The Bugatti circuit is a lovely track with the added bonus that you can imagine you are racing in the greatest 24 hour race. You enter the start finish line, run the Dunlop curves and then as you set off towards the Mulsane straight you peel off to the right and that`s the Bugatti part.

If you`ve ever been to the 24hr race you must have a run round the Bugatti circuit.

This is a track i am dying to do, always seems to be an immediate sell out though.

Does any other TD company do this track other than auto track?

Cheers

Sorry, but in my opinion, after you peel off from the 24HR circuit, the rest of it is like watching paint dry. And it seems to make passengers sick as dogs...

But just to drive down that pit straight at full chat would surely make the trip worthwhile

For the first hour or so, then the infield gets a tad tedious. Sorry, but Spa knocks it into a cocked hat. Or the ring, or even the M25.....

I think I feel like a mix of the opinions above : must be great to drive on some of the great 24 hour track, but the rest looks a bit artificial. So I will try it for one day at least. If anyone is desperate to do it, there is a possibility on either Fri 4th Aug or Sat 5th Aug. I do it through my local club, the Porsche Club Francorchamps, but non-members are welcome too. Price is 250 euros for the day (including a box by the club I think)
