I emailed them to find out more about the circuit and received this back (I couldn't find it on the web site):



It would appear the concrete walls are not that close as it doesn't look like you get to use the banking.

For £80 and being wihtin 1 hour I'm tempted...ponder ponder...

Can't go skiing in France with the lads, sorry!!!

What about 'Donny'? [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Chubby.

I've ridden the national circuit on a bike at a track day.
Not sure how the RS4 will fare, being a bit on the lardy side.

You will see from the track layout that you do what seems like a long multi-appexed right with a 90 right at the end of it, then spend a long time doing a long multi-appexed left followed by the hairpin.

It certainly isn't a power circuit. More about getting your lines right and carrying corner speed.

As for concrete, when I went just after the track was opened the only concrete was the wall along the start straight.

Cheers,
John.
