Not a bad track, went down to rockingham a few weeks back, very very impressive circuit. Which circuit? Full or the national one? I forget what the smaller circuit's called.

And when you go into the circuit there's a sign saying "trackday traffic" which points right. I followed that, went down a little dirt track that went behind the stands, fair enough I thought. Must be the way to the paddock.

Carried on down this dirt path thinking wow this track must be huge, until eventually, I came to civilisation again, tarmac, seating and signs for the pits. Turned out that dirt path leads /all/ the way around the outside of the circuit and I'd done a full circle.

we were on the national circuut, it all went nicely apart from my NC24 deciding to die the day before the trackday, i had to hire a 636, shame.. Laughing , i got a big wobble on in the long left hander where i think i pushed it a bit too far over, mate hurt his ankle on the bandit from toe slider action which caught and pulled his foot off the peg, and vic lowsided on the hairpin, 3 of our 6 sessions got red flagged, i got a bollocking for doing another lap instead of going in the wrong end of the pit lane which was what the guy was trying to get me to do. (i thought it was one way!), people were jumping off their bikes all over the place though, i think because the inters were full we got a lot of inters and advanced people in the novice group, one guy got moved to the inters as the speed he was going was just too fast to have novices on the track with and he was still fastest in the inters!, all in all a good day though.
