Can anyone tell me what the track surface and run off areas are like?
Generally pretty good, I didn't notice too much in the way of chippings, although it can never be as good as a well maintained circuit.
The organisers are very friendly but quite strict, you just need to run through (as opposed to over) the cones to get black flagged. I get the impression they aren't too keen on gooning.
On the other hand it is a good place for beginners for this reason.
Opinions welcome...
I have never done any track driving in my own car before, but really fancy the idea of this event, can anyone help out with:
- Anything i ought to know?
- Is this a good beginner event?
- Will i get laughed at for turning up in a 520i :-)
- Any advice you can offer
Thanks in advance
