Does Bruntingthorpe count as a vehicle proving ground?

Davidstow saw F1 in the 1950s, and they still do drag racing at Portreath. There's a go-kart circuit at St Eval!

Not a racetrack, but Hunsdon was involved in an air race in 1951

Agreed Jim, although they only turned over the top:) I suppose it made a good reference point!

Winthorpe has a carting circuit
Blyton has just had its track re-surfaced
I think Marham had a rally stage there a couple of years back and I believe there is a rally stage to be held on Woodbrige airfield later this year.
Not racing as such but there are alot of kids who like racing each other on Eye airfield in the evenings and weekends

Hethel, Nuneaton and Gaydon??
Newmarket & Chepstow GG tracks
There was a motor racing website (sorry no link) that listed a lot of tracks with track diagrams. A lot were airfields and some only temporary tracks.
