General / Off-Topic Track Days and Karting

Yup - full circuit, including Shell Oils hairpin.

Had a look at the circuit website, and it seems to be showing the original Knickerbrook as part of the circuit. Didn't think they used that these days; I'm used to using Hislops (which I actually like). Not complaining of course (it would be an interesting new experience), just curious is all...

Actually, looking at it a bit closer they seem to have some gravel traps they didn't have last year... is that right?

Not sure about new gravel traps but I'm pretty sure that the circuit will use Hislops rather than Knickerbrook. If I remember correctly, it's only bikes that use the latter.

Quick update from me as the Oulton Park trackday is only a week and half away now.

I will probably only make it there mid to late morning (wee man to get sorted before I can come along). I'll be in or next to the Bookatrack garages as they look after my car. My car should be easy to spot by the way - it's a red bathtub with an engine and wheels bolted on plus a "JJ" plate on the back (see avatar).

Looking forward to meeting a few of you in the flesh!

I like to arrive early at these things and look forward to drivers' briefings with a passion! We'll be there shortly after 8. I'll be in the black Boxster.
