Personally my favourite Uk Track is Cadwell park, but what's yours and why? The reason I like Cadwell is for its undulation, how it flows and that it's pretty quick. Me and the MINI there flic.kr/p/VUqYET |

Donington Park for UK circuits.
I think its because my first ever motorsport experience was there. 1998 BTCC in the soaking rain when Nigel Mansell drove the wheels off his Mondeo to take the lead of the race.
Thing I love about driving it is the speed at which you approach pretty much all the corners, its requires full commitment for a quick lap time. Craner Curves flat out and then just commit to the Old Hairpin, take as much curb on the apex as possible and get get back on the power to drive up the hill. For me there is no better UK circuit.
European, well I've only driven two, Spa and Nordschleife. Spa was pretty special as was The Ring but Spa would take it for me. Eau Rouge is a unique experience.

Not yet driven on track, only been and passenger at Silverstone, which I'm not that fond of.
As a spectator I like Castle Combe and Brands Hatch, I find them quick and entertaining.
I am yet to go to others. Cadwell gets liked a lot. I need to visit.

Considering I only live 20 minutes away I've only every done a driving experience in a Ferrari (biggest let down ever) and an atom. I was suposed to have done it in the mini a few years back but the clutch gave up the weekend before drag racing at pod. The worst part was it was a faulty clutch. Was actually there last week watching truck racing. |

CADWELL park for sure, I love twisty corners, rises n drop off's, but I love the track because I feel it gives a level playing ground, even if you don't have a 800hp evo the smaller less powered nibble cars can still keep up and show what they've got

Spa, is my favorite hands down, lucky enough to have done this quite a few times now with a group of us, and its awesome.
I have spent most of my track time at Brands hatch as it is local must have done 1000s of laps here.
Silverstone GP and Donnington Park are my favorite in England though, both challenging and are great when you get them right.

You can feel that its a special track just being there. I stared at the grid hatchings thinking of all the great names that have lined up there... Then I went up Eau Rouge and thought about all the big names that corner has claimed over the years. Really want to try and go back next year if possible in my own car. |

Only been around Silverstone and Santa Pod (which I don't think really counts lol). Would love to take a trip to Spa and the Nurburgring so hopefully one day when #TrackAddict do another trip to either I could tag along!
Really want to get on some more tracks around the UK but probably won't be till next year now when I've gathered enough gear together, still need to get myself a helmet lol

First one for next year is March 24th at Rockingham so you've got plenty of time for that one. We are thinking of a Nurburgring trip next year. |

Will definitely make the Rockingham day as it's very local to me, 10 minutes up the road in fact! Would be interesting to know from people who have experienced a trip to Nurburgring what sort of costs are involved? |
