A multi-million motorsport development has been earmarked for Pembrey motor racing circuit in South Wales.

The concept, which is awaiting approval, will include a wind tunnel and technical centre offering shared facilities for motor racing teams.

In addition, a head-to-head rally stage is being designed specifically for TV and media coverage and a kart circuit.

Changes will also be made to the Pembrey circuit - including a facelift to the hairpin.

A spokesman for the development said, 'The centre will offer testing facilities at an affordable price.

'It will bring clients and bring in a great deal of corporate business.

'This is a fantastic opportunity for Pembrey.'

The project, partly funded by an European Union grant, has been put forward by the British Automobile Racing Club in association with Carmarthenshire County Council and the Welsh Development Agency.
