I would have suggested Donington, but I think it is closed for the F1 upgrades isn't it?

Here's a link to the UK courses  and looking at it Rockingham would be a fairly central course to meet at.

There are track days on Monday 25th and Saturday the 30th of May @ Goodwood but that might be a bit too tropical for you. :wink:

I think Donington would be a great tack to have a day.. Or Oulton, thats a really nice circuit..

Rockingham is pretty sh*t if im honest..

i'd be up for Oulton Park / Cadwell Park.

Mallory Park is in Leics but bit boring as a track i think.

You could always come down to Bedford Autodrome!!!  :happy2:

Snetterton is not bad! bit more reachable for the southern lot.

I go anywhere for a track day!

Old airfields are poo, you need some hills/camber/blind bends.

Oulton or Donny FTW, although I still prefer Oulton - home track and all  :wink:
