I'd vote Cartagena since a) I know it - ish, b) its brilliant, c) its cheapest.

Appreciate you've both been there a couple of times already now though.

(edit: I may have to change my vote due to potentially having a terminator metal hand around that time.)

I was also thinking Cartagena cos 1. I know it 2. it's brilliant 3. not too many straights so my little bike doesn't get overtaken too much.

Postpone the wrist thing till after.

you forgot Portimao with hot trax 13-16th sept

weather will be likely be amazing mid sept

cost is £ 649, 4 days on track inc hotels, all food and drink & booze plus a 2hr endure race at the end (only if you want to do it)

bike drop off at brands

otherwise for sheer all out high speed cornering fun Jerez is really special. FE 4 days that would be my choice. november is too late in the year
Jerez is good for smaller twins as even through its quite long, its quite twisty with fast corners.
its also quite wide, flat and easy to learn where it goes, so you can focus on building corner speed.
its really rewarding track to ride

its one of the tracks where i have seen much smaller bikes like SV650's and SS900s hold their own against much faster bikes in fast group

Aragon is amazing, fast, technical and massive.
my 998 feels underpowered on that track its the only place i have hit rev limiter in top gear.
also not much to do around the track or hotel.

Almeria is always good value and good fun. its rarely wet, hotel etc is in a fun little spot on the coast.
only downside is that it does have a huge straight but you can still kick sportsbike butt round most of the rest of the circuit.

Thanks for the low down!

Although Portimao with Hottrax clashes with MOB Weekender for anyone planning to go.
