track day Angelsey
Discussion
Anyone been around the full international GP circuit. Are there many barriers to hit or are there some good run off areas.
Taking the griff on the 26th march, with my younger brother (age 29).He's a good driver, got a jeep SRT8 and a wrangler for off road (he lives in dubai).
Just thinking rear wheel drive for him will be a whole new ball game,especially if it happens to be raining. Don't want my P and J bent at the end of the day.(Forgot to mention that i put his wrangler on it's roof and wrote it off in the desert).
Never mind(sh!t happens).
Anything to watch out for or should it be plane sailing, regarding car or driver(s)?
Any comments or advice greatly received.

I haven't driven the new circuit, but I drove the old circuit in the Griffith and it's a fantastic circuit. The new layout is very open and there's plenty of room to play and not be overly concerned of barriers compared to say Goodwood.
Caveat being that any circuit has barriers and other cars, so pick your moments etc, but I loved it at Anglesey, just a shame I live in the other sticky out bit of the country, dimatrically opposed in location, otherwise I'd be there more often.

Anglesey is a fine circuit and I have seen many changes there over the last twenty odd years.
Plenty of run off on the fast bends apart from Church which if it all goes hideously wrong at full tilt could end up with questionable circumstances??
Slow bends, no issues apart from turning onto the start finish straight which in a rear wheel drive car would normally have you on the infield if you where a little keen on the throttle. Anglesey however has a concrete pit wall along its length and I have seen one or two rattling down the wall?
