Track Reviews

Silverstone
The home of the British Grand Prix. The Northamptonshire circuit is fast, flat and with a multitude of sub-circuits to choose from. Can be a bit featureless in places.

"THE British Track Day venue, fast, fun and very wide !"

recommended review

I've done the National Circuit before, but that's far too short and not much of a challenge but at least I had a lot of practise at 'Woodcote' and 'Copse'. The full Grand Prix circuit is the one to do, which adds to the event from everything that you may ...

"Got a bit bored here....."

.....another airfield circuit. I think the original layout for the '48 GP would have been interesting with opposing straights towards the centre!!

"Good... but is it worth the money?"

recommended review

Silverstone is a fine circuit (GP circuit was what I used) with very modern facilities, but I'm not sure it thrills and excites as much as some circuits. It is wide and open in places, so feels as if you are the welly boot being thrown down the high stree...

"Feel like Schumi at about 1/4 of the speed."

recommended review

Silverstone, well, it's got to be done hasn't it. At the end of the day, unless you're in something really ballistic it's not very rewarding. Plus points are plenty of run off and excellent facilities, but at a more moderate pace you're hard pushed to fee...

"You have to do it once right?"

recommended review

Right.

But it's a tricky one Silverstone. It's SO fast, and SO wide, that at the speed we mortals drive it's virtually impossible to get the same line on any given corner lap by lap. (Well it is for me... but maybe that's just me). ...
