Ahem!
Back to the thread. ;O)
You could always try the Cadnam GP, used to keep me busy when I should have been at college. There are some gouges in the tarmac there thanks to me!

Lap between the roundabout at the M27/A31 and A336/A31 junctions. See here:

Watch cars coming off the motorway though, they don't have great visibility as you come hooning round the roundabout.

ETA: You could also try the M27/A36 roundabout, I used to play there sometimes too. You'll need to pick a time when the traffic is light though.

Watch for coppers at Cadnam, I remember Scoobs and Tee Jay both saying it sometimes has a police presence especially on Tuesday ( Poole Quay ) Nights.

M27 / A36 roundabout is a good call...

Also the Slip road onto the M27 at Junction 12 is quite good fun to.

They are within 30 miles of Cardiff !
Theres one section of dual carriageway I reckon you can get your knee down on, right hand bend.. but you'll probably have to do 80-90 mph to do that... Im building up the courage to try that one !
I know of a good left hander, joins onto the A465 from Glyn Neath... very tight, dual carriage left hand turn.. can usualy get my knee down there...

True - we usually do a sighting lap first, just to check. The last few times however the locals have got a bit ****ed off and have actually come out with video cameras - presumably for evidence purposes............
