RMA are doing one, but in November.
Lots of public days all weekend (Sat - Sun 9am-4pm), but mostly in November!

Other than that just normal public days. Have a look on the ring calendar.

Hmm only list RMA- November 7th = £595 & its RMA members only! (costs about a squillion ££ to be an RMA member I think), err so think I'll pass on that one.

Nah I know when the public days are, & yes may well do some more, & dosh allowing I'll go back in August, but surely a world of diff doing it on a track day with a much more empty track & no bikes or coaches & slow vans!! which are not my idea of fun to contend with if im driving hard. Early morning wk end & eve weekday less busy & was to me fun, afternoon on weekend was not.

Just got thinking as on the tunnel back got talking to some elise/VX chaps doing it on the Ez track day in Nov cost £300, which i think is is pretty darn good for 2 days tracking- would cost a lot more for 2 whole days buying public tickets at 10 euros a pop & no bikes & vans & coaches to contend with! Guess you have to take the risk of cack weather in Nov tho.

Also got some mates who want to go but who wont do public days there.

Weekend public days are not bad so long as you are at the gates at opening. You will get a good couple hours in before things get a bit mad. At first closure you can then drive off and ahve a look at the countryside, grab a bite to eat, and come back for a session near closing time when things usually calm down again.

I generally just head home after 10 or so laps on the weekend mornings.

If you can arrange a holiday and take in the weekday evening sessions, by all means try it. The track is generally empty with just a few locals driving. Don't tell anyone our little secret though.

For a bit of guidance, there are plenty of regulars around. Just get a few passenger laps and you'll start to get the hang of the place a bit sooner.
