Brooklands museum have a disused(spelling ?) airfield that you can
hire fairly cheaply, (about £45 per hour i believe).
I'll try to find out some info and post it on here.

Brooklands has only starights and cart tracks from what the guy said full size cars are a no no please correct me if wrong as may have rang the part of Brooklands

I've actually driven a friends kit car at the Brookland place, its an old airfield, very straight and very boring unless you are
creative with traffic cones.
I'm in the process of trying to find the details.

I'll let you know

Chobham is known in the Rrally "fraternity poss.typo" as DERRA Longcross one of the best southern venues not for long so I have heard it's being sold off to developers for housing

The last few weeks i have been doing my direct access bike course on the Brooklands estate and every Saturday somebody is using it for some sort of driving thing.
There is basically a very large area of tarmac but also a gravel track section off to the side. Last week they had Peugeot 306's doing not just tarmac but rally sections too. The Police also use it some days for Stinger practice.

Will try and publish details.

Er??? I am sorry, Dan? [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] You said - also back in May - that you were going to post details of the Prodrive event in Croydon. You didn't bother obviously... But it's entirely up to you. I am not going to tell you what to do

Others, not only got ideas but also have been posting details and new info. Cheers, guys! Keep'em coming!
