I've only got an MX5 as my track car so I've never thought it was worth forking out for insurance for that.
The next track I'd recommend after Brands would be Bedford.
It's flatter so less exciting, but you can go faster with lots of run off, and it's not too far away.
Likewise, Snetterton is a relatively easy journey (depending on which side of London you live) and there's plenty of room to test out some proper high-speed cornering, come off and not crash.
If you're looking for proper topography and exciting race circuits though, Donny and Anglesey should be on your list.

God I love MK1 MX5.
By now are the majority of them rust free as they've all been welded up, or this wishful thinking?

Only an mx5 MK1....a great trackday race or fun car. Also yours is a little special.

Thanks, I ended up booking Brands again (20th Feb) while there was a Black Friday code, Bedford was the other one that I was thinking actually so good to know, I might book that too! I like the idea of more run off, seeing two cars going into the barriers fairly heavily at Brands was a bit unnerving.
A video from the day we were there popped up on youtube from one of the guys my brother recognised who was there in his M2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDNc94fJScs
The MX5 looks awesome, great pic! I was getting tempted by the thought of a track day car that my brother and I could share but I don't think it's a very practical idea, i may have lingered on a few adverts for Clio's and RX8's... Annoyingly I did have an R53 that I was reluctant to sell when I got my 996 and offered to my brother but he wasn't up for it, it was tuned a bit and very nippy would have been perfect ugh.

Yes enjoyed it, been eyeing up another, would deffo do brands again as it’s so close but also considering other circuits. What do you do about insurance out of interest?
After my recent encounter with a pothole I now have round wheels again, fresh rubber on the front and an alignment. Will get a claim in to the council and see how I get on 🤞
