Anglesey track day

Post by tonyg » Tue Dec 27, 2016 2:41 pm

Anyone done the above?

I was just watching the video link from the Caterham 620s on Pistonheads and it looks like a nice track in a nice location.

Good track but hard on heavy cars. A proper pain in the ass to get to also.

Aye. Tough luck on you Porsche types. :-)

Treat the journey as a road trip and enjoy the North Wales scenery...

Done it once and thought it was a great track. Having seen it from the coast nearby before on prior holiday, I thought it would be flat, as the headland it's on seems that way. Far from it! The corkscrew bit is as three dimensional as you can get! :)

When I went I linked it up with a day at Oulton, leaving a day in between. Worked well and as Campbell says, there's good scenery and driving through the hills in between. Made the trip a lot more worthwhile than all the way just for Anglesea, although it's a nice place to visit for a few days quite apart from the track.

Yep my trip was a dbl header with Oulton too. Well worthwhile.

Coastal layout is the one to do on a trackday.
International layout misses out the corkscrew and substitutes a full throttle/heavy braking blast to a hairpin and back (maybe adds overtaking opportunities and ok if big power but ruins the flow imo and the corkscrew is one of the most fun and unique sections).
Some proper fast and ballsy corners, church in the wet or flat in the dry...ooft!
