Your thoughts and experiences on the above 3 tracks as I will be having a go round these next year when my car is ready.

I've read up on these and watched a few videos any pointers of your experience of these please.

Donnington would be the better one to start off with as it's got plenty of run off

Thumbs up

Donington a good all round circuit and Craners is wicked, great to even start out on

Snetterton, another safe ish circuit but found a bit boring and left wanting more power. Although not done it since changed to 300 track, it may have improved. but also a bit @@@@ to get to from my side of the world

Oulton bar far the better drivers circuit but not quite as forgiving as the others as Donny and Oulton are simular distance for me, the early days if there was a choice I'd go to Donny, now I'd go to Oulton

although "Safe" is relative and just as good or bad as you drive it driven badly on ANY circuit will be harmful to metal boxes LOL

IMHO

I've only driven Oulton Park, a great driver's circuit.
The approach to and then Lodge Corner followed by Deer Leap is unforgetable, once over Deer Leap you are into the pit straight,but it's not straight !!

I've been a Spectator at Donnington but never driven it.
