I'd imagine cadwell to be nasty in a car...not much runoff, especially through the wooded section if I remember right....

Bummer........I vote for Castle Coombe, only because it is ten minutes up the road from me

but would be more interested to do one I haven't been on.... Knockhill is the other end of the world....but good, what about Donnington?

Here's a clip of it. Beware, 18.25mb!

Fairly narrow but the run-off is better than some.

Looks like a pretty interesting circuit to drive.

What about Snetterton in Norfolk? Been past but never inside but sure there's plenty of run-off from seeing events on TV!! Or that airfield JR !

Snetterton is nice and close for me, not that the rest of you will care

Dave, nice on a bike eh.
Don't suppose I can interest you in a nice 996

What's up John, fed up of it breaking down ?

...what you looking at getting to replace it ?

To be honest, if I were getting another bike, which I don't intend to at the moment...it'd probably be a gixxer 750...

Snetterton looks ok - was up there when my uncle raced there a couple of months ago, more "british" (fairly basic) than Rockingham where they were in the next round - was tempted to dive onto the circuit at one point as there was an open gate out onto the track, didn't want to embarras everyone though

As for a track day, depending on when and where, I'd be up for one - it's high time I got out on a track, but I'd go with the long run off theory as being a newb to this kind of thing I'll no doubt need it!! My only previous track experience was a few laps of goodwood in a ferarri, some karting - oh and LOTS of GT3... (Gran Tourismo unfortunately, not the JR variety!)

boom tish

No, it has been prettyu good, except one notable trip, but even then it never totally failed and still left the others behind

...what you looking at getting to replace it ?

I have a plan

Unfortunately it requires me to unload a couple of toys to make way for the new one though.

Nice bike. The new gixxer thou is a superb bike too. I had one for a day and absolutely loved it. A real licence loser though.
