CADWELL PARK OR ROCKINGHAM

[billinom8s]

Just wondering, out of all of you on the site that have done these 2 tracks which one did u feel was better and why ?

have the budget andtime to do one of these over the summer and am looking for some advice as have not been to either.

thanks

not done cadwell its on my lists of tracks I want to see - most people who have done it rave about it. Whichever choice you make you wont be dissapointed would be my guess.

Rockingham is one of my favourite tracks and the one I have gone back to the most.

the thing about it is that someone elses personal preference might not turn out to be be yours...I personally prefer both versions of Rockingham to Donnington or silverstone....one mans meat is another mans murder and all that.

If you have seen neither I would make the choice on which has the most conveniant available day and which is less hassle to get to or sort accomodation for. I would also make the choice based on the TDO rather than the track. If one of the dates your considering was No limits and the other wasn't I would pick the no limits date.

rockingham is just up the road from me, looks good on paper and from a couple videos I've seen. definitely going to do it this year.

Cadwell cadwell cadwell !!!

Not that I'm biased towards the place but if I didn't enjoy living in the s west I'd move to lincolnshire just to be near the place. Such a wonderful place to ride and so much fun all round,the place has so much character and takes a few sessions to learn

Both myself and layne have onboard footage from cadwell, mines up on youtube inc the infamous deej roll n tumble lol

Not been round Rockingham only above!

But prefer up and downy tracks to flat ones like Donington and Olton as opposed to Silverstone and Pembrey.
Adds an extra dimension. Cadwell is quite tight and technical (plus needs some balls in places) . Once you’ve done it once you want to go back to try harder. The distance can be a problem but you didn’t ask that.



Above Rockingham:

where have you been before mate and which circuit did you enjoy most as that would make your choice easier

i prefer donny over silverstone
oulton is ace but cadwell is just special and i dont know why,theres just somethong unique about the place
mallorys a suprisingly good little circuit too

[jason]

a difference between the two is rockingham has the plus of power for tyre warmers over cadwell if that matters to you.

[billinom8s]

i dont have warmers so not really an issue.

i have only done llandow and pembrey before although i'm doing donnington this summer


got to say its looking more like cadwell, looks a fun circuit.

[deej]

Once you do cadwell you'll never want to do llandow again

[billinom8s]

O-by-the-way

I take no responsibility for any injury, damage or excursions.

Last time Kye went off onto the grass so many times we have changed his name to Mr Flymo.

That's a good price too for a july date,if pembrey wasn't so close I'd book up myself !

Cadwell every time Sure, Rockingham's facilities are probably top-notch, but it's the track that matters, you don't ride the garage or the power supply....
My list of fave tracks is Cadwell at No.1, Brands GP and the new Anglesey Coastal tied close behind at No.2, and Oulton Park close behind them. After these, I'd say it's Donington National, Pembrey, Silverstone GP, Mallory, Llandow, and way way way behind them in a distant last place; Darley Moor - hated racing at that place

just in case anyones interested me just managing to hang on as the bike does its best to highside me coming off the oval at rocky international...short clip but shows the oval banking which is always impressive

1. Anglesey coastal
2. Rockingham national
3. Rockingham international
4. Pembrey
5. Donnington
6. Silverstone
7. llandow
