Sounds good, how was the track for surface, bumps?
 
I\'ve not tracked the FD and it\'s one of the closer airfield circuits to me.

It was very wet lots of standing water...but done Keevil a few times and find the surface very good.....it not as bumpy as CCombe by a long way....there are a few surface changes but that all adds to the fun. After a cracked windscreen i learnt don\'t go first let some 1 else clear the runways off grit!

They used 2 run a clockwise course but have change to anti-clockwise which is strange to get used to and its very much 2/3 rd gear as opposed to 3/4 gear so can be hard on the car.

But great fun and plenty of run off which is why the airfield circuits are great for shakedown and exploring your cars grip level safely.

Hullavington ( junc17 M4) is better in my opinion as has 2 cracking long straights.  1 with a 2nd gear hairpin and the other with a fast sweeping left.

Cant wait for saturday at coombe....but defo touching wood !
