Default TV Track Day.

OK. So it was discussed last night at the Sticky Lemon Tree and was met with sounds of approval.

So here we go. The first poll of many no doubt. In the first instance, who fancies the idea of a TV Track Day?

Enter your choice above. There are no times, dates, or tracks decided at this time. But it would seem the main criteria is low cost.

Discuss (and vote).

There aren't that many tracks around the south.

Moving north you have Lydd (more of a go-kart track), Brands (expensive), Thruxton (bit of an unknown quantity), Silverstone (expensive), Rockingham (a maybe), Mallory, Snetterton (too fast for SVs) and then you're into the arctic wastelands with Oulton and Mallory Park.

So I reckon it's most likely to be Thruxton or Rockingham.

I can do mid week if it make it cheaper. Rockingham isn't really that far away. Its only just off the A14 which is real east to get to. Silverstone is obviously very handy for us Oxford lot, but a bit pricy I imagine. they do run some days IIRC on the smaller circuit which are cheaper.

I don't mind where, I don't mind when. For me cost is of my only concern. I don't particularly want to go to a circuit which is full throttle most of the time. You may not know this, but I like twisties.

I'll go with the majority though.
