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. Where you from? We all live near and around Loughborough. Tamworth so not a million miles away |

Knockhill,as its the only circuit within a couple hundred miles. not the easiest and even better in reverse. Drove silverstone on the gp circuit but felt like i was getting lost half way round its so massive A few people ive spoken to have said that about Silverstone GP. |

I love Rockingham just because its kind of technical and you really have to concentrate - its a lot of fun in fast and slow cars
I really like Donington, but I struggle to commit in a few places around there for one reason or another
I love the flow of the full length Oulton Park circuit although not been there for a long time
I have a love/hate with Brands indy because on the face of it, its such a simple circuit, but in reality I've NEVER got every corner right on a single lap!
I am not a massive fan of Silverstone GP - I think its probably amazing now in an F1 car, but a road type car its just a huge (wide) circuit and doesn't really work for me

Silverstone GP is boring, I drove bother layouts and didnt really enjoy either of them. Its just too big and too open.
Rockingham is a great track, the banked turn 1 is a unique challenge and then the infield is nice and technical.

I agree on the Silverstone points - bit boring :/
The best tracks for me would be:
1 - Oulton Park - really enjoyed driving here even though my project was in it's infancy
2 - Donington - craner curves has to be one of the best parts of any UK circuit
3 - Rockingham - technical infield section really seemed to suit the F well last year
I'd absolutely love to do Cadwell at some point.....might make it top of my list for next year :/

Cadwell Park because Cadwell Park.
Haha! In all honesty I like them all but i adore Cadwell, Oulton, Anglesey and Dony. Probably in that order too.
Anglesey is like someone has CAD designed a track and then built it in an incredible location. Realy does feel silky to drive.
Donington is great for flow and speed... everyone loves craners and the speed you can carry through the old hairpin is sublime.
Oulton is my home circuit. Even as a lad I remember going there to watch. Before i could afford my own track toys i bought a helmet and would go to track days and get cheeky passenger rides. One of the main reasons I am always super keen to get people in my passenger seats if they wish/ask. Feel I am repaying my debt that way and inspiring others to get out and give it a go. Was actually taught Oulton by Pip from WGT who had been doing track/race days there since the 60s. He taught me in a triple rotor RX7 so I have so many fond memories of this place. It's a proper bitch of a track mind.
And then there is Cadwell... What can I say, it's a friken rush! Super tight and technical. Won't give up it's speed/secrets easily and suited perfectly to my little MK.
We really are so lucky to live in the UK with this hobby. No where else on earth can offer us what we have on our doorstep. not to mention Nurburgring and Spa being a sensible pilgrimage away too! I never forget how lucky we are.
