Track you might not have heard of: Cadwell Park (Lincolnshire, England)

Well if we ever find ourselves in this part of England, we know where we’re headed 🙂 Some quality British B roads can’t be far from here, either.

The circuit features sharp changes in gradient, including one section called The Mountain where bikes can become airborne by up to several feet. Its mix of challenging corners has led to its nickname as the Mini-Nürburgring (source).

Tim Schrick of D Motor (a sort of German Fifth Gear) does his thing:

Great vids! Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Fifth Gear uses this track every once in awhile.
