Unfortunately not

.

But feel free to e-mail Javelin and suggest it though

I just reckon it's in all our interests to have an alternative to KH - and especially one that provides a very different experience (ie. flat with mainly fast corners). The best way to ensure that EF becomes a regular trackday venue is to support the promoters who take the risk on trying to get an event on there.

Plus, we may grumble at the cost compared to SIDC days, but remember trackday organisers in England (like Javelin) are businesses who have to make a margin. The SIDC are not...and KH can afford to stick HM days in whenever their diary has a gap in it (and don't have to pay track-hire costs). Therefore EF will never be as cheap as KH I'm afraid

Looks like a good bit of it could be taken flat if you get your lines right. (watch this space

) Plenty of room for big powerslides too if hooning is allowed (watch this space too

)

Spoke to my bike recing mate too. 60 seconds is more like the time to beat on the 1000's.

Actually, I was very surprised how reasonable it was this time round. From memory it was over 150 groats last time for a full day. £89 for a full day TD is good going in anybody's books, so hat's off to them for going with what is obviously a pretty tight margin for them.
