I'm going with Club GTi in Aug/Setp. They do a great trip with about 50/70 cars from the Audi and Seat forums  :evil:

Best advice to all those who've not been before is simply to make sure your car is fit (tyres and brakes especially), rein in your enthusiasm, go carefully and try and get a passenger lap prior to taking your own car out.  Mostly don't be a hero.  I've seen so many binned UK cars in the few trips I've made there - it's a LONG track and will wear you out easily - it only takes a moment's concentration loss to bin it.  :cry:

personal fitness is suprisingly quite important i would have thought, make sure your feeling fit, and had pleanty of sleep etc before you do anything like this, i certainly would be making regualy trips to the gym like i do now.
