Hi - have a look at the MSA website. On there you will find the 2009 Blue Book - this lists every sprint and hillclimb venue registered in the UK. Too many to list here!http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/m...rts_Venues.pdf
Lists some if not all Kart Tracks too. Crystal Palace Park was home to a Formula One Grand Prix. |

There used to be an F1 track at Davidstow in Cornwall. There is a book about it:-
Davidstow - A history of Cornwalls Formula 1 race circuit by Peter Tuthill. Some familiar names appear, Bernie Ecclestone and Don Truman. We used to Autocross near Market Bosworth, Leics and at Nether Alderley. |

Oddicombe (no longer used) Finlake Park (no longer used) Trengwainton (no longer used) Cricket St Thomas (no longer used) Porlock (no longer used) Good info here: http://www.patjennings.com/hillclimb.html Quote:
I may pop down and combine it with a look at the airfield (I believe a public road runs through it). |
