Mallala... Or Adelaide International Raceway. Haven't been to either.
I used to live literally next to Oran Park though!

Of the ones I regularly visit it's about even between Silverstone and Donington, although Shelsley Walsh is on my doorstep i've never actually been!

Where I used to live it was Brands (after Crystal Palace closed!), but I loved to go to Lydden as well. Where I live now, Cadwell is 55 mins away and Snetterton 65 mins away. I didn't move here for that reason but you couldn't get a better contrasting pair of tracks as your locals. Both very pleasant drives, too. Silverstone, Donington and Rockingham are all less than 1 hour 45mins away.

Zolder is only 15 miles away from where I live. Or Spa at only 50 miles.
My UK home tracks are obviously Lydden and Brands, only a few hours away. In Germany it is the Nürburgring, only 30 miles away from the office. |

Around here we base "how far" on hours of travel, not on miles or kilometers. Don't know why, we just do.
So, if driving: Mission, in the Fraser Valley: 45 minutes Pacific Raceway (SIR), south of Seattle: 3.5 hours + border Portland Int'l Raceway: 5 hours + border Spokane: 9 hours + border Edmonton (street course): 13 hours over the mountains Laguna Seca: 16 hours + border Is it any wonder I mostly fly to races? keke |

Brands is about half an hour for me and Arena Essex is about 10 / 15 mins.
Used to be Castle Combe, and before that Thruxton. |
