If its wet......take it very easy. I was there last week and one car was written off and another left in a bad way and that was in the dry. When it rains, those who know the track well, stand by hall bends with their cameras at the ready! ...Easy Track also tend to get their fair share of Knobhead drivers. Spend the morning taking it easy building up speed...But, It's an awsome track!

Just to echo what other have said, take it very easy if it is wet (and most probably will be knowing the good old english weather!) , especially on the start/finish straight approaching Coppice as it seems to build up with standing water iirc.

Unfortunately, there were a few casualties when I was there on a very wet day in Nov 05.

On the more positive side I have done 4 track days there and not seen any accidents...even on a frosty day in December!

Crikey pics above look bad. I've heard many tales of accidents at Cadwell. I guess you have to approach it like you would the Nurburgring. I can see from the youtube vids why they call it the mini Nurburgring. Looks an interesting track anyway. I'm looking forward to it.
