id love to do one just too afraid of wrecking my daily commuter. Friend at work does drift days in a old 5 series. 10 quid as a passenger that kind of kills the urge !!

I will double check but a lot of sites do allow people to be spectators.

Passengers are allowed here its £10-00 plus £10-00 for a helmet hire (unless you have your own (bike helmets are not good enough))

You are more than welcome, the only downside is you have to talk about cars a lot :)

Track opens at 7-30, There is a drive round at 09-30 so we can get used to the track and getting on and off. Actual track driving starts at 09-45 and finishes at about 4pm (or later subject to light and weather).
Lunch is between 12-30 and 13-30 (when we all rush off to get more fuel) and there is no driving then.

There are toilets, Showers and Canteen on the site, last track day with these guys there was also free tea and coffe.

Not so sure that’s correct re the helmet buddy.
You can wear a proper motorbike helmet
There is not much difference tbh.
All our helmets are from pro bike shops.
Mines an AGV
What you can’t wear is a motocross style helmet with extended chin bar.
Likewise, no open faced helmets If driving an open top car.

This is a small track but it packs an awfull lot in. i will put up a vid latet but its very different (in a good way) to the other tracks i have done.

there is no fuel on site and there are not many super unleaded petrol stations in the area but they do provide a sheet with detail of location. Morrison's is close but only 95Ron and they dont open till 09-00.
There is a local station but it does not open on a Sunday so be warned and check if you are going.

Toilets are basic. food is good and its typical Lincolnshire open and windy and the reason there is no static testing is because the neighbors do not like it in the morning so happy to just use the drive buy testing. They Run a single warning and then off system

Good mix of track cars and people like me. this track is run anti clockwise and you overtake on the right. Lots off run off but the concrete edges in winter are not good to use seen a few guys spinning

No it was one of the Lotus 7 / Caterums, but they did a good job cleaning it up so we could all get back out again.
