I think it's a proving grounds but I can't find any more info on it.

It doesn't appear to be tagged on Google maps.

Anybody know what it is. I am now intrigued.

Wasn't that in evo last month? The Bugatti Supersport edition - I seem to remember they did a bit about unknown test-tracks.

I thought that Veyron was run at the VW proving grounds in Germany.

They did an extra bit about test-tracks I think. I've recycled the magazine so can't look back at it.

After a quick Google of Honda test track it seems you are correct.

Looks like a fun place to visit non?

This is a couple of kilometers south as well. Another manufacturers test track?

My secret Moonbase has been discovered? No wonder MI6 has been giving me grief lately. wink

Ah questions answered thanks!

I wonder how much it costs to build one of those facilities?
