    Well Croft is a proper track. Plenty of run off and a good one to get started on!

    Teeside can be a bit on the small side I think. Narrow in places etc.

    Nah there are 3rd party companies who do the Track days, such as Javelin. Have a look on google and you will find the places that you can book through
