MadManMike Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Llandow? Small, tight track apparently, must be relatively close to you? It's a cheap track, I'd like to take mine there. I think Adam has a different opinion, if my memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlly21 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Llandow is 2 and a half hours away, looks ideal though Unfortunately I am only 19 and it said on there website you have to be 20 ? Does this account on every track or is it just a shitty welsh rule or something ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've never heard of anything like that before! Must be something to do with their insurance... I've not been to Llandow, it looks 'OK' but tends to kill front left tyres apparently, which makes sense looking at the track layout. Definitely cheap though, and should be a bit more relaxed than the 'proper' circuits. How far is Anglesey for you? It has more run off than Oulton and will be cheaper, but the track surface is fairly abrasive and hard on tyres if its dry. I'd say both Anglesey and Oulton have a good mix of fast and slow stuff, you'd enjoy either and as long as the car has fresh fluids it will easily take the 'abuse'. Just be prepared to get the bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlly21 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anglesey is 3 hours !!! Looks like oulton it is What sort of wear should be expected on tyres in dry conditions ? Also brake pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sounds good Tyres... You will mostly feather the edges of the tread blocks, but if you 'budget' for about 2mm wear on the fronts that should do you just fine. Rears will hardly wear apart from the outer edge of the left rear. Brake pads varies quite a lot depending on a few things, but half material should be plenty. Worst case pop out to a motor factors and grab a new set at lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sheehan Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 What's oulton park like for a first timer track ? Thinking of doing a novice day sometime and it is possibly the closest, any other suggestions for a first timer ? Pretty lairy, but I guess they all are. Where abouts are you? Maybe Bedford autodrome depending on your driving abilities and confidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Have you ever been to harewood hillclimb tart? The red munter would look good there if it can handle going up hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I haven't, I don't know if it would actually get up the hill Plus hillclimbing / sprinting is just a case of who has the biggest wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Actually considering going BT, Nick, or just general momentary power dreams? Still trying to work out whether to stick with standard k04 on mine or not. At present funds don't really allow for too much spending so need to see where finances stand in a few months and make the call really.

Mark W Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'd forgotten about that. Sitting in it and getting driven around was fun, but f**k sitting on the bonnet.
