Thats the Chobham test track, also known as Longcross Proving Ground, not far from Chertsey in Surrey.

No, They only allow corporate customers on. They used to do Stage Rallys but these have been banned due to Nimbys.

Sixth gear, Journos, some race car shakedown and Mclaren (alot!) are the main customers, and the film companies are usually shooting over there as well.

Longcross also used to be the MODs tank testing facility. There are some amazingly steep inclines there - you can't imagine walking up them let along getting a tank up there - but they did. The Chieftan and Scorpion were tested there I believe and the old tank factory is on or very near the site.

The film studios use it as a location too. Last time I was there they were shooting Clash of the Titans there - quite an impressive set they had too.

Shame it's not open for trackdays as it's not a bad venue.

Those experience days look like decent value for the price. Might have to book one to find out

Looks like the same place where AutoCar do all their reviews/road shots.
