Wanted - a big expanse of smooth tarmac

[Dave J]

on private ground, with the owners consent to do a saloom and handling testing day for my motor club.

Anyone have or know of such a venue @ minimal or no cost ?

You could try asking Chepstow Racecourse. I think they have a large piece of tarmac beside the horse track.

[Dave J]

ta - I'll try and take a look at the racecourse

Not sure who own its but i have seen a handling course setup on the airfield/runway thingy, diagonaly across from Llandow circuit (over the cross roads).

Were trying to get that area for some drifting, apparently a farmer owns it and only charges 50 pound per day, no luck in tracking down the farmer yet but if i do i will pass on the info to you.

Checked it out a few weeks back, it is absolute huge and would be great for some practice, there is also a smaller area the opposite side that has some turns, we also checked this out and with a clean up it would be great.

Here is a photo of the large runway which we are after..



And zooming in you can see the other area which could be used as a course or 3rd gear drifting...



The course type area has a security guard, but when we approached the hut....nobody was found to be there or anywhere near, which sucked as info on the area would have been great.

i seem to recall a certain crooz websites showdown being there many moons ago

[David Godfrey]

believe I did an evasive drive course there a few years ago, will ask the guy if he has any contact details....

[Dave J]

That looks spot on

I'll try Tony @ Llandow for info - he owns most of the Land aroudn there and i know WCCC use the patch of tarmac opposite the track .

I'll report back.

[gareth_t]

ive used that patch on llandow a couple of years ago with my 250 gocart! no one turned up all day!

It's got locked gates, the front ones looking pretty new, rear gates looking very old and world war 2 sort of age, so can't just take cars on, would be a bit cheeky too.
