Alan Whibley – Old Farts Member
Castle Combe Circuit does not have any pit garages, so bring your own awning, marquee or race truck if you are expecting wet weather. However, there is an excellent clubhouse that serves hot food and drink all day. The track organisers make sure there is an informal feel and the atmosphere is relaxed but make no mistake this track can bite!
There are two very challenging corners – Tower and Quarry. Neither have much run-off. It is worth taking time Read more

Cadwell is just off the A153 between Louth & Horncastle. From the south, leave the A1 at Grantham and take the A153 all the way to the track. From the north, take the A18/A16 to Louth, then the circuit is 7 miles south on the A153.
Coppice is a very fast corner but be really smooth with the turn in and allow the car room on the exit of the corner. Following the first corner, bring the car back to the left, light brake and then turn the car in Read more

Steve Day – Caterham Racer
Silverstone was originally an old World War II airfield and held the first RAC International GP in 1948. It then went on to host the first British F1 Championship round in 1950. It’s a circuit that has been driven and tamed by many famous names in racing, in single seaters, tin tops and some rather specialised cars and bikes over the years. The home of British Racing and with 18 bends, the annual 300,000 fans that flock to watch the F1 must know Read more

Bedford has multiple configurations, although there are four main circuits (used individually on corporate days) which are linked together to form the 3.6 mile GT (Gran Turismo) version, frequently used on track days. Facilities are first class, with two well-equipped hospitality areas in the pit lane in which to huddle away from the often chilly wind. The joint briefing room and restaurant is also excellent (if a little pricey).
It is worth Read more

Notes: Registration starts at 07:30:safety briefing all day long. Track time is live (open session) from 09:00-18:00. Pre-booking is advised as this type of trackday normally sells out.
There are 2 pitlanes in use currently, the GP pits (detailed in the map above) & the endurance pits (entry after the GP exit, and exit onto the start of Kemmel). A lap starting from the GP exit goes down towards Eau Rouge and Raidillon. The trick is to go as close to the wall as you can, and stay there. Then, you cross to the left, over the big patch of curbstone. You straighten the wheel again and brake as you see fit. After the braking, and when you’ve started the climb of Raidillon, Read more

One of the longest and the fastest circuits in the UK at 2.356 miles, Thruxton is another old airbase which has been used for motorsport since 1950. Racing at Thruxton is limited, and track days are even rarer due to strict noise restrictions so the visit of British Touring Cars and the British Superbike Championship are the main points of the season at Thruxton.
The surface at Thruxton is a tough one and is known for causing severe tyre wear. Graining occurs but it does give surprisingly Read more

Brands Hatch was once a dirt track motorcycle circuit on farmland, but is now one of the most thrilling circuits in the UK with races from grass track to DTM. Below is an expert guide to Brands Hatch by Paul Rivett, three-times Clio Cup Championship winner.
The circuit begins on the Brabham Straight, an off-camber, slightly curved stretch. The ideal line is to hug the pit wall until the start/finish line and then move to the left of the circuit to Read more

Probably my favourite circuit of all. Set in the lovely Sussex countryside and beautifully maintained. There’s well manicured grass all round and there lies problem number one – almost no run off anywhere. Put a boot on the grass and there is a tyre wall with solid earth banks waiting for you.
The pleasant surroundings can give a give a feeling of relaxation, but it is deceptive and can catch out the unwary. There is plenty of cover in the pits to Read more

Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans is a racetrack with incredible history thanks to the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours race. I have had the extreme privilege of competing in this fantastic event twice and am delighted to say I had the honour of stepping onto the iconic podium having won this year’s event in LMP2 after taking pole position.

We had a great response to the competition which involved our stand visitors having a hot lap around Brands Hatch on our simulator. We had varied lap times and experience of drivers from Andy Wilmot – BTCC Driver, Tom Brown – Ginetta racer and clubman racers all competing with competitive lap times. We used the BMW GT car which produced some seriously quick times around the Indy circuit but luckily not the really thing as the car was really put through its paces and many tire walls.
