Anyone else racing, if so whats the circuit like, lots of corners to sprint out of or is it more like castle coombe with no tight bends?

Oh and why did it decide to rain today of all days, lets hope it drys out by tonight!!!

    Like Castle Coombe. Wide, virtually flat and usually windy. Good races - well run and popular events.

    Good luck and enjoy!

    As above, loads of tarmac, 1 or 2 barely noticable inclines and normally blowing a gale! Most of the circuit normally dris quite quickly but there are a fair few puddles left behind!

    Ah well it'll be a bit of a laugh, i'll just sit in the wheels and avoid the wind until the sprint :wink: :roll:

    Great laugh tonight, rounded off with being in the mix for the sprint finishing in 10 or 11th place, happy with that for my 2nd race in 20 years

    Hell yeah, really enjoyed it, was amazed at how much my fitness had improved since Castle Coombe on Good Friday, I managed a couple of jumps off the front and felt good all the way round, just gotta get my sprint tactics and positioning sorted now.
