Would anybody happen to know where some relatively high profile UK teams (LM, lower formulae etc) test in the UK and where one might find dates/details for such tests.

Purely for an off-season fix for some cars on track.

Cheers

Unlikely to find much, most F3 teams and GT folks if testing will be in Spain, Portugal or further afield.

Most circuits don't test over the winter. Donington are one of the few that run test days all year round. I doubt you'd get details of who's testing where though... I'd have thought that a friendly e-mail to a GT team or two might reveal where they're planning on testing. Last time I was testing at Donny I was on track with a couple of GTs and a Formula 1 car!! The novelty of the F1 car wore off after being lapped a few times though as it was so unbelievably loud and I wasn't wearing earplugs..
