18/04/2010 17:18:22 prb A few points for our anticipated visit to "The Friendly Circuit". I was at a bike track day there last week for the second time and stayed at the Comfort Inn at Earl Shilton. Big car park, very friendly staff and cheap at £30 for the night. A little tired around the edges and a bit of a rabbit warren but a co-located Asian restaurant and reasonable bar means I will be arriving early the previous evening! It is only a couple of miles from the circuit. The circuit has no garages but a large surfaced paddock. Hopefully the cafe will be open for us which provided reasonable fare. The biggest shock was petrol at £1.80 a litre - make sure you top up before you arrive! I was caught short by TomTom taking me to someone's garden when I asked it for the nearest petrol station. The circuit is quite short and relatively quick, so hopefully we won't have too many on track at once; a balancing act I know but I am sure the Team will have it sorted. Bear in mind that once the circuit is active there is no access to the centre area, so a late arrival may mean spectating until lunch time. Rgds, Paul Bryson
