Lydden is a night mare circuit.
one set of tyres totaly shagged in a day on that cicuit
And the run off area leaves a lot to be desired but does help to fuel the adrenalin rush.

They are good from a spectator point of view as they get a good view at the indy and lydden

But i prefer circuits like Cadwell, Donnington and Oulton Park
Or Brands GP and Silverstone GP.
Pembrey is a lot of fun to.

From what I've heard, Mallory is a fairly good circuit, but if I'm going to travel a fair way then I'd personally rather go for Donnington or Silverstone. Cadwell and Brands are both superb too, but not quite so central for people to get to.

Also just a thought - weekday trackdays are cheaper, but for contractors they work out more expensive as you lose a day's wages. Another cost you don't always factor in is staying over the night before so that you can make the 8am sign on in the morning - some places let you camp at the track the night before (e.g. Cadwell), so might be worth asking about this?

For an SV the GP circuits are too long. If you want a circuit that you can learn quickly which offers some challenges, try Mallory. It's small enough to suit the SV (BSB times are only about 1sec up on BSS) but it also has some great little bends.

It's in the midlands so most people can make it, and it's not that expensive either.

Just my opinion....

Mallory used to be a great cicuit till they put in Edwiners (highside city)
It's felled many a rider and my self.
A very good corner for spectators tho.

a track day is on my "to do" list for next year and I've been going to Brands since I was 6 months old so it would be only too fitting to go there for my 1st one. Indy circuit is great for a bike like the sv and Paddock Hill bend will scare the be Jesus out of me at first!!!

Now i have to fit that gixxer shock, fork oil and braided hose before the nice weather comes ....Billy!!!!!!!!!

I voted rockingham, if you all would let me ride on my thundercat?!? somewhere in the midlands I would have thought would be most fair, or perhaps my geography is crap but basically somewhere everyone can get to. no point doing brands if scotish forum members cant get there.

Donnington is a fantastic circuit but they are very strict on noise
