimes totally on your own, like everyones left.
You'll get tired - it's very intense.
Watch out for the flags - they get really ****ed off when you don't stop at the end of the session!
Above all it's brilliant fun and I learnt soooo much - it's also very addictive.
