Darron, the first one last year was not until July. Get yourself on Bedford autodrome if you want some fun before then. It's just as safe as Brunters.

I think there may be a day in March.

I'll be seeing Pat Jackson this weekend and will find out.

They won their case against the Nimbys at the beginning of last year (took them a few months though). Therefore trackdays and Vmax are now being run again.

There is a great story I heard about Bruntingthorpe. One of the main "Nimbys" lives by the gate, and one day he was presented with a spinning then "crashed" Lotus Elise in his front garden after a bit of exuberance on it leaving the site. Not sure if it is true but i hope it is!

The last I heard is Trackdays to the public will be back, but they will be infrequent compared to circuits. This is all due to noise and certain days of the year surprise surprise. The track will be used however, by manufacturers ect. (read "quiet&quotwink most days.
