Off to Anglesey for the weekend......

**shimmy** · 16-10-2009, 05:43 PM

Bit of a last minute trip with the guys and gals from Openpitlane.co.uk I am off Saturday morning for my first trip to Anglesey Circuit (int gp) for a trackday Sunday.

I think we are staying somewhere called Betws-y-coed near Snowdonia and looks like about 25 of us on track with another 60 from Bookatrack.

I will be taking my Speedos and some lotion so I don't get burnt after a dip in the Irish Sea (Rob, put the bag down, you can't come nomatter how appealing it seems)

anybody been there before and any tips re fuel, food, sheep, drifting etc?

Yip been before -

Great circuit IMHO, good for drifting and fun stuff - also one of the fastest corners in GB outside Silverstone I believe.

The last few hundred yards into the paddock is also not tarmaced, so watch out for the tyres! Last thing you want to do is damage a cup on the crap surface

Fuel is a pain - it takes at least an hour round trip, possibly longer. Nearest 97+ is at Tesco in Holyhead. Take jerry cans if you can, otherwise plan to lose some of your time, especially if (like some circuit day organisers, not the one I was on thankfully) they only break for lunch for 1/2 hour.

No advice from me as I've not been round but... watch the link I've enclosed below again & again, and U should get the hang of it in no time

Nice to see Tiff manhandle the CSL so well over the standard M3
