With dates drying up for other circuits, and Bedford suited for the more powerful, high top-end, I was wondering if anyone had done Mallory Park?
Looks like a fun small circuit, that's not too far from London.
Any advice / views greatl;y appreciated
thanks,

mallory is a great little circuit, approx 55 seconds a lap (depending on what car your driving,if its a radical then more like 45 seconds). worth a trip up to check it out, gerrards goes on forever and is very fast, shaws hair pin is very tight, lake esses are interesting as is devils elbow. All in all i'm sure you'd enjoy it

Yep

Good little track, not very demanding but a lot of fun, suited my CSL well. We are going later this summer

I was disappointed .... but maybe it's because Mallory is my favourite
circuit to watch car racing, so when I got on it myself, I felt it a bit of a let down.

It was VERY busy when I drove it and because you should not overtake (being a Track Day)
around Gerrards (which DOES go on for ever!) and the whole circuit being so short, there can be quite a lot of frustrating laps.
