Question NBR / NOS mid week late pm tourist drives ?

How busy, well attended, are they when compared to the weekend events?

TIA

P.S.
Looking at HHR as well but the posted schedule doesn't show any open days during my ED.

I've been to the full weekend days multiple times and the evening ones where it's only open for a couple hours multiples times. I haven't been to a "half day" event.

The evening drives were VASTLY less crowded than the public days and significantly more enjoyable. On the weekend if you're not experienced on the ring and not driving ***** out you'll spend half the time worrying about people passing you.

If you're driving your own car I highly recommend the evening times.

Generally speaking the evenings in the middle of the week is better.

The morning until 10-11 _can_ be OK during weekends.

It happens rather often that you do more laps during an evening then during a full saturday/sunday. Less accidents on weekdays.

I agree, the evening sessions mid week are less busy, maybe if the Ring opens at say 5 PM then go out after about 20 mins when the big boys have done their first laps.

One problem about the mid week sessions is that they can be cancelled on a whim, weather crashes, etc and there is not enough time between the 5-7 PM slot to get out .

IMHO the Mid week is easier for a novice.

Thanx for the feedback. I'm a novice on it. Drove it for the first (only) time 3 years ago on a weekend. The cars didn't bother me, but those bikes sure were crazy.
