I don't like the idea queuing to then have a 60 second stint on a circuit, also with this many cars I'm not going to get a decent chance at memorising or improving on the circuit, or learning the cars limits. The car will never begin to get warm either!

Being such a small circuit it is easy to remember, after just 3 laps at the weekend I knew where the turns were, it was just a case of getting the lines right. The car does get warm but the tyres can be a problem, but its the same for everyone. I soon found the limit of the car (with picture evidence) but before that I posted a very quick time for the car

If 40 cars are queuing to go on the track it's going to take at least 40 minutes between each 60 second sprint before you get another run at it.

Don't get me wrong the social aspect will be good as with Llandow, but I dont think the spectacle is going to be as good or exciting.


I think things can get bigger and better than Llandow, not smaller - people here can afford trackdays as they can afford spending thousands on their car.

You will have other things to do during your waiting time, I was topping up my fuel after each run to save weight, it was also a good time to view other cars and see how they are taking the turns compared to me.

I can 110% say it was more fun than Llandow as it was competative where as llandow was just for fun. I was like the "star in the car" on Top Gear waiting for my time to be posted.

People do spend thousands on their cars however that doesnt mean they have the money to spend on an expensive track day, this is a cheap form of competative motorsport that people can enjoy without the risk of hitting other cars.

This sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Wish I could get my car on a track like that. :drive:

Set up for some good video so that us abroad can enjoy all the action. ;)

I personally think thats the wrong attitude to have.

Yeah its smaller than Donnington, and it is far away (not for you it wasnt) but i can assure you that if you ask everyone that was there, if they had fun, then im pretty damn sure they did.
The whole day was a laugh.

Llandow is a great litle circuit, it seems you think you are a better driver than what you are, and not going proved this.

Would you do Knockhill if Sam organised it, or is it to far and to small of a circuit, compared to Donnington?

What are you banging on about?

4 hours drive there and back is a long way no matter how you look at it. You travelled twice the distance.

So what?

I've heard many times now about your amazing journey, well done.

Yes, in the videos I watched it looked pretty small and with that and the distance amongst other things put me off.

Dan has freely admitted that he thought it looked boring at first too. Had a go at him yet?

I have no doubt that you all had a great time, I would of loved to have been there if it was closer.

And what has preferring one track over another got to do with driving skill and who are you to tell me that not going to a trackday proves my driving abilities are actually inferior to what I believe them to be?

ROFL, get a grip.

Another reason I did not go was cost. I could see the costs getting out of control for me personally. I spent like £300 just on track fuel last time I on track, nevermind fuel getting there!

I don't know who you think you are judging me about my driving ability when you don't know all the circumstances as to why I did not go.

Get a grip of reality and don't knock ya head when you fall of ya high horse eh.

How about you all shut the fuck up about Llandow and concetrate on whether or not you want to attend the sprint day, this is not a petty argument thread.

300quids worth of fuel out on track? what were you driving? an 20litre chevy?

Seriously, i traveled 3 hours there. Cost me £16 of fuel each way and a tank of fuel on track, so basically about £70 fuel for the weekend.

LOL i will wait for the replies to your thread Gee, its gonna be messy hehe.

It was an open pit lane day, out as much as you as you wanted, 9 till 5 with 1 hour break for lunch.

The on site super unleaded was very expensive too, so probably had something to do with it.

Sam do you think you would be able to find out what sort of access we can get around the track?? Would be really helpful as I plan on spending most my time track side I have a few months and a few track days before this so should be able to get pics as good as Mikes… plus I will have my new camcorder :D

Anyway how do we get to warm the cars up to do a lap sprint, then cool down waiting for your next lap and bloast it round again?

We're looking at £60 for a weekday sprint event this summer, they are getting us a price for a weekend and still waiting on available dates.
