So with new wheels and tyres and a brake rebuild, the second track day for the Bentley. We'll have to see if they want the caravan towed around the circuit like they did at Blyton Park.

Hopefully I will have time to do some video this time.

Anyone else going to this? Only £170!

A few pointers and experiences of the track would be helpful, as I have never been there before. From what I have seen it should suit the car rather well.

I believe the instructors are free, so take the tuition. Last time there were a couple of well known drivers/instructors from BTCC.

Be careful not to lift/brake over the crest after the start/finish line (Avon Rise)!!

line into the first two corners is all id say is the one that'll take a while to pick up, other than that its a pretty straight forward fast track!

Any video footage?

When are you going to Brands?

Would love to see it in action and would be great to know what sort of lap times it does!
