    Anyone tempted to try this?

    Winter Warmer Track Day - Friday 15 Feb 2013

    Good value, if you live close enough ride there, take it steady and have a cheap day out - weather could be good, could be bad - if THAT bad just stay in bed lol

    Did one at the same date a couple of years ago - was ace, and I ended up doing a photo shoot with James Haydon which was used in Bike magazine!

    April?! Early March 2012 were some of the best days we had!

    Think theres Donnington on the 28th feb with no limits that i'm doing, that'll be my first.

    Edit - Just looked at the link and i'm pretty tempted - whats Oulton Park like, never rode there.

    Joe - Oulton Park is a great track - hence why in summer its £169 for a day (or close to that amount)

    Its got some elevation changes, cool banked section and feels like a proper track - search YouTube for details.

    For the money its surely worth a punt to try it at the price - you will then know if you want to spend top dollar to try it high summer

    If my 3 other mates all attend we have the most laid back / social approach to track days going - we all tend to ride there - have a good chat / piss take / mess about and dont take the whole thing too seriously but really enjoy the few track days we do each year.

    Message me any questions you may have

    Think i'll wait till abit nearer the time and and give it a try - see what weathers doing. Its only around 2 hours away from me. Sounds similar to Cadwell.

    Will you tube it, are you going Al?

    I do plan to attend. If it snow you will get a credit I am sure.

    Look on the cost as same as 2 taster sessions.

    I would expect this to sell out a few weeks before given price and fact its a Friday.
