What's wrong with Silverstone ? If not Silverstone i'd go for Brandshatch or Rockingham

[carpediem74]

TY also looking to book nissan day in june... wanting the best track for newbie... Silverstone looking good...carpe diem.

Best (and safest) track for a newbie is Taupo.

Unfortunately it's on the correct side of the planet where the sun is shining and you're stuck on the cold winter side of the planet

[silverthorn2151]

I think Snetterton is right up there.

If you are organising I should think it's much less complicated than many others, although that's just a feeling.

Oulton Park is a wonderful track, and is quite easy to get to.

I'd recommend Anglesey for the sheer amount of run-off, but the location can be a bit of a pain.

Bedford - lots of run off, not too much to hit?

[carpediem74]

Duly noted... cheers guys

[jamieleehodgson]

Oulton park! that was i can come and watch and scream like a girl hehe

Silverstone is well safe. Good track for a newbie. especially southern circuit.

Is this a proper trackday you'll be doing in your Aston or a driver experience day in an Aston. Reason to ask is that many of the circuits mentioned don't do much Aston experience stuff.

[Gwagon111]

Didn't Snetterton start life as an AMOC owned track?

[Chris71]

Silverstone is very slipperier in the wet (if you have a lot of first timers expected?) but also has a lot of run off, plus it's a big name historic circuit to take your clients to.

Bedford is probably the safest in terms of things to hit (or lack thereof), but it's quite tricky to learn and the noise limits tend to be quite low, which might be an issue if everyone's going around with the exhaust valve open on their V8 Vantages!

Hi its an experience track day and the only one available on a particular date i wanted was three sisters.. any info on this track pls

[Birdthom]

Well, 3 Sisters ain't Silverstone. It's a national-spec karting track, rather than a proper full-size car place. Can be great fun in a chuckable little car but it wouldn't be my choice for an Aston. On the plus side, you can buy t-shirts with logos like 'I did three sisters in under a minute'. I had great fun there on a day about 10 years ago but I'd pick a 'proper' circuit every time now.

impressive! does your wife know?


Got to agree Silverstone would be a better experience, the Grand Prix circuit is awesome, plenty of room for an Aston to stretch its legs

[carpediem74]

lol...being a girl i dont think the t shirt would be one id wear on regular basis... will change date and opt for silverstone...
much appreciated guys.. cheers..
