It's a very cool piece of equipment .

Gentlemen (& Ladies!),
Things have definitely progressed a lot since we started organising our days at Curborough nearly 2 years ago – so much so that we’ve sourced a new venue for you all to enjoy!
The venue is called Throckmorton; it’s an old airfield near Pershore with plenty of room for us to have a play so here’s the plan:
The fee will be £80 per car (again, an additional £20 per extra driver), so a little more than Curborough but this is a much larger venue and we feel still very cheap for the amount of tracktime you’ll get.
We’ll be using 2 main areas of the airfield:
1 is the main runway, we’ll be using this for high speed runs so you’ll really be able to push your car to speeds that you simply can’t do at Curborough.
The other area is part of the access road, which we have converted to a sprint circuit (again which will be timed and recorded.
The day will run in a loop-like format, so you’ll essentially be getting 2 events in one. The “start point” will be the sprint circuit section, then you’ll continue slowly around past the congregation area (we’re very keen to keep the atmosphere we have at Curborough) to the start of the runway for the high speed section of the day. Upon completion of your high speed run you’ll again slow to then join the queue for the sprint circuit again.
Obviously as the speed is higher the danger is higher too, so there will be braking boards out at the end of the runway, just in case any heroes decide they can get that extra 5mph out of their car
To those that don’t wish to take part in the high speed run, or alternatively the sprint course, the “loop” will be set out in such a way that you can miss out either section, should you wish.
As always, we’ll be providing lunch at a small extra fee, should you wish – this time from a burger/sandwich van just around the corner (We’ve sampled the food and can confirm it’s delicious!).
We have posted an aerial view of Throckmorton on our forum (http://sprintandtrackday.co.uk/page/throckmorton) to give you a better idea of how it will all work. This link also includes all the information needed to find the venue.
As with Curborough, there is no noise limit and we’ll be running from 9am – 5:30pm.
Full payment via Paypal to [email protected] needs to be taken upon booking as we need to pay for the track in advance of the event.
There you go guys, we hope you have a great time as usual, get in touch if you’d like to come along!
