Yeah, they tend to give you a few days in a row to make it worth the travelling so it does cost a bit but I think it works out better value. 4 days on a GP quality circuit (MotoGP test there) in England (when its at least sunny and slightly warmer so equivelent wold be later in the year) would come to much more than £500 and you also get your bike transported and hotel accomodation so all in all it's probably cheaper.

But of course you don't have to do 4 in a row in UK

Good value, but I'm saving for my summer TDs in closer europe and "Ringing. If you go let us know how it went, does sound tempting....

well I got permission from the Mrs, now just have to ask work for the time off, they weren't too happy when I was off for a week after the last one! May tell them I'm playing golf!

I've split between this early Spanish track day or doing the Motorrad course on the Ring again, that was without doubt the best experience I've had on track, Neil (I think you know him) was very good instructor - 2 days on the closed circuit, but it works out a fair bit more. You just doing public days this year Tim?

Planning on doing the Motorrad course as well as public days this year. Saving for a Jahreskarte as I type. Plan to use the car as well down there in damp/could weather, hence new tyres/pads/strut brace/wheels for use on track. Going to get a trailer as well just in case. Looking forward to getting my century of laps at the 'Ring, once I get my exhaust sorted on the cage and the snow melts it should be sorted !

Bike TD plans include Zandvoort, Zolder, Spa, 'Ring, possibly Hockenheim and maybe some Austrian track or two depending on how many holidays I have left Any other suggestions would be appreciated though.

I've entered my first race at the 'Ring, but unfortunately it's on a push bike!

Almeria! My mate did BRNO (I think with Racedays) and said it was cheap and a great track, could be a go'er

'Ring on a push bike, I suppose not as bad at the Grossglockner but rather you than me

it probably is better value than 4 in this country and with a better chance of the weather being fair. it's just the lump sum that's my problem again.

4 in 4 days... couldn't think of many things more fun than that!!
