Re: Rockingham national
I did the International in atrocious conditions in mid March (snowing). It was too cold to get decent grip, but I've attended some good dry and warm days there. My only gripe with Rockingham is it's flat and featureless, so judging where braking points and turn in points are is difficult. There are lots of left handers though, which makes a welcome change.

Re: Rockingham national
I've done the rock. It's nice for the SV as there are smaller straights. Some tricky curves so well worth a day to figure them out! Pits etc are quite new.

Re: Rockingham national
Cracking little track, as it isn't really a power circuit in any part, would potentially be spot on for the SV!!
... let me know if you DO decide to go, I could well be game |

Re: Rockingham national
I did the international as well and loved it. Quite a new circuit and very "designed" so has quite a few lefts as well as rights Had one of my best trackdays here.

Re: Rockingham national
I wasn't keen on the International circuit where it went from infield to Oval, and again from oval to infield. There's a huge bump at each, the latter being right slap bang in a left hairpin where grip is reduced by huge amounts of car tyre rubber all over the track - braking is a bit dodgy there too.
If I go back it'll only be to do the National circuit. |
