Title: The UK's best national circuit

With there being several different junior formulae in Britain racing on different tracks nearly all year round, which do you feel provides the best action and provides the biggest challenge?

I feel that Oulton Park provides a great challenge due to the nature of the circuit, with dips and rises, and difficult corners to master


PS Sorry if I have missed out on certain tracks - there's alot to remember!

Mallory Park and Mondello Park for instance <peek>

I think if one is driving,then they all offer some kind of challenge <think>
Castle Combe would be my choice <thumbsup>

Pembrey is a superb circuit to test out both the novice and experienced driver. Includes a 172 degree hairpin as the first corner, and a double apex left hander which tightens up half way around.

Mondello, over in Ireland, is a cracking track, particularly the international one. Drivers get no relaxation here.

I haven't been to the new anglesey yet, but the old one was brilliant too for spectators, and something of a challenge for the drivers.

Thruxton is a high speed circuit with a nasty sting in it's tail (the chicane at the end of the lap)

Silverstone National is a little flat, but there's some great chances for some high speed running. It's not a great track for the spectators though.

I think the only way you can really judge a track for the most challenging is to get out there and drive it, and for that, you need a tame racing driver...

Silverstone National tends to show good racing in something such as Vees tho due to the slipstreaming [see an old MN with their "top races" for the year].

Mallory + stock hatches = great fun!
