Got 2 in mind, Mallory and Anglesy.

Loved Rockingham some absolutely cracking corners, the chicane followed by the right hander did leave me crapping myself a few times due to carrying too much speed but the double apex right after that was just....wow!
And the hairpin done most of my overtaking their

People have said that doing a track day will improve your road riding but i could never see how !
But on the ride home i was taking corners that i've ridden before in an over exaggerated manner so fluent and easy, you realise how much confidence you can get out of your bike and tyres ( conti road attack supersports) get a mahoosive thumbs up from me.
The No Limits guys were very good in giving out tips too. My right side of the tyre was getting pretty torn up but the left was barely untouched, the instructor told me "your just holding a constant throttle through the left hand section"....."give it some berries after the first apex and the left will scrub up like the right"
So off i went and bugger me he was right

I've now officially caught the trackday bug

I like them for that - they have the best instruction that I've had from any of the trackday companies. I did Mallory with them a while back & got "you're doing pretty well, but you're absolutely 5h1t3 out of the bus-stop/devil's elbow" & the proceeded to tell & show me what I needed to do actually, that doesn't sound good, but it was done jokily & constructively

Couple of people from here are doing Mallory on the 26th if you're interested:
