best circuit in the midlands?

[skylinecrazy]

question says it all

[skylinecrazy]

doesn't have to be a race circuit, could be sprinting, hillclimbing or whatever.. just want to know what track ill spend this year at

[ff5317]

For what purpose? If it's proper hard driving absolutely has to be Donington Park, if it's just for having a bit of fun then Mallory is a fairly easy track to get to grips with.

as in viewing

What about Oulton Park?

thats in cheshire haha

[RobJShe]

Cadwell park? Good for spectating even better for driving though

[v6ter]

Simple: Donington Park

But also worth driving -

Oulton (ok just out of the midlands)
Rockingham

I dont rate Mallory myself, just an oval with a hairpin added on more or less

[Phoenix]

Donington Park for a fast flowing circuit if you have a car with plenty of power i.e F360, 911 GT3 etc

Cadwell Park full cicuit for a great drivers challenge in great handling cars - Caterham, Exige etc

Mallory Park is a bit basic but the long first turn is good in a decent car. Very limited run-off in some places around the circuit.

Viewing = Donington and Oulton
Driving = Donnington (nice and quick), Slightly out of the midlands, diff contry even, sneaking on to the Le mans circuit at maison blanche ragging SuPaSpArKs TVR 3000M upto porche curves then back to the start/finish line then back to the curves to be threatend with being arrested if we dont get off the track, only to then rag it back to the start/finish line, before thinking were pushing our luck and getting back onto the camp site.

ye, fancied going curborough, how many cars turn up per event though? would want to make a day of it

[ff5317]

From the few times I've spectated rather than race I really enjoyed Mallory as you get to see so much of the lap, and as it's a rather short circuit theracing tends to be much more frenetic than the longer circuits.

Usually a good number of competitors. You can make a day of it. The big events like the VSCC are the only ones which get really crowded in terms of spectators. There a few regular PH attendees.
