Are there any circuits in the UK, open to the public a la the Nurburgring? I've not got the cash to drive to Germany and back ):. |
throughout the year. 80quid for half a days testing. Much better value than
a track day and less idiots likely to run into you.

The brakes I don't mind about as I want to put better ones on. Might be a
better idea to do the brakes first :P.

in the best used sportscar test there).
Was there on Monday for a Saab exclusive booked track day.
Also, what about the Isle of Man? Out of town, no speed limits. Won't
get booked for speeding, but they are very heavy on people who drive
like an arse, or push temselves too far. In towns, very strict, so I've
heard. Also no racing, they will hammer you for that too.
Also what about the brighton speed trials, popular wiyth every one from
1920's Rollers and bentley's, through to the Max Saxo VTS crowd?
Also for some spectating, try and see when the New Brighton rally stages
are on?
Don't the Ka Klub organise anything?

but a THOROUGH kicking if you drive in a dangerous/twat-like manner.

This is what the rest of the UK should be like. No speed limits out-of-town, but a THOROUGH kicking if you drive in a dangerous/twat-like manner. |
of their failing, Make the police actually have people on the road, and
reduce funding for the police force? never catch on that.

in taxes to pay for all the extra police required.

So the current system is as good as they can manage, with their current
budget.

So the current system is as good as they can manage, with their current budget. And as has been said before. Safety cameras can't judge safety aspects of driving, only speed. Cameras can judge some safety aspects. I'd ban all people caught by fixed speed cameras for a minimum of six months because if you can't see a luminous yellow box and slow down for it you shouldn't be on the road. Bollocks. I was nearly caught by a camera that I've driven past every day for *months* because a loon hadn't seen me and was trying to change lanes into the space that was occupied by my car, and I was trying to get out of his way... |
