Then that would be Silverstone.  Are you willing to sell a kidney to fund the hire of said circuit?  :tongue:  :grin:

Cadwell would be OK, but it is very narrow, with naff all run off in certain areas!

What will the track surface be like in November though, because Cadwell has some tree cover, and they also run rally cross too, which can drag tons of mud onto the black stuff.

That is true. I went in Feb and on a couple of the corners it never dried out so was rather scary with the barrier being so close! Couple of Evo's had tank slappers causing major damage.

Just checking really as MSV has offered another forum an exclusive day and they're trying to make up numbers. Trying to keep it all VAG based at the mo. £110 is the price.

Hmmm.  I'm not willing to take my RS on a pretty dangerous circuit  :sad: - so I'll step back from any "winter" track day there.

Just checking really as MSV has offered another forum an exclusive day and they're trying to make up numbers. Trying to keep it all VAG based at the mo. £110 is the price.

And MSV, who also own Bedford Autodrome, are also £110 for a full day with open pit lane.  I'd personally rather go to Bedford, and enjoy the tremendous safety, rather than prang it from a very minor driving error at Cadwell.  :angry:

Anyway, wasn't this thread orginated from orgainsing at Bedford - which will be considerably easier for the southerners to get to?  :huh:
