Apologies if this has already been covered... I should remember from last year but I don't...

What paperwork do I need to bring, a) to get in and b) for the track signon, will driving licence be enough?

If I’ve got your map right you are heading over the Horse Shoe Pass at Llangollen (again a 40mph zone which can have cameras on) and into Ruthin. The Nant Y Garth into Ruthin is very good. But continue to Denbigh and head onto the A453 through Groes to Blychau (start of this will be an average camera but I think you only pass one camera when I didn’t the other week) then A544 to Llanfair Talhaiarn then A548 back down Llanwsrt, so like this

The section in blue is pretty good, I do a bit of a loop from home around there

Yes mate the horse shoe pass,is it worth doing that?.will be coming from Shrewsbury way.

Yes and no. It’s a nice road and it used to be a 60mph limit. But it’s very biker heavy at times and there are sheep that wonder on the top of the hill and into the road. But it’s a better drive than going though Coedpoeth if you want to do a nice route. Does that make sense?! If you have the time I would do what I’ve suggested to link up to what you have planned. Miss out the Evo Triangle due to the crap average speed cameras. The run into Conwy you have planned looks good! I might have to venture over that way one day.

Think I mentioned it before but if you make your way to Llanfyllin (either from Oswestry or Welshpool etc) and then get on the B4391 to Bala. It's a good mountain road with some good views and nice runs to stretch the cars legs.
Once you get to Bala, I can't help much after that though but I'd deffo recommend the B4391 if you can fit it into the routes.

Decent fish and chip shop in Llanfyllin too called eagles fish and chips.

At Bala the B4391 becomes the A4212, follow that and it branches off in to the B4391 again to Ffestiniog.

Then you can either go up to Betws-y-Coed or head up the A457.

My 197 is fighting me every step of the way, ive now got the rest of the week off work to get it 1. Running, 2. Road trip ready, 3. Track time ready!

If it doesn't work then my options are the RSI or the Arnold Clark Dacia Sandero courtesy car I've had for 3 months while my Megane is fucked..... Not sure whats the fastest 😂

Stupid newbie question ; is there any kind of group chat for the weekend?

As a borderline recluse I'm concerned I'll just turn up, do the track time, and f**k off home without actually putting any faces to names, and if I wanted to do that, I'd go to Snetterton and save myself 12hrs in the car.

So you want to chat on a group chat rather than face to face at the weekend 🤣

Jokes aside, there's normally the admin/shop tent where you can introduce yourself and then failing that, look out for the guy with dreadlocks and cargo shorts and you'll be sound. He will gladly discuss all the graphs with you 👀

Cool, I'll head over to the admin tent then. I'll be fairly easily recognised...

I’ll have a grey ranger and my white Mk1. I’ll be the stressed looking old man shouting a lot at his son. Come and find me. X

I've got an afternoon session booked, do I still have to be there early morning for a briefing?

Or can I arrive a bit later in the morning together with the family?
