Bruntingthorpe proving ground

[axeman]

After riding on brunters with a few other junkies for ride magazine last week I've been in touch with brunters. I asked about a group booking but said they would not do that as they tried trackdays and it didnt work out. But you can book individualy sometimes on the day providing a manufacturer isnt testing. The cost is £50 per hour with a two hour minumum booking. This might sound pricy but on a trackday you can pay £150 for a total of 2-3 hours tracktime.
A unique feature of the circuit is the mile long straight, or if you take the long circuit the two mile straight. You wont find another circuit with a straight that long.
A few things to bear in mind.
1. This is not a trackday there are no marshals or medics on hand to help you out.
2. There will most likely be race cars testing out at the same time.
3. Do not go if stone chips reduce you to tears, on the runway section especialy there are tiny bits of grit which when your drafting someone on the sunny side of 160 will sound like your being straffed.
4. You will need a road legal can, as if you trip the noise meter you will be asked to leave.
5. The entrance to the double apex right has a manhole cover on it and the exit is somewhat rutted.

I shall be going back sometime soon.
