I have Brands 100 miles, Silverstone 120 ... the next nearest is 200 miles!! The problem with Brands is that it is stupidly expensive (in season)!! And to be fair ... a little boring after a while
Goodwood is probably your local - Shame they don't have bike trackdays there

There are plenty of minor tracks up north too that I didn't even mention

The only other well know track that is within 100miles of me is Thruxton, but they don't do trackdays there (well perhaps 1 or 2 a year, but that is it).

Hovi5 - Llandow is really good VFM, never been there but looked into it once ... if you get 30 odd ppl together then it works out at ~£100 a day* even in the summer and that is open pitlane (i.e. come and go as you please)

*I can't remember the exact figures/numbers, but it was good VFM.

Pembrey is a fun little track, been there a few times Its got a really nice beach out the back too ... nice for a summer BBQ ... the Welsh are really friendly too ... I was shopping for supplies late night on my way to Pembrey one time ... I had this person follow me round the store for a bit ... I thought they were following me to see if I was gonna nick something ... but then they came up and asked if I was ok had a smile on their face and asked what was I looking for??? ... this wasn't lip-service, they genuinely wanted to help and were genuinely happy ... that's a strange concept round here!!

But yes, you have to travel a bit boy-o if you want to visit any of the big name tracks

True enough ... Lydden is still 145 miles from me ... and hardly a major 'big name' track

I'd say if it is on the BSB calender it could be considered a big name track ...

So is Pembrey ... but apart from people in the game, who the hell has heard of that?!!? Certainly not many of your average armchair racers
