Talking Kirkistown Trackdays

Anybody been to a track day at Kirkistown? I know its a ferry trip over from Scotland but probably still the nearest circuit to us in Dumfrieshire.

Organisation, safety, circuit layout, etc?

Seems quite cheap at £60 for a days track expierence. And is only £25 on the ferry, so probably still cheaper than doing a day at a circuit in England, and a lot less distance to ride to and back.

Kirko is a grand track but it's pretty small.

As for trackdays I've only been on with this crowd http://www.kirkistowntrackdays.co.uk/

They usually run 4 groups which is different from the usual 3.

I've always had fun on those track days.

A lot of people go there and have some fun the night before the trackday and "camp" on the circuit if that's easier for you since you're coming from Scotland.

Thanks G, camping sounds a good craic, but the way it is cost effective is taking a day return with Stena. Only costs £25 return. Coming over for the Armoy race this weekend on a day return ticket.

Would be my 1st track day so like the sound of the 4 groups and looks a small / easy track to learn but wide enough to have some fun!

Yep unlike Mondello here there's only really 4 main corners in Kirko. Real easy to learn. But Debtors is what seperates the men from teh boys.
