Wanting to get a day in before Castle Combe in September.
So I need some help in decideing where to go as I'm not sure what to do.
I have a choice of two to decide on.
Both full days.

Donington park £145 3 groups sessioned
Bedford gt £139 open pit

distance don't bother me at all, Bedford takes 2 hrs to get too, Donington tkes 3 1/2 hrs.

I done donnington before Christmas, which was damp and I want to go back with more chance of it being dry, but been there before and I do like trying new tracks.


Which one do you think?

And Bedford gt is the huge track which is about 3 miles long, which would be fun to try and learn.

I'm right near Bedford, though I've never been to the track.

I'd reckon you're about right on 2 hours given how long it usually takes me to Reading and that Farnborough is a bit further South. Maybe just under 2 hours if you give it some beans.

Well that idea has gone straight out the window!

The bastards at work wont let me have the time off as they have booked in appointments for me that day and I cant move them. so..........

Now going to book up for Snetterton on the 31st August £149.
Its a bit of a power circuit, but I will still try and give the big boys a run for their money.

Well just booked up for Donnington on bank holiday Monday 31st August.

I've wanted to go back there since doing it in the damp just before Christmas, hopefuly it will be dry this time round.

Just hope it dont break so I cant do Combe.
