Default Re: where to do 1st track day

I'd have to say Rockingham too. Lovely little track without too much gear changing, and it goes left AND right!

I did Nurburgring in the p*ssing rain for my 1st trackday. Not as mad as it sounds, was bloody good fun!

1st was valle de vienne near poitiers.

was awesome. flat wide with lots of technical corners. loved it.

bout 6 months riding experience, met some random bloke on a ferry going to france to do some touring after losing my job who invited me along.

theres me hooning around on 59k hornet making people on italian exotica very green.

top fun!

For a first trackday either Rockingham national circuit or Mallory Park. Given that you're in Luton, The Rock is closer. Don't bother with the international circuit there, it makes an otherwise decent track farily boring.

Mallory, between Leicester and Hinckley, has a decent selection of bends and a bit of a straight. Gerards goes on forever and is great fun if you like long sweeping fast corners... which I do.
