The test day price is ridiculous, bet I still get charged £70 for the afternoon even though it's far less than half the track time. Why is it so much as the race entry is quite reasonable considering the high profile-ness of the (just about big enough to be a go-kart) track?

Typical theiving cockneys I suppose, you pay loads extra to live there, you pay to drive through the place, you pay to drive around the place and they serve flat beer. What a crap example of a capital city.


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

As a typical thieving cockney I can let you know we do it to keep the poor northerners out.

Now I have to go and drink champagne paid for by the congestion charge

Lol, I could probably buy a small village up here for the price of your tipple!



btw did you know Cheshire has the highest concentration of millionaires in Britain and any more north and you'd be far too close to Scotland?

And the Emission Zone is to make sure no Northerners with dodgy old Transits bother visiting
