Lack of run off at parts looks a bit daunting 
- is this the case in real life? (for those who've been there)

Cadwell is great was there last month - lack off run off is most evident on slow twisty bit through the trees, plenty run off on the open fast bits although it is grass therefore you might not stop before hitting something. A pair of 911s got lightly trashed for that reason. Never felt too intimidating in Exige though, but I have not been there in the wet.....Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 1:19 pm
There are alot of places that you could have a big accident at Cadwell, but it is a great track, and aslong as you remember the lack of run off, you will have a great time.

Hi Ross
You dont really notice when you drive it,but and Exige back ended the armco last week when I was there,on the jump ? Not sure how ,but he did.
Fantastic track
It has it all,fast sweepers,and tight and twisty,it really is great.
I can recomend the all in 1 day trip,leave 3.30 am ,track day,and back home for 9.30pm.

One for the future methinks

The armco and lack of run off didnt bother me as much as I thought it might, even in the wet. I think subconciously you back off more than you realise.

Come to think of it - how did the run off compare to Teesside?
Been there in the pishing rain and wasn't phazed at all...

Similar but Cadwell is at much higher speed.

Was Shug's off at the bend at 1:10 on the vid?
Or am I best not to mention Shug's off?
Off, what off?
Perfectly safe track - no problems with runoff......

Its a blinding track you big dandy - get down there!
This and Outlon are my faves at present - Cadwell has some awesome sections, known as the Uk's answer to the Ring (albeit it a fraction of the size!).
Think there's only a couple of places to have an off - different prospect though if its very wet.
