    Is this appropriate for noobs who are a bit rubbish like me? The "one by one" track style seems quite suited to it.

    Just to confirm is a topless car ok without a cage if wearing a helmet? I couldn't see any mention of cages above but I wondered whether it is different for those of us who are driving rollerskates/mx5s?

    All cars with the roof down are fine. Just make sure you don't go too hardcore and roll it. You must have a helmet and seatbelt on at all times though.

    Indeed it is, free for spectators though! There is a cash machine at a petrol station about a mile away from Tilstock Airfield.

    The track changes each time we setup the track in the morning. We can change it if your not happy with the layout on the day. The dimensions are 40 metres x 600 metres for the airfield. There are videos on the FB site. Click the link the in description.

    Very nice! I've always wanted to go to the Isle of Man. I used to be a full time rider on a 650 Bandit until I crashed and bought an E46 to go drifting with.

    Noise levels I don't think are a problem as I run without an exhaust as got pulled off and drive like that all day
