Llandrow - How does this compare to other tracks

[Mr Plow]

Hi All

Its pretty close to me and the rates are very good for the track days they organise, whats the track like?

It really depends on what you like from a track.

Llandow is fundamentally an oval with a chicane at the end of one straight and a 'bus stop' at the end of the other. Its quite short, about 0.75 miles I think, and run-off is quite good with the exception of the two bends that link up the straights. Tyre wall and no gravel trap.

Its great for a cheapish day out, but does become quite monotonous very quickly. Its also very abrasive, which although gives good grip in the wet, also gives your tyres a hard time.

I believe Chris Harris use's it quite a bit in the videos for on here.

Thank you for the feedback.

I didn't think about looking on youtube

Those tyres are certainly shot. It might be a better bet to go to Castle Combe, although more, once I factor in getting there and wear and tear it might work out even.

It's good fun in small, light cars, but I could imagine it feeling too tight in something big and powerful. Other pluses are that they are fairly relaxed about noise levels, and general goonery.

There's plenty at the start of Hangar Straight.


It's a fun little circuit. You might as well go and drive it, and then you'll know what it's like.

Yes, good value, good fun. Definitely worth a go if you're local.

There's a good kart track there for something to do during lunch/evening.

Good track to start with specially in a small car I done my first track day in a 1.6 mx5 had a great day trying to get a full lap in with minimal braking apart from the first corner is good fun. This year I got a mev exocet kit car to play with so will be going to some bigger tracks hopefully be booking in for pembrey and have booked in for castle combe for jap fest.

Cant go wrong for 80 quid and noise level is tested so no worries about that.
