Ive got lost and left the MK5 section :laugh: and found this http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=88350.0
I know sometime ago you guys were looking for a track, well it looks like this could just be what you are after?
-
Fun, but more suited to westies and elises. You can practically spit from one end of the track to the other.
-
Oh well worth a try, never been to the track.
-
That seems good value @ £35 for a full days timed track action!!! We'll be ok with our stickers mate :wink: :grin:
-
Jeeez - aint that a kart track? You'll never get out of first gear! :rolleyes:
Leave that kind of circuit to the Saxo and Corsa kids.
-
....The longer version is 0.8 mile. When I did a Car Limits course, the last 'event' of the day was to race each other against the clock on a coned course, designed to test some of what we had learnt, no longer than that. It was still great fun.
4 of us did the one day course - Each in our own Mk5 GTI's.

I understand what you are saying, RR, but that course in the other thread is really just too small to allow any develoment skills.
A better example would be the Audi Driver Day at Silverstone, where they use the farty little "Stowe" circuit for cones and tight stuff, the straight on the "national" circuit for high speed ABS/ESP techniques, and, depending on weather anyone else is using the circuit, you can use the full grand prix circuit, or the southern loop of the GP circuit - and max out in an RS4 or whatever "RS" they happen to be using. Oh, and professional "German" :wink: instructors, and some of those overly inflated egotistic a.holes like a certain Mr Plato, who is only interested in demonstrating his own skills, rather than coaching others! :rolleyes:

A bit more than £35 then T_T??

A bit more than £35 then T_T??
Maybe, but some get it FOC! :wink:
But yeah, I get where you are coming from - for £35, it is bargin, and even if its just for the criac, then it'll be OK. :smiley:

Im doing the full trackday experience at Silverstone next month including Ferrari's single seaters and the rally school in the Fiesta's etc, and guess what??????? It's free!!!! :laugh:
