Cool, thought I would put it together as got too annoyed with trying to remember where everywhere was and comparing my diary/trackday dates/locations and noise limits. smile

That's really useful. thumbup

Hope you don't mind, I've added it to the "Who's going to which track days" wiki.

Would a search engine be useful?

E.G. Enter your postcode, max distance you will travel, minimum noise requirements, weekday/weekend and date range and it will show you suitable dates?

hmm temped to make a track day app for the BB/iPhone/Android and pc that allows you to access and book etc (and get all the relevent info).. and to see whos going etc.

I think these is defiantly some 'web 2.0' aspect missing here, as track days are social events. Auto pic uploading, geo tagginging (careful for insurance companies smile )

But the map is excellent smile great idea

The location for Anglesey Circuit (Trac Môn) is wrong - you've got the pointer over the airfield.

The correct location is about 5 miles south-south-west - here.

That's a great map! But Scotland looks pretty skinny in relation to England for tracks!

Good work. Could I ask your permission to put the map on our website? www.circuit-days.co.uk. There's a free UK track day in it for you if so!!

Good work sir! Why no Donington? The smart money says they aim to re-open for racing by the Autumn. Might also be worth adding curborough sprint course in Staffordshire, that takes trackday bookings:
