Oulton Park

Post by r055 » Mon Jul 27, 2009 2:43 pm

I met Craig down in Oulton Park on Saturday to watch the elise trophy races...

...anyway, it looks like a cracking track for the lotus. Im sure most of the SE1 crew (or 'SE Seniors') have been, so what's you opinion on it? Would it be a nice progression up from Knockhill?

I thought it was awesome, hampered only by the rain and snow :lol:

Would love to go back in the dry. Took benny out for some laps and think he was sh*t it as much as I was :lol:

its epic - did my first ever race there, and have been in live with the track ever since.

Such a mix of corners, elevations, grip, its all there.

Thinking of going on 12/12 with Lot for an end of season road trip :thumbsup

I love it. I did my 1st race in time attack there earlier in the year. Absoultely loved it. It has all the ingredients of a great circuit. Its pretty hairy in the wet though. I would not let that put you off.

As jj says it is an awesome track but I was bricking it in the rain and snow on the DP tour so didnt achieve that may laps for fear of kissing the armco

Would love to do it again but hopefully on a dry track
