Basically a new motorsport venue just north of Gainsborough, I'm please because it's only about 40 minutes away from me.

Maybe not a typical Clio venue as it's....... well lets face it there's lots of straights and it's almost completely flat. But hey looks pretty fun.

Close to my parents, really looking forward to having a go there.

Just need to get the wheels changed around and cage in first.

 

[Keil]

Only resurfaced in March though, prior to that it was a bit rough.

 

[Keil]

Used to be a Club GTI favourite when it was an airfield track day type event. Prices used to be dirt cheap back then, £25 per car. But you would get some serious stone chips. New tarmac looks nice, i posted a similar thread on Club GTI when i had the email from Javelin a few weeks back about it.

 

[Keil]

quite looking forward to it, especially with it been more or less on my doorstep!

 

[Keil]

anyone else taking the trip out today?? sun is shining? be good to see a few members down there flying the flag!

 

[Ed...]

Where and what time are you going to be there from?

 

[GrumpyTwig]

Been and went already Woody, was a bit cold to say the least.

It shows potential to be a good venue though the track's very thin, hopefully they might widen it a bit.

There's quite a bit more they need to do facility wise and more specifically spectator facilities (there are none).

Nice to have a motorsport venue a bit closed to me though.

 

[Keil]

nice to meet you today mate! was bloody cold haha

shame about the facilities, hopefully theyll do something with it! be a shame if not!!
