Default airfields for public use?

Hi folks, I'm wanting to do some testing on the car, I won't to get it flat out to see what it can do and get it on its limits without loosing my licence.
Does anyone know somewhere where I could do this, around suffoulk area if possible.
We gave a few airfields around but they are either to bumpy or only for event etc.

Cheers andy.

Is the car prepared to run at its limits. Are you going to hire a safety crew in case the worst happens. Woodbridge or Bruntingthorpe are the well known ones theirs also Elvington & Alconbury. It wont be cheap about £50 an hour & most have strict noise limits.
I take it this car is capable of high speeds of say 160+ if not i would visit the M1 on a dark night.

Not sure what the cars gonna do, I was thinking about 150 / 160, also want to try a few launches on high boost, I've tried on some quiet roads but allways run out of road.
Don't think I will try the m1, I'm a courier and will be needing my licence.
