I've done the perranporth trackdays, very good bar the patch that needs resurfacing.

Agree 100% we need to support this exciting new local track day opportunity. I've booked to go again end of this month but covid lockdown put pay to that. Looks like they are planning to run them once or twice a month. Best £100 I've ever spent on Motorsport. I had nearly 3 hours track time and could have had more.

I gather the big trench was only there because the bit that was repaired was still wet / sticky. I had to borrow a car for the first one but I should be able to take my own soon enough with any luck!

I think it's lockdown dependent mate, if you're on facebook I'll add you and let you know, or just follow spitfire raceway.

There is a closed competitor (no spectators) event running on 3rd April and it appears some decent cars are attending.

Entries close tomorrow... https://www.facebook.com/Spitfire-Raceway-Cornwall...

Shame I cant spectate though.

Apparently there have been doing some resurfacing works in the last couple of weeks, should be great.

Im booked in for trackday on sunday 11th April.

Yeah a friend went testing there last weekend. Much smoother by all accounts. My car is coming out of hiding this week, hoping to be ready for June trackdays.

Back again on Sat 20th, hope weather is ok. Went to the last one in September which was another great day out.

Went about 3 years ago. Would be good to get up there for the next event.

There was a track day run by https://www.trackdayscornwall.com/ they invited the Street Scene Cornwall group (Facebook) and Classic Car Cornwall - so there was plenty parked up and few decent cars on the track.

Not the same horsepower as the Drag & Drift attracts, but if I had a car that would be anyway fun on a track I would 100% join up for testing my own limits etc.

I rocked up static to see who was there. Weather was better there than around Goss Moor.
