[pistnskint]

I've never heard of this before, anybody done a track day here? I see Croft now has very low DB noise allowance. Shame.

Yes, done it many times in the civic and westfield. Its basically a kart track but a nice layout all the same. I've always enjoyed my days there.

It's a great compact circuit and has a long straight, you will see 100+ mph in med to fast car,

Give it a try.

[200Plus Club]

great circuit, tight n twisty with a nice fast back section. hit 120mph+ in my car on there and the bend after it is very deceiving, deepens up on you! great value for money

Along with GI Joe (LOL) I run the track days at Teesside. we've done qquite a few now and as yet haven't had a single person say they were disappointed.

Although Cpt. Crab is correct in saying it is essentially a Kart circuit; to clarify this, it is the longest International Kart Circuit in Europe. But the layout we use for track days has an MSA Race Permit for cars.

What you shouldn't do is set your expectations too high. It's not a Croft, Oulton, Donington or Anglesey. But having said that it is a great little circuit.

120 mph is very possible at the end of the long straight - I've done it in a customer's GT3. Also a competitor came to test a GT racing Porsche and recorded 135 mph at the end of the straight.

A couple of weeks ago I took a client of mine there to test his Historic Formula Ford in preparation for this year's championship, znd I drove it myself for a few laps. Now I used to race Formula Ford, it's where I started, but this was my first time in one for 16 years, and I was too fat/heavy (15.5st) didn't fit (too short as the owner is taller than me), and I only did six laps, so don't be too critical ... but this shows how good a little circuit it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UBzH-AOenU

Teesside is slightly shorter than Brands Indy. A good historic FF time at Brands is probably 48 - 49 secs. So a 50 around the much tighter Teesside is probably quite quick. I reckon if I'd done 20 - 30 laps I would have got it into the 48's.
