Raced at Llandow a few times, it's good fun and if you're a petrol head, you'll really enjoy it.

If you're serious about it, I'd suggest going further afield to Brands/Silverstone/Donington for an even better experience.

I did a single seater experience in Pembrey going back some 7/8 years now, thoroughly enjoyed it. Obvioisly being as light and powerful as they are the acceleration is something else, without actually doing it you cant begin to comorehend just how much quicker everything seems when your that close to the ground, would definitely recommend it :thumbup:

You can do. Can do all sorts of different numbers and combinations. I've even done a endurance race.. Teams of 4 take turns to race over a set amount of time. It's great fun, but don't be the one to write it off. :lol:

I'm sure there would be enough interest amongst the board and even Daya could be convinced to join in!!

It depends what you're looking for. If you just do a track day, you can take any car on the track and lap it. No racing though.

If you want to do a driving experience, they provide the cars for you.

Llandow is predominantly a kart track, rather than a full size track. Nearest facilities for the track days are Pembrey circuit & Catle Combe Bristol way.

I'm sure that if we get enough long term interest then we can slow move up the levels and you never know run a forum trip to a formula one event one day :lol:
