    Hi stu , I've been when it first opened , but only to look . It was built as a state of the art racing circuit . The BSB boys went and slagged it off after one race and refused to race there ever again ! , I think the track was quite rippled in places and caused the bikes to handle bad , they thought it was dangerous .... I'm sure it's perfect for the average trackday rider as the BSB boys are a in a different league . It's quite a demanding track apparently , all twisting and turns no big straights

    Have a great time

    I did the National circuit which was way too short for my liking.
    From what I can recall it felt a bit bigger than Three Sisters, but nowhere near as big as Oulton Park.
