Looks expensive compared to the 6hr birkett endurance

The place is owned by Bernie - do you expect it to be cheap ? 😬

 

To be fair, it is the most immaculate and well prepared race circuit in the world, IMHO. The facilities are superb. Everything is spotless, freshly painted, not a hint of rust. No gravel traps, just acres of hard run-off in colour-coded tarmac where the colour indicates the degree of grip/abrasiveness. Makes everywhere else in UK & Europe look very second rate. While it doesn't have breath-taking majesty of Spa, the circuit is very fast and includes some great sweeping corners .e.g end of the main straight, around 140-145mph in a CSR, the right hander is just a lift, or the tinniest dab of brakes if you have the balls

 

The deal includes 45 mins practice, 45 mins qualifying and a three hour race. Plus lunch in the restaurant on Sat & Sun for 4 people - and we aren't talking dodgy burgers & chips either ! Its aimed at two drivers per car although a few brave souls do it alone.

 

I've been there for the last two years and always had a good time - it has quite an international flavour to it with sevens from all over Europe competing.
