As per the title really. This is obviously a very personal question and some people seem to get a bit heated in expressing the reason why their favourite track is better than yours! There are a limited number of poll options you can have so I've picked the most common ones from posts I've seen in this forum. Obviously some people will have only done one or two of them, and I'd be surprised if anyone's done them all.
So, what's your favourite UK track, and why?
Which have I done? Brands, Cadwell, Donington, Mallory, Oulton, Rockingham and Silverstone.
My favourite? Donington. The reasons? The smooth, flowing corners and the way the track flows. Some tracks are disjointed but Donington fits together perfectly. Blasting through Craner Curves gives an awesome feeling |

I've done Lydden, Snetterton, Cadwell, Silverstone and Croft.
Cadwell and Snetterton are my favourites, they're so different that I couldn't choose between them but enjoy them both in completely different ways. Snett's fairly short and to me seems to be more 'aggressive'. Cadwell's long and I seem to veer more towards the 'smooth and thoughtful' when I'm up there.
Would love to do Croft again cos it fell somewhere inbetween the two but it's so far away that it's never going to be a frequent thing.
Never been that keen on Silverstone but it's near so 'meh' I'll keep doing it when it's a bargain. Only done Lydden the once, will reserve judgement until I do it again in a couple of weeks cos I wasn't impressed the first time but it was my first day.
Should really do some more circuits next year. |

Overall it's got to be Silverstone for me. It's relatively close, the facilities are excellent, the track is wide with stacks of runoff, and it's so long and with enough linked technical bits that you can keep yourself entertained for hours.

Lydden for me, got a good range of corners and easy to learn, etc.
Do really like cadwell as well and am determined to 'conquer' brands . |

Only done Snetterton so far and it was a good track to learn on, even if my engine was choked at the neck. ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

I've done Snetterton, Oulton (wet and dry ), Mallory and Donnington.
Out of all of them it has to be Donnington, for the same reasons that Silver mentioned, but Oulton (in the dry) is a beautiful little track too, Old Hall being my favourite place in the world at the moment - double apex'd right hander? nah, just spot the second apex and hold the throttle open , unfortunatly it also has my most hated corner on it too
I plan on Cadwell and Monza (hopefully) next year, might just have a go at Rockingham too ____________________ You will become my force of retribution. Where you tread, doom will follow. Go now and claim your destiny |

i`ve only done silverstone gp and brands indy and found brands to be the slower but by far the more enjoyable due to the fact you get more chance to learn the corners (as your going round them a lot more times per session ) hope to get one more in before the end of the season and do more next year ____________________ they say life begins at 40 but i think it begins at 140 !!!!!!!

I personally love Mallory Park, even if they have just modified Gerrards corner with a new chicane!
I practice there alot on Wednesdays and really enjoy riding there! ____________________ TL1000R Parts For Sale! |

would it be possible if you could add Mondello Park (since it is in the BSB calender) and also Kirkistown, Nutts Corner, Bishopscourt (In Northern Ireland)?
Has anyone been on those tracks?
I've never been on a track in the UK but that cherry will be popped this season. ____________________ www.ajhutchracing.com |
