Robster 3 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 Hey everyone I bought my GT86 about a month ago and found this place on Friday, so I thought I should say hey! I'm hoping to partake in the TSS next year as that looks mega (here's hoping for a round at Brands or Lydden as they're my local circuits!) and some social meets in the future. Here's my car, as it appears everyone posts one customary picture: 2 KevinA and Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep hoping..... southern circuits are too expensive apparently. The closest we'll get is Snett or Woodbridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not currently, but if I was ever thinking about getting a car with more power, I'd be more tempted to put a turbo on this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 15, 2016 Welcome aboard. Unlikely it seems there'll be those circuits on the TSS. Lydden is possible, but a long way for for those not in the south. Brands is too expensive really. The better circuits are in the north, though I would say. Good luck with the car, it's not too late to get paid up for JAE.

Amazingly I've never been north of Donington before so I'll take your word for it JAE seems great but I'm already away that weekend so another time. Look forward to seeing some southerners at the start of September though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn man I would totally join you there but I'm going to Reading Festival the next day and leaving at silly o'clock in the morning. We should give each other a shout if we do another one at Brands in the future! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

undercharged 17 Report post Posted August 17, 2016 A big welcome from me too! White 86 too, but mine is LHD. You guys are lucky to have so many circuits on the island. I only have one proper(ish) "Sokol" racetrack about 80 km from the town I live in. Never been there though. Yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 17, 2016 The UK has a huge motorsport history, so we have many circuits to drive. I've driven all but two (Llandow and Thruxton), but there really are some gems in the UK for sure. Cadwell Park, Croft, Donington Park and Oulton Park are the best IME.

Surprised you've not driven Llandow Lauren, great fun little track. Although I've not driven the 86 there, I can imagine it would suit the 86 down to the ground. It's certainly not the most technical given that it's basically just an oval with a few chicanes thrown in, but it's wide enough to have a lot of fun, and whenever I've been there it's attracted some awesome cars.
