Yup, it's pretty good. Initially doesn't look much, but if you grow a pair then it suddenly gets very interesting  :happy2:

Reading up, most saying it is the slippiest ( made up word ) track in the UK when wet.  :driver:

Yes, it's like ice. Do it. Do it. Do it.

Oh, and you need to do Oulton with us on the 9th of Nov.  :happy2:

Hmmm that was the date last year at Oulton, when i spun it first lap early morning in the bone dry ( i thought )  :laugh: between Druids and Warwick bridge. Had a day there couple of weeks back full wet and had a major traction control moment a bit further down the straight.  :surprised:

If i go to Oulton again this year i am driving from Druids to Lodge with my Hazards at 20 MPH.  :sick:  :party:

Driven here a few times with BMW (M3 and CSL's mainly) and it's a great circuit once you can put it all together, and very fast too.

The first chicane onto the infield coming off the banking is an awesome corner!!  :driver:

Do it!!

It depends on th track layout the use

I love the International Long Circuit but wasnt a fan of the shorter National or Super Sports car circuit.

On the latter circuits I got fed up of having to move out the way for Caterhams running slicks which IMO spoiled the day for me
