The times are wrong it runs from 9am. Both times ive been they have only run 2 30 minute sessions so loads of track time.

so you get 1hr of track time split into 2 half hour sessions?

The day normally runs from 9 till 5 with 3 sessions per hour (20 min each), 6 x 20 min. Both times i've been they have only run 2 sessions per hour, so 6 x 30min. Be warned it is on an airfield so it is bumpy in some places and there are drain cover's etc, but you soon learn were they are!

It's worth doing for the cost. Been involved with two at RAF Benson and one at Kinloss, all were a good time.

damn i would have been up for this but i'll be back at cadwell for bsb. shame as it's just round the corner for me.
what sort of layout do they run? wittering airfeild doesn't have much on it that looks like would make for a track.

More than likely, they would set up a track on the taxiway/aircraft pan.

Just do a quick search on UTube, theres a few videos aon there showing the "track"
Its basically just laid down tyres on the diffrent runways so you have to dodge the overbanding/drains/manhole covers/paint lines etc
