Alex, how much are the engines!? Wish i could afford to do such a thing

I think that 11 stone is about 70kg? I'm 6ft and.. over 12 stone :| I've lost 1/2 a stone this month alone though, I'm in the middle of some major weight loss!

A new engine of ICC spec but worked on a bit will reguraly cost over £3k. We were lucky, we brought a complete kart and engine off a RICH guy today for £700, but it's easily 5k's worth. We robbed him basically lol.

i believe the top end of pfi was actually desgined using buckmore as the base and the bottom end was designed using another track as the base (does anypne have an idea of that track?)

Alex Hodgkinson · 24 Jun 2005, 18:17 (Ref:1339390)

Maybe shennington?

Its better to be the lightest int he HW then the heaviest in the LW

Nice deal Alex

Welsh Karter · 25 Jun 2005, 21:28 (Ref:1340090)

Of the circuits I have driven (Llandow, Clay, Shenny, Rissy, Milton Keynes, Whilton Mill, Rye House, Buckmore) i'd have to say....

For sheer thrills/danger its gotta be Buckmore Park - Symes Sweep is just awesome

For natural flow - Clay Pigeon, every corner just flows into the next one

I'd also mention Rissy, simply amazing in a Prokart

What about Golspie? The only place wher if you crash - you really will be making sandcastles!

I've never driven at Three Sisters, but that also looks good

BUT - the extension at Llandow will also give it a real ba**s out corner at the bottom of the track, adding extra overall speed to an already technical circuit.

I lyk Clay nd Forest in Minimax. In cadet i lyked forest nd dunks.

Holy crap! Someone else on 10-10ths that has raced at Golspie! LOL. Was racing there just this last weekend!

It's a pretty fun track to drive actually. Nice elevation changes, friendly kerbs, and a good flow. Another good track for slipstreaming duels.

I'm guessing you were there for the Inter Nations back in '99? That was before it was extended. It's now got a huge crest and heavily banked section!

I for one am sure looking forward to the Inter Nations there this year!

crozier74 · 28 Jun 2005, 21:17 (Ref:1342350)

While I'm at it, if I had to rank all the tracks I've raced/driven at:

1) GYG
2) Buckmore Park
3) Rowrah
4) Larkhall
5) Three Sisters
6) Warden Law
7) Kimbolton
8) Golspie
9) Crail
10) PFI
11) Boyndie
12) Raceland (now defunct)
13) Fulbeck

MikeyG · 29 Jun 2005, 15:34 (Ref:1342997)

I voted other. Kimbolten is one of the three best Gearbox running circuits in this country, along with Shenington and Three Sisters. I think it's a shame that PF don't run gearbox on the oval. That'd be answer.

BillyT · 17 Jul 2005, 13:28 (Ref:1357215)

Tested at Lydd yesterday, that track is brilliant. very quick and flowing and going over the crest bit is great almost as good as Buckmore.

Rockmunky · 16 Aug 2005, 10:55 (Ref:1383470)

Well i only live like 2 miles away from Rye house, so that's the only track i've driven so far, but i like it.
Heard good things about buckmore park too..

Tec-Mec 60 · 12 Sep 2005, 20:34 (Ref:1406080)

people tend to slag pf because they arent quick there. its very hard to be very fast around pf, mainly because of the lack of challenging corners. but because of that, youve got to get every corner sport on and be very consistent, hence why the pace is so hot. it is very rewarding to drive and the quality of racing is exellent.

however my favourite track is rowrah, then fulbeck, warden law, kimbolton, pf, wigan.... cant be bothered to go on. the one track i found really boring was GYG, looks impressive from the side but it was really tedious to drive.

speedy king · 19 Oct 2005, 13:42 (Ref:1437961)

I detested the place when if irst drove there (well to be fair i detested the first corner) but i went testing at Wildtracks last Saturday (non MSA circuit, trying to get a license) and must admit i really do enjoy driving aroudn that place now. Nice and flowing, very wide, they race rally cross round there so it's wide enough for cars and it just screams out great overtaking opportunities as it's so wide and the final stright before the hairpin on to the start/finish straight (very Croft) is so wide i'd estimate you can get 7 karts side by side and is great for lunging up the inside

youngoldy · 21 Oct 2005, 21:06 (Ref:1440141)

I voted for other, as my fave has to Rowrah. Haven't been to many tracks. From memory, Iv'e gone to Rowrah, Three Sisters and one in Wales I'm not so sure the name of, something like Gran-Y-Gors is it? I think Three Sisters is a good track with Loonar bend, but I feel its layout has just been drawn on paper and made. Where as Rowrah and GYG have been made to suit the landscape and its elavations. No offence to Three Sisters, good track, but for my reason, I'd prefare Rowrah (apart from ahving to pronounce it for the first time!!)

Rushy · 22 Oct 2005, 15:13 (Ref:1440638)

The one in wales is called llandow they have now built an extension to the curcuit

Rushy · 22 Oct 2005, 15:14 (Ref:1440639)

Speedy dont you already have a licence

Glan-y-Gors is a separate place to Llandown is it not..

speedy king · 22 Oct 2005, 18:00 (Ref:1440714)

Yeh, i wondered then why you asked that but just looked at my post. How the hell did that comment get there

speedy king · 22 Oct 2005, 18:01 (Ref:1440717)

Ooooh i get it now, i put it there as the circuit is trying to get a license, i remember now. The circuit itself isn't MSA recognised but they're trying to be

Rushy · 22 Oct 2005, 18:10 (Ref:1440726)

oh i get it now
