Best roads near Cambridge to test a remap (legally)
After a remap, you'll want to feel the difference. Here are six routes around Cambridge that let you stretch the car without ending up on a Police Camera Action repeat.
Disclaimer: stay within the speed limit. The point of these routes is the variety of roads — slow corners, fast sweepers, A-road overtakes — not top speed.
1. The A11 north to Mildenhall
Dual carriageway, smooth surface, light traffic outside rush hour. Perfect for feeling 50–70mph in-gear pickup. Loop back via Newmarket.
2. The A1303 to Six Mile Bottom
Single-carriageway A-road with long visibility, gentle sweepers. Nice mid-corner stability test.
3. The B1102 — Soham to Burwell
Quiet B-road through the fens. Long, flat, straight bits punctuated by villages with 30 limits. Good for low-speed throttle response.
4. The A10 north to Ely
Mix of dual and single carriageway. Coffee at Ely cathedral, then back via the B1382 for some twistier stuff.
5. Madingley Road / A1303 west
Quick out-and-back from the workshop. Good for a 30-minute post-install shakedown.
6. The B1052 to Linton
Hilly, bendy, rural. Tests the gearbox more than the engine.
