How far do you travel to Marshal?

[MrTT]

Just out of interest just seeing how far people travel to marshal? (in the uk)

My normal Distance is to Silverstone from Rotherham so about 110 mile 1 way.

Am going to try other circuits soon tho

[White flag man]

Brands Hatch 30 miles o/w
Silverstone 82 miles o/w
Snetterton 101 miles o/w
Knockhill, only done it once, 501 miles o/w

[HairyDJ]

Silverstone is pretty local
Mallory & Rockingham just over an hour or so away
Lydden - well worth 130 miles each way

Cheers, David

[Paul Newns]

Oulton is my nearest circuit, about 80 mile round trip, Anglesey is another regular trip, about 100 miles each way. Silverstone and Rockingham is about 260 mile round trip. I go to Knockhill once a year, and Brands at least once a year but I don't want to think how far they are.

[mini1400]

This year I'll be doing:
Brands : 50 miles
Snetterton : 62 miles
Lydden : 93 miles
Silverstone : 113 miles
Goodwood : 122 miles
Donnington : 141 miles
Cadwell Park : 154 miles
Croft : 242 miles
Pembrey : 270 miles

all one way...

[sss]

From Herts I will travel to lydden, brands, thruxton, pembrey, croft, angelsey, goodwood, snetterton, donnington, cadwell, oulton

but that list is rapidly reducing as the cost of petrol goes up.

[The STIG]

Pembrey : 100mile round trip (give or take a bit)
Donington : 270mile
Silverstone:350ish mile

Those are the three I tend to do mostly. I don't know how far malllory is.

[The Fat Clerk]

Mallory - walkable
MIRA - 3 miles
Donington & Curborough - 25 miles
Silverstone - 45 miles
Montrael - several thousand!!

[mattt]

Rockingham 34 miles one way
Mallory 60 miles one way
Silverstone 62 miles one way
Donington 72 miles one way

[Mark Mitchell]

Oulton from Stoke takes about 45 mins in the morning and about 55 mins coming home.

Donington (ONE "N") is roughly the same, with Mallory an extra 35 mins or so.

Anglesey........well we normally stop off for a picnic then a little later for an ice cream in Llanfairfechan, but I guess a non-stopper would be just over 2hrs.

Silverstone is about 90 mins and Castle Comb around 2 1/2 hours (Again we normally stop off for foodage!)

And like Dave.......Montreal - about 7 1/2 hours!

[marshal_man]

From somerset, we travel to Knockhill, Snett, Croft, Rockingham, Brands, Oulton, Cadwell, Thruxton, Combe

[Stack]

Mallory 12
Donington 15
Rockingham 25
Silverstone 45
Cadwell 73
Brands 120

My god that's a long way to go from Rotherham, Cadwell, Donington and Mallory are the 3 circuits I tend to have down to travel from Rotherham but I do have 1 silverstone and hopefully ( if tickets arrive ) an angelsey weekend in a fortnight.

Cadwell Park is my favorite so far though.

[Guinness2702]

So far, I've done

Mallory: 10 miles
Donington: 15 miles
Cadwell: 80 miles

With Silverstone and Rockingham closer than Cadwell, I've got enough circuits to keep me busy for most weekends within 100 miles. I dare say that I'll visit circuits further afield in due course, too.

See you there....come and say hello!

[Rich207]

I`m from Sheffield and marshall at Cadwell, Oulton, Croft, Donington, Silverstone and Mallory Park. Donington is the nearest which is an hour away. The others about 2 hours ish and 200mile round trip. It`s a pain because your knackered at the end of the day but least you have no traffic in the morning!!!!

p.s. Driving a Ferrari at Donny tomorrow as a birthday pressie so can`t wait. If I bin it at the old hairpin I will never live it down.....

[gwar]

For us thruxton-10 mins,
Silverstone and brands-1hour-ish
rockingham, donny,mallory,pembrey-2 hours
oulton-3-4 hours
croft-4-5 hours

Cadwell did 2 years ago 5+ hours

Every year we try and do circuits that we have not been to yet (long distance ones)
But as someones already mentioned price of fuel is know becoming a big factor and also taking friday and mondays off to get to and from those circuits cuts into holiday time.
However each year we do shoot off to a circuit in europe, obviously living in the south, were close to ports ect...

[RabT]

Only ever been to 2 tracks Silverstone and Brands Hatch
Keep saying i'm going to try some others (hopefully closer)
Brands hatch is 256miles one way for me so 512 round trip
Only done it once and and once for training
Silverstone is 170miles one way so 340 round trip
(i'm begining to see what my wife means about me being mental)

[Pitlane Eddie]

Doing all these this year - 95% of them in my motorhome. All mileages are one way.
Brands 242 miles 5 hours
Goodwood 189 miles 4 hours
Knockhill 515 miles A day - flying
Silverstone 225 miles 5 hours
Anglesea 370 miles 8 hours
Croft 375 miles 8 hours
Rockingham 273 miles 6 hours
Mallory 240 miles 5 hours
Donington 246 miles 5 hours
Pembrey 213 miles 4 hours
Snetterton 318 miles 7 hours
Thruxton 156 miles 3 hours

Can someone PLEASE build a circuit down in Devon/Cornwall?!!! The cost of fuel, if anything, will be the governing factor for my choices next year. One year when I drove up to Knockhill in the motorhome (did Donington on the way home) it cost me over £250 in fuel alone. Goodness knows what that would cost at today's prices - unthinkable!

[aland]

knockhill for me is about 80 miles each way and that is my "local" track

[cornish git]

brands hatch 100 miles 1 way.
croft 300 miles one way.
thruxton 21 miles.
castle combe 55 miles
dubai. and barhain 8 hrs on a plane 1 way.mind you that was a short trip,some people do a 23 hr plane ride.

[Ian Briggs]

Oulton, 25 miles,
Anglsey, 100 ish,
Mull, 320 to Oban, then a ferry, and its the last event I would give up, its not the distance/expence, its the events you want to do!

[graham-ne]

sebring florida approx 11000 miles round trip

I've done Donington, Mallory, Silverstone, Aintree, Cadwell (I want one in my back garden, anyone got a few million quid spare???)

Im looking forward to Anglesey, Oulton and Snett!
