So..... Just in order of individual preference, My top 10 tracks for circuit racing

Spa Francorchamps... So varied, and a piece of history..... Eau Rouge flat through at 9500rpm in top :-) a bit on the long side but its Spa
Thruxton... Fast and furious in a Mini, 7/8ths of the circuit is flat out and drafting is the key
Cadwell Park... Beautiful surroundings, tight in places and technically challenging
Croft... 5 miles away :-) with the tightest hairpin in the country. Varied and technical, a great challenge
Donington... Craner Curves, what can I say. A thrilling track with a good mix of fast and slower
Snetterton... personally I prefered the old layout, but this is a track difficult to get right all the way round
Pembray.. miles away but a good layout, a great circuit for spectating.
Brands Hatch... Another piece of history, short and sweet, difficult to get past a competitor but push hard and someone will crack
Silverstone.. well Id like this to have placed higher but its to big for a Mini
Oulton Park... maybe this track will grow on me, for now it places tenth.

Thats my opinion, others will certainly differ. Doing well at a track clouds your perception and in a lot of cases if you are their for a weekend then the facilities and paddock life in the evening make a difference. Its just a top 10, it dosnt mean that any are poor its just my favourites

The racewall at Cowdenbeath, followed by Yarmouth stadium and just behind in third would be Wimbledon :proud:

Not in Minis, but......

Rockingham, barren but awesome in field and second to none facilities
Donington, amazing track
Mallory, great fun but appalling facilities, loop would be a nightmare in a 998 but Mallory mile would be perfect
Bedford, awful
Aintree, brilliant track but terrible for spectators (and its in Liverpool)
Dunsfold, worst surface anywhere
Goodwood, amazing atmosphere, lovely circuit, but my cars ALWAYS break there
Castle coombe, good fun
Caldwell park, more fun on a bike but a great track
Silverstone, ok bit need a fast car/ bike to make the most of it
Curborough, lots of fun and easy to learn
Knockhill, utterly brilliant but miles from anywhere else
