which one - rockingham or cadwell park?
 
so which one is better?

cadwell park - £99 - 105db
rockingham - £149 - 105db

i can pass that noise test after my blunder at brands (hopefully)

but which is a better track, im based in essex, so the £50 i would save choosing cadwell i would then spend in fuel as its over an hour further away.

il leave it to the vote...cheers, rez

ps. heres the link for anyone wanting to go...

Not sure. . . driven round Rockingham in my old MR2 turbo but on a parade thingy not hammering it. Still im looking at doing some track days and both are on my list so which ever you do write a review please let us know your thoughts. Think my first port of call will be Bedford Autodrome wide open so I can learn but luckily for me im based in Northampton and have plenty to choose from!

Good luck!

i done brands, and a dozen laps of the ring (in my civic type R) but only recently did brands in my scooby, not sure what ones are top of the list, but for me its which ever one i can go to because of work, and NOW i have the choice of 2.

grrrrrrrrr, lets see what people say come this evening

There's only one way to find out......

Cadwell Park is a fantastic drivers circuit and would definitely be my choice.:thumb:

Rockingham has much better facilities but is bland and flat.

I'm not sure,but i like shape of Cadwell Park

105dB(i have plan go to Cdwell Park next month or so,but with Nur Spec now i'm not sure:wonder:)

105 is a good noise limit! some are as low as 95, my car made 112 at first, and with a bung 105 @ brands. so i should be ok.

only thing putting me off is the extra hour and 20mins drive to cadwell, so its really down to reviews...cadwell looks more fun as mentioned. might see which one is available after that date,and as mentioned do both. :)

Cadwell every day, my favourite circuit in the UK.

Cadwell Park is a fantastic undulating circuit, nice stretches where you can open up your car, flowing curves to test your suspension, and some twiddly bits just for fun! Not forgetting the damp patches under the trees!

If you book a track day make sure it is the full circuit, not the club (short) circuit.

+1 to all the above. :thumb:

A proper drivers circuit. Have a search on here and youtube for some footage.

Cadwell is awesome and by far the best out of the two. More challenging
