In the UK, Oulton park ..... ups and downs as well as side to sides! :-)

Had a really good day at keevil a few weeks back though! Not very interesting, but loads of run off so felt safe to push the boundaries a bit.

A bit further a field, but BY FAR the most fun ive ever had on a track is Spa ..... Fast, flowy, hilly, big ***** circuit! Bit of a car killer if you go unprepared though.

Oulton park is one of my favourites too, one reason being that it's the closest track to me! Not been outside the UK but further a field, in the UK, it has to be Cadwell park

Taking my 93 WRX to the Nurburgring, when I am happy it stands the least chance of not failing whilst there lol

Not been to any of the UK tracks yet, but the best circuit for me is spa-francorchamps - it's a beautiful varied track and very fast.

Nurburgring is stunning, such length and variety in a single lap, plenty of ups and downs and camber changes too. Been 3 times before and going again in a few weeks

In the UK, Goodwood is my favourite that i've done. Fast sweeping corners, slowest point is a 3rd gear chicane

Without doubt Oulton Park.
Best bit is Lodge Corner into Deer Leap and down the pit straight.

I'm heading to Oulton park on the 25th of June. Hopefully getting a track day in, in May, if the car is back together!

Cadwell park in the Uk, but Spa is an amazing track and I can't wait to go back, and as mentioned above it IS a car killer......... The ring is good but the public days are not that good anymore IMO as it just spends half the time closed, the next time I go there it will be a closed track day.

Blyton before it was re-surfaced.... I learnt what my car can really do when pushed.
That would include a wet kerb induced spin at 70 mph, my passenger sh*t himself.....

Really, Cadwell, Oulton, Donnington followed by my favourite "track" - The whole of the North Pennines !

Especially my favourite run from Barnard Castle up to Kielder Forest.

Bruntingthorp - Nothing quite like imitating one of the Red Arrows when your engine pops doing 150mph on the huge straight...
