Have you been there Wurzel, and if so have you driven UK tracks before?
The easy answer is the fascination isnt just about the track. Its about ''the place''.
Where else can I go to a circuit, speak to friends from Germany, America, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Belgium etc etc .....the list goes on. When the track closes you retire to the local pub for a meal, beer and mull over the days activities, that doesnt happen with UK tracks. Each time you meet new people, they become friends and you see them again and again ......
The circuit itself is hard to learn and pretty much impossible to master. Cars such as the humble 205 doing battle on an even keel with 911''s. Yes there are sections where 130bhp cars can hassle well driven 400bhp cars.
At the end of the day though its not JUST a track day, its a holiday with many friends .......
Have you heard anyone who has been there say they hated the place?
