Can't make either, but keep your wits about you at Cadwell - the best track I've driven, but she takes no prisoners!

Cadwell Park is great fun. Seriously good fun track, very fast and flowing. I'm meant to be working that day but might try and jiggle my shifts to make it.

Rockingham is a soul less track in the extreme. Did a day on the international long circuit (same one to be used on the BaT day). It was sessioned, so amounted to about 2 hours track time, but to be honest, that was more than enough for me. Obviously its a big track, and the little lotus's feels lost on it, but it was just very plain and boring. IMHO, after the first 2 hours are past where you are still learning the circuit, you will be wanting to pack up and head off home.

Saying that, we wangled a free day on the handling circuit at rockingham and it was great fun, but only because you could really hoon.

Mondays are a mare mate.

Interesting about Rockingham I had heard that there were some very nice fast corners

I am booked for both now think there are only 6 places left for the Cadwell day
