Try and find out about your local Motor Club, see if they organise sprints as some can be held on just a large expanse of tarmac, there was a sprint about 3 miles from me in a place which I never knew existed.
Sprints are great, don't go unless your looking to race in the future (not that that's bad), I made that mistake and now I'm making a westfield worthy to race it's brilliant fun.

Edited to add: There's Prescott in Gloucestershire, Postcode is GL52 9RD if you want to look.

Shelsley Walsh is in Hereford/Worcester - WR6 6RP

Gurston Down is in Wiltshire - DT11 8DH

There aren't many I can find in my Circuit Guide where your looking but they are the closest but still a bit of a drive.

Hope this helps,

Graham

Tell you what, if you email me your adress I'll post you the 2002 fixture's book which has a directory of all of the motor clubs in the back, you should find something in there.

The Prescott Hillclimb driver's day is fabulous fun, about £100, you get about 6 runs up the hill, which they video and rip the p*ss out of you, the lunch is OK(!). Although it too suffers from the "I want to do this" syndrome.

If you look at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/TVR_Speed_Champ you'll see our calendar for next year in the files section. You coming to the meeting on Sunday? We can have a chat about it - there are several venues in Essex that we go to regularly, and we're sprinting most weekends during the summer.

Cheers,
Peter Humphries (and a green V8S)
Coordinator, TVRCC Speed Championship
