We've got a 20% off code. (i'm sure we can share)

@Welsh Muffin is just looking into when she'll book for, I think for sure the 8th or 9th of Aug is likely as it's her Birthday just after then.

Blimey. Have the prices shot up?

Nopes... that's where they've been for last couple of years at Silverstone.

Like in your Focused days, they run things very differently in terms of number and instruction. E.g Low numbers and lots of instruction, not instructors, but instruction, actively helping people both on and off track and 50% of the number of riders on track compared to a No Limits day... it's a whole different dynamic to some TDOs and it shows in terms of the riders, riding etc.

No thanks, don’t like the circuit and has zero draw for me to ride on the bike I have. Didn’t like going there when I was with Bemsee as a marshal either

I find that slightly bizarre

I went there coz it was free. Can't say it's a place I enjoy. There's no corner that I can get excited about and enjoy going round.

I prefer undulating circuits with challenging bends.

Just my opinion.

I'd love to as I've never ridden there - watched a mate and he loves it.

But - totally can't commit to anything track right now. Gotta get through winter and the metal removal, then I'll see!

Track time is VERY hight on my list of 2023 things (but then it has been since late 2017)

Ok i'll explain, if i went there on the bike i have i would be getting passed left right and centre by all sorts of sportsbikes as its a circuit designed for F1 therefore high speed so spending most of my time wondering where the next flypast is coming

When i marshalled there on every occasion (Copse corner) it was the only circuit on the calendar i dozed off at as it was again designed for F1 so huge run off areas before you get to any gravel or grass allowing mistakes to be made and saved and get back onto the track again so bugger all for the marshals to do unlike Cadwell, Brands, Oulton and even Snetterton. To me the place has no "character" and doesnt interest me in riding it unlike Cadwell, Brands, Oulton and even Snetterton.

That's not the case as most people are pussys. I was in the top 3 in novice on a 690 with a top speed of sub 120mph.

I got bollocked in same group on my xsr
