Gadget Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 1. Enjoy yourself. 2. Start slowly, build your speed as you learn the track. 3. Hall bends can be quite slippy as it has overhanging trees, takes ages to dry out if it has been wet. 4. Carefull as you top out over the mountain, front end goes very light and is very easy to find yourself heading off the black stuff. 5. Enjoy yourself. Lovely track, I'm sure you will enjoy yourself (Did I mention that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetstu Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you happen to be at the front, have a quick check in your mirrors and make sure the others are going in the same direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Ease off and keep it straight over mountain or youll be in trouble dont lift off through gooseneck but get to the apexes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richgm Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If it's wet it's VERY slippy in places. Apart from that enjoy it. IMHO one of the best tracks you can drive a Westy round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 its with Javelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 One of the best Westy tracks in the UK, I love it........ and will be back there at the end of this year or def next year. By the end of the full open pit lane day I could do Coppice flat, but you must hit the first apex and you can then keep it flat all the way to the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazpowerslide Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'd echo the comments about the mountain, ease off and keep it straight. It's all to easy to loose it just after the brow and end up stuffing it into the barriers on the right. I have seen a few go in there backwards, side on and front first. Enjoy the day. Chaz.

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 certainly intend to take it steady - be interesting to see how lap times start and finish I shall be careful over the mountain - no getting wheels off the ground for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajess Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 See you there Cleggy, me and my son are booked on aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedditchJay Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 my corner to watch is Barn Corner, is a long, downhill sweeper onto the start / finish straight, easy to get wide and catch the bails..... other than that enjoy the play time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just stay in front of Hamilton and Vetel for the first few laps , you'll be fine after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pots Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Cadwell is fantastic, it will be well suited to a westfield, don't try to get to much air over the mountain and hall bends are tricky.
