Some footage here www.graduates.org.uk/video/
Nice circuit, relatively easy to learn and a reasonable amount of run off. Not much in the way of referece points into the first hairpin so easy to outbrake yourself. The grate on the inside of the final bend ( Honda) is the apex and is key to a fast lap.

When are you going?

I'd love to do Pembrey! Who is the organiser?

Agreed, lots of run off but beware if it's wet(it is in wales!)and you do go off you tend to skid over the greasy grass into some rather unforgiving tyres without slowing down.
Honda can be a b*gger for this.
If you do a few track days it's worth getting the Autosport Circuit Guide, I think you can even borrow them from some Libraries.

How do I get an invite?

Phone no.s, website, what? Buy a TVR?

Sorry to keep asking, but I can't find details anywhere.


I really want to try Pembrey out, but I never see the track days advertised. All the big guys (RMA & Goldtrack etc) think it is too far off the beaten track...

You'd have to be a member of the TVR Car Club although they sometimes offer day membership for £5.

However, this track day is after the big Power & Passion event in Cardiff, so even if its not already sold out they may stipulate TVR only I'm afraid.
