    I know it's really early just putting it out there as it's a 3 group and not the normal 4 but it is pricey @ £229.

    I am racing the weekend before at Donnington so not sure myself yet but it is an awesome track and would love to get back there as I feel I have unfinished business there, as last time there were loads of red flags and it pissed it down just as I was getting a feel for the track.:D

    Every penny if its a 3 group day and sunny!!!

    It's 3 days after donny for us but don't get many shots at gp through the year, so having said maybe not to jase earlier. I'll prob be tempted to break rank and sign up :) specially if any of you northern boys feel like visiting ;)

    Why do brands charges so much? Better still why do people pay that price
    Let's face it if we all stopped doing track days there the price would soon fall into line with other tracks ;)

    It's an awesome track and took me a while to learn it and even then I struggled with the left hander (Surtees corner) which is very hard to get it right it was good watching lowes and shaky at the last BSB race there how they were riding it. and been the GP track it doesn't open up to track days much leaving just the Indy track which looks pretty boring and short.Its a 5-6 hour drive for me so it's a hell of a treck to get to but I loved it .

    Think it's simply a case of supply and demand- GP circuit isn't available that much during the year.

    And it's bloody awesome. Personally I think it's mega.

    And not too many decent tracks down here. They tried reducing price by running 4 groups but its not worth it IMO. Rather pay extra

    I know I know..... Sucker for peer pressure lol. Plus if you lads make the effort it'd be rude not too. ;)

    Indeed. But I still don't think you'd regret it for that money

    You are lucky the amount you have within a few hours.

    But it's worth it once, great track and feels special being there IMO.
