Yes if you work on your lines tyre wear should not be over agressive

Brands Indy is a good circuit for newbees, simple to learn Its also good for experianced people, hard to master.

Brands is pretty good on tyre wear, but as stated will depend on your style, it doesnt promote an agressive attack to the corners, smoothness keeps the corner speeds up here.

I wouldnt worry about a mix of experiance, the more experianced should be well versed in giving the newbees room and passing where its safe, what you should fear are newbees that think they are experianced, thats where it gets messy for them and whoever is nearby.

I fancy popping down to this, also in the company car.

Is there any spaces for spectators on this as I'm not too sure that I want to take me car round.

But I would love to come for the day and maybe take a few pictures myself.

Hopefully I'll have me new camera by then.

i've been out in it and my god would love to again. scarey to start with as you wonder how it goes as fast as it does and how it stays on the road while it does it.

perhaps £15 if 3 laps, £5 a lap
