    I'm booked in for a track day at Rockingham with a few work colleagues in
    May, to do the 'Superbike' circuit, but I can't find a circuit map
    anywhere - just the National and International. Anyone done that particular
    layout and have any comments and / or a link to a map / guide? TIA.

    Heh. I've still got the video somewhere of the tractors clearing the mud off
    the track when it was just finished as we were the first people on the
    circuit (with Hottrax, a long time ago). Not long after that, they ran BSB
    there and they were all complaining about the slippy white paint. Got around
    that though, by painting over the slippy white paint with slippy black
    paint.

    Carnage.

    Rockingham was hopeless from day one. Quite liked the left-handed circuit
    though.

    Meh - it's £75 quid and I get to thrap my bike with a bunch of mates, so
    it's good enough for me.

  6. I rather like it, actually. Twisty enough that my Aprilia with its lithe
    chassis and broad grunt range can keep up with faster bikes, good mix of
    left & right handers, reasonably close to home.

    Haven't ridden there in the wet, mind.

    Must book a track day there this year, maybe Cadwell as well.

    No, the track I liked. It's Rockingham organisation that's always been crap.

    I've ridden there loads of times and always enjoyed it. When it was new, it
    was a bit lacking in landmarks ie; the odd blade of grass might have been
    nice. There was always plenty of dust and dirt blowing across the track
    though.
