Lydden Hill track walk Sunday 27th Jan

Post by Ralph » Sat Jan 19, 2008 2:04 pm

A group of us are going to do a track walk of Lydden Hill race circuit (between Canterbury & Dover) on Sunday 27th January. We are getting the track specially opened for this. The intention is to walk around the circuit (just over a mile) to find the correct line, braking points, etc. in preparation for a track day that we may be organising on 21st March (Good Friday).

After the track walk we will adjourn to a local hostelry to imbibe some liquid refreshment and possibly satiate our appetites.

We will be meeting at the entrance to the track at around 12 noon. If you would like to attend, please add your name to the list.

Anyone else???? :( It is free folks! Its not gonna cost you anything......and a rare opportunity to walk around a race track all by ourselves.....if you have nothing planned and want a reason to go out for a drive and then drink and meal afterwards then this is it ;)

If anyone wants details on how to get there.....PM me and I will find a location map

Well, a TF did turn up - mine! :D

Interesting track. Quite a rough surface with not single bit of level track. The corners are quite banked as well. Should be great fun overtaking those ZSs in my F ;)
