Title: 20th May Abingdon Airfield day with Motorsport Events
Post by: wacky on 03, May, 2016, 01:35:21 AM
Hi

I'm booked on this (and on their Thruxton circuit day on 24th June).

Is anyone else booked?  I've not done Abingdon before (and not driven at Thruxton for 15+ years).

Cheers
Tony

Too soon for me, no trailer yet. Nice and cheap though that one.

Wacky,

I cant join you on this one as I am away on another adventure that day but I can tell you this is interesting circuit. 

It is an airfield like so many.  It is Anticlockwise which is very rare and that is bit harder with the driver weight on the outside of the bend.  Have respect for the short straight with the soil bank behind it - not a good place to lose it.  A Beemer was totalled on the day I was there.  When you finish a session they encourage you to use the long taxi-way to cruise and cool the car.  Zero facilities so take all you need.

Have a great time!

Regards
Ian
