Off there early hours tomorrow, last minute thing after Bedford got cancelled last month and the organiser rang me yesterday to say there was space left, so I said "yeah why not" 
Just been watching vids, looks a bit narrow
Anyone done it? Things to look out for?

awsome track .. it is quite narrow and some corners have run off others have none. but its worth it imo . i know its local to me so im bias .. hall bends and the hairpin at the end of them is the worst place/most common for fvckups as it gets slippery (covered by trees) . other than that the gooseneck catches alot of people out.

its hard on brakes too. its allso a much faster track than i thought it would be .. id of thought you will hit 130mph+ down the back straight/dip.

oh make sure you wrap up well , there are no garages or proper pit lane there so the only cover is your car or the canteen.

Take it easy through hall bends (twisty bit as you join the track). Be careful through gooseneck too, I had mine sideways in the dry there!

All the faster parts are fine to give it some, just take it steady through the slower parts

We were meant to be going to the trackday there tomorrow....but both cars are out of action
It's part of the Time Attack series this year, but haven't been down to it yet.
