Might come and watch... I've barred myself from doing another one this year as I've spent too much on the car.

I know, really need to stop though

Got my cage going in next month along with perspex windows and dry sump so really need to keep the money handy for now.

You ever been to that airfield circuit which used to be Mintex' test track near Sherburn?

Apparently they're doing monthly open pit lane days now for £50, there's one on the day before this Blyton day so thought I'd waddle down just to see what the circuit is like... pretty sure I'd be bored of cones and an airfield pretty quickly though.

I know Elvington is harsh on tyres, someone on PH said that the Sherburn place "isn't too bad" but that could mean anything

Its not that narrow. I just found a full day there boring compared to other tracks. Its a bit like Llandow. I wont bother with either of them again as they are just a bit meh

VRSTurbo is the only negative review I've read/heard of, everyone else seems to love it!

I'll reserve judgement till I attend myself though!

I think you dont get much because its cheap same as llandow there is a couple of negative reviews because it kills tyres but its a mundane track very much so compared to the bigger tracks. Even mallory is ten fold better

there are 2 good parts. The last corner if your flat out the track drops and the back goes a bit light. And the long sweeping corner towards the car park is good!

I think in smaller cars it would be really fun. But highish power cars its a bit yawn

I actually thought the same about being in smaller cars with low power, mine is a really small car so size wise it should be great, but powerwise.. Not so much.. I dont think ill even be able to get my foot down for a decent amount of time.

Shall see.

I didn't get above 3rd gear there. I found it fun but it was my first time on track.

did it in my VX, was fun. Good circuit for pushing hard without much worry of stuffing it.
