.... ayone driven there? whats it like? it looks quite fast from what ive seen on youtube etc.

im doing the evening session on 4th sept. anyone else?

This is where i'm intending to do my first track day. From what i've read, it has big run-offs and no armco, but as you say is quite fast and VERY harsh on brakes, so the run-offs and lack of armco may come in useful!

They're also strict as hell on noise limits there.

shouldnt be a problem

is that your mk1? looks pretty f**king quick!

which circuit layout is that?

[Hypermonkey]

Yep it's a Mk1

layout is the full GT?? circuit with the new hairpins at the bottom end...and they are quite tight

[VeeDubGTI16v]

ok, i think im doing the south west circuit, which misses out all the tight hairpins

do they have pit garages there that you can use?

[Hypermonkey]

There are garages there but might be worth phoneing first to reserve. Failing that you can leave your bits and bobs outside of them if they are not in use that day.
Just another thought. be carefull with noise there as they are now very strict and if you have a noisey 'zorst or loud induction it could see your day cut short.
