I'm coming in Gazboy's Supra. Will they let big heavy auto's on track? Though only as a passnger this time. May have to hire the Lotus for a few laps. I will be needing some more laps in the Fury, I don't think I quite took it all in last time.

What is the track like....surface, corners and length of straight would be helpful, on their site it did not have a map of the circuit, but said speeds of 100mph on the straight are possible????

100mph is easily possible, i get that that in the little mazda Cab!

I've done Hullavington, and thought that Abingdon was better. Some great corners, which you can really blast through, and some tight ones. I'm not sure how to describe the surface, but i thought it was quite good for an airfield

Thankyou, I thought they were having a lark...100mph comes up pretty quickly

With respect to the surface....I am more concerned with the ammount of stone chips I will get, not fussed about tyre wear.....just don't need the front end machine gunned requiring a respray just yet..thoughts on that?...Cheers.

Abingdon is pretty good in that respect. Keevil is a lot worse (I had the front of my car shot blasted there). The first time they used Abingdon there was a lot of grit but ever since it has been ok. As already said it is fun layout with a nice mix of bends. driving

I thought for a few days I may not be able to make it due to moving house, but as that is all being delayed furious I will probably be there all day and will be blagging as many PAX laps as possible. So if anyone has a spair seat they want to fill at any point come and find me!

See you all there.
