Ah bloomin heck, small world! And i bumped into my mate luke & one of the guys off here (ryan with a red sv?)... only went for the evening session 5-8pm.

The track evening (and day) was run by NoLimits - I only went along since it was £39 and my mate was going too. They seemed pretty good but I'd prefer to go on a full on Novice Only session next time. Had one nobber on a ducati who tried to have me off at the last minute before a chicane... all good though

I'm looking to do another novice only day, at either Snetterton again or Oulton Park. Will make sure I post it if I'm going.

yeah could be good to get a few of us together I fancy croft as it's about 50miles away but I've heard the track is rough as feck? Mind you the rubber is pretty shredded on the shoulders of my tyres after cadwell

Croft is a pretty good circuit, very flowing with a nice mixture of corner types, it's less technical than Cadwell but has some deceptively high speed turns. Been there for 3 TDs and haven't noticed any excessive wear on tyres when compared with elsewhere, the tarmac is mainly good condition, the odd repair here and there but nothing major.

Definitely worth a visit on the SV.

doesnt matter how hartd a track is at the end of the day it is nothing more than 15 or so corners that dont change from one time to the next so compared to your favrite ride out route is a piece of **** to learn.
