Wiltshire Bikers Trackday - never been on track? This could be your chance

[Dabz]

A few of us have been discussing holding a Wiltshire Bikers only trackday - the benefit of WB-only being that if anyone has always wanted to go on track but only has their road bike, it means they can give it a go in a safe environment where they know everyone.

We did some WB-only sessions at Castle Combe a few years back and a number of members did exactly that and really enjoyed it. All the fun of a trackday with none of the pressure.

We need to gauge interest first - it would be held on a Saturday at Llandow circuit, we ideally need 45 people at £55 a head. This allows 2 novice/beginners groups and one inters/fast group, plenty of tracktime during the day and a price that makes it worth a try if you're undecided whether the track is for you.

Interested to see how many would be interested - I know January is a quiet month on the forums anyway so not expecting many to list their names but some idea of interest would be helpful

Llandow circuit is great fun in a car but it really eats your tyres. It's not very big and quite technical




Length = 1450m
Width = 9m A technically challenging circuit with both left and right hand bends – suitable for both cars & bikes

Here's a video showing what the track looks like and how to get your lines all wrong



I think he should have stayed in Tescos car park

Might be interested in that

Yup, it's a perfect track for getting in to bike trackdays - no massively long straights for people to work up far too much speed on, and the paddock area is quite technically challenging. The SWB lot do trackdays there regularly which are really popular

I'm in

Would be up for this, of course depending on date and very likely I can bring a +1 although may have to get him to sign up to the forum first!

You can still get a lot of speed up and the run offs on the two right hand bends after the chicane aren't very good.
The chicane isn't really there for a bike


I like the circuit, even though it completely destroyed my tyres

I assume you'd need to have one piece or two piece leathers that zip together?
