    A truly great circuit, world class. Really flatters faster cars, and one of the few circuits you can actually use the higher gears. I wouldnt like to do it in a low powered car as its a track for high speeds.

    Despite being a little underpowered I really enjoyed this circuit. The hardcore trackday crowd may well complain it's too easy as the track is very wide and has plenty of run off but don't let that put you off. Very slippery in the wet though...

    We all got wet, and most of us found mud, gravel or grass at some stage. This circuit really does not do rain well... lots of standing water and despite the relative maturity of this (non-bookatrack) crowd, there were several "offs" and red flags. Still - it is historic. It is still cool to use the pit garage that might be used by Ferrari or Williams in a few weeks' time, and to drive the same lines that Michael and Jenson will be doing battle for... I will be back to do this in the dry, and will re-rate the circuit for its layout and interest-factor then.

    Not enough corners for such a huge circuit. Very slippy in the wet. I need to get there again in the dry.

    Well maintained wide track with excellent run off areas! High speed corners and not suited to 4wd cars. Most of the bends are easily visable and infairness anyone could navigate this track, beginner or expert. If you have a rear wheel drive car is excellent for practising drifts, but no advantage to have 4wd - probably disadvantage due to high speed bends. Not worth the premium over other tracks.

    Have done this twice. Once in 73 RS omce in R32 GTR. Verdict: even with 500 BHP this circuit is way tooo fast, too big, starights too long corners too wide. It's too easy, yet the corners are often adverse camber which makes it an understeery circuit. If you've got a lightweight, quick handling motor that wont do more than 150/160 you'll get bored really quickly.
