Thanks. It's only a few miles away from me so it's got to be worth a look.

Yeah, done 2 airfield days there with MotorSport Events. The circuit they laid out, using cones to mark the route, was great - some fast bits, some slower corners and a reasonably long circuit.
The running of the events was very good. I'd go back again (when I can afford it lol).
