Brooklands airfield.
Have done several autotests there and there's a big big stretch of dusty tarmac just right for this sort of thing (nothing to hit!)

Good on yer astraboy

Never been there in the car but Chobham roundabout is regularly used by the local m/c magazines for "gettin yer knee down". It's a constant radius, has OK visibility and is in a fairly quiet area, look here http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...&multimap.y=11

It's on the intersection of the B383 and B386

Forget Chobham roundabout - used to do laps on my bike but seems to be in a permanent state of repair now (perhaps to stop the bikers doing their thing) and the police are frequent visitors.

Good luck anyway!

Yeah chobham roundabout is well known to me. Well the long straight road running up to it past DERA anyways Seems to have those big plastic construction block things round them permanantly now. Which is a shame
As for how I applied, I phoned em up, asked them, they said yes.
