I know it's a long way for you guys, but it is the most beautifull , thrilling racetrack in the world
normaly it's pretty expensive to ride there , but once a year there is one orgasisation that has a cheaper trackday. this year it'll be on the 7th off octobre. costs 160 euro for 5 sessions off 30 min's.
Don't know if anyone here might be interested ? if so, you could come over the day before, and stay overnight at my place. it's about an hour and a half drive from my place to the track.
I really love this track, it wasn't a good year for me if I haven't ridden it that year. I thinck everyone should have ridden there at least once. but if you do, you'll wanna come back only downside : don't come if you haven't got rain-tires , cause the track has it's one micro-climat (rain might pour down on one part off the track, while the other is bathing in sunshine)
wanna learn/see the track ? http://www.vimeo.com/4800460 , video is from the fastest Belgian amatueur-racer
interested ? pm me for more details

. Liked the video. You could actually see the counter steering as he was turning Right but those straights look like a 250 would get mudered on there

well, I'd love to. maybe when the kids are grown up and left the house, I might come over and do a "tour off famous brittish circuits" , but that won't happen for another 10-15 yearsthe-elf wrote: but those straights look like a 250 would get mudered on there
I've run there on my KR1, as a streetfighter so no fairing. (when I go with the KR, I always go in a less experienced group then me. the longest straight (after the hill) is actually still climbing, so mine managed only about 170 km/h , while 1000's go over 250 km/h there , so it was quite a speed-difference . but the real fun is coming down again at the back off the circuit, and passing all those diesels again
