Default Driving on the test track

I live near the Dunsfold and was looking to do my motorbike test, I got to a site http://www.autopass.co.uk/ , they use the track, and under special offers,

Learn to drive on the BBC 'Top Gear' car circuit at Dunsfold Park, Nr Guildford, Surrey.
Safe * Secure * Fantastic!


Thought i might give it a go before they start filming or something.

I went round the runway speed test bit they show on TV for my CBT , going back Monday (2 days time) for my DAS course, Direct Access so you can ride any bike. Instructor was going round the track during my CBT, says I can do it during DAS
as a bigger bike +500cc makes it easier/good practice.

They had a few top gear cars there in Dunsfold, the green American car , jag, VW, in fact they took over our carpark so we had to go on the runway!. The sky looks just like TV, i mean it does look dramatic with clouds with horizon. and the weather changes quickly the wind was enough to blow a bike off it's sidestand.

I should take some pictures on Monday, the owner thought they had moved but was suprised they were still filming apparently.

edit:

we were on 125cc CGs they said you speed down it once you get a warning, twice you are asked to leave (did get to 50mph without them noticing though images/smilies/smile.gif )
