The Prodrive one is pretty steep, but fairly short. Fun though

There is a high speed bowl in France, I have driven on it twice and it is around the size oh Millbrook or maybe even a little bigger. Name escapes me at the moment but can find out if you need to know.

Having a go on the Rockingham oval on Friday, which should be interesting.

Cool

All of the above are good options provided you don't mind a modern circuit. If you want an older one with more character, try Montlhery (near Paris). Awesome place, lots of character and history, and more than a little bumpy!

If money is no object, why not try Nardo in Italy? I spent a happy 24 hours there in the 80s acting as service for a record attempt. Great fun, new tyres and fuel every 45 minutes! Didn't get to drive it though.
