Newt month is quite soon!
Is this your first trackday experience? Is your car prepped?
Combe and Croft aren't too far, Anglesey is worth a trip. Anglesey is probably the most forgiving, Oulton Cadwell and Combe are not forgiving circuits if you go off.

Do you mean Oulton and Cadwell? They're pretty technical tracks. Do you have much track driving experience? You might get more out of a simpler track initally, like Bedford or Silverstone, or even Donington, since these have wider tracks with less elevation (except Donington) and more run off than places like Cadwell..

few of us from the north east are heading to Croft on the 7th then to blyton Park on the 20th of this month and we have booked Knockhill and Anglsey in August.

we did Cadwell last month and had a great day . you need to do Oulton and Cadwell they are both tracks suited to 7"s in particular Cadwell.

can keep in touch if you want to tag along, theres half a dozen of us all with 7s of around 200bhp so makes for a very interesting day when we all get out together!theres a few vids up on you tube of us playing at cadwell.

Firstly, let me give this thread my vote for least intelligible of (almost) all time...

I think the OP is asking for recommendations on tracks to take a Caterham to, but I can't be sure! If this is the correct interpretation, then the answer is pretty simple - (almost) any of them! Even the so called 'power circuits' like Silverstone are fun, but the narrower and twistier the track, the greater the Caterham advantage seems to be vs most other cars. My personal favourites include Oulton, Cadwell, Silverstone, Donington, Bedford. Spa and the Ring are good adventure trips. Would like to give Anglesey a go one day soon. Haven't been on a single track day with the Caterham (wet or dry) which I haven't enjoyed. Can't comment on airfield days. Have visited Mallory in the past and found it a bit short/boring, so wouldn't put that one near the top of the pile. Oh - and I have driven my car to/from all tracks.

laugh at least your honest . You could have said it was the blessed auto correct on an iPad or such

Sorry can't help with your actual query.
Have only driven Oulton Park and Rockingham so far. Both good fun. Oulton very technical , not much run off , but when you get some of the difficult corners just so it will bring a big smile to your face.
Rockingham, good mix between the banked track and in field stuff. Really enjoyed my day there too.

Not much help but best I can offer
