I'm trying to sort out my track day plans for the year. Currently, I booked on 3 PCGB days (Castle Combe, Goodwood, Brands Hatch indy) and a couple of Bookatrack days, and I'll probably add a few Donington evening sessions too.

Does anyone have anything else I shouldn't miss this year? I prefer 'proper' circuits to airfields, and want to keep away from Cadwell until I'm used to the car....

From an RS porsche owners perspective you may like to look at the Oulton Park day on 27th march.

I would have done, but I'll be in Yosemite National Park that day, what a pity....

Good choice of circuits... as Daz says... Oulton is well worth the trip.

Donington is also a must do.

In the wet you'll need some brown courdroys for Craner Curves at Donington... here's a lap (I'm in the M3 - vid taken from Rob Grigsby's Seven - it gets kinda wet I'm afraid) 4 mb wmv

Donington is my current favourite. I'm never tried Castle Combe or Goodwood (noise issues) so I'm looking forward to those. I've only been to Brands once, and I scared myself witless - wet in a Superlight R on old ACB10s - I had a massive tank slapper on the pit straight changing into 4th gear at about 100mph. I'm sure it'll be more fun in the RS in the dry...
