However we need to get to 30. At 25 it's £446, at 30 it's £372 - if my maths is correct wink. Like the sound of somewhere new but can't believe Snetterton will be 30% better and 30% more welcoming than Rockingham.

The track is certainly more than 30% longer and a dam sight newer. Because of the greater track length than Rockingham it would be able to absorb more cars without it appearing crowded.It also has much longer straights so we will be able to really stretch the legs of our cars. I don't know about anyone else but I found it difficult to get out of 4th gear anywhere on the track apart from the straight/corner 1 and only managed to reach around 110/120. Speaking to the lead Instructor at Rockingham (Steve Lewis) at the end I asked him which tracks would suit the Astons, he came back with Donnington, Snetterton and Silverstone (but only if it was the F1 circuit).

He also said that as a freelance team they could provide the instruction at Snetterton but that would have to be arranged when the booking was made by telling them we would be providing our own instructors.

30 cars would be fine at Snetterton I'm sure, if the demand is there we could go to a max 35. I have been emailed by the Rockingham instructors, so they are on board if we need them. I'll see what deal I can get from Snetterton, they are aware of the excellent deal we enjoyed at Rockingham and are prepared to be flexible. smile I'll be back later today with more. Meanwhile off down to Lancasters to have some front wheel balancing done, as it became worse in the afternoon it brought a premature end to our day on Friday. driving
