I've done the Indy circuit in a 3 series BMW and an open-wheeled Formula Junior. That first corner (Paddock) is off-camber and many crashes there. Swiftly followed by the Druids hairpin. Would not want to do it on a bike, but then, I'm a wimp.

P.S. They only ahd one (BIG) helmet that would fit me.

The GP track is awsome, have a great and safe day..and bring back some vids.

Me too was that at the Nigel Mansell school of racing by any chance. I did it when I was 21 which as a few years ago :))

You'll love it... think Cadwell/Donington but on steroids. OK, no mountain but plenty of up and down. I think it's more the UK Nurburg than cadwell ever is :-bd
