Testing in NW England...

Chris Y · 28 Apr 2005, 11:10 (Ref:1289316)

I'm looking to do some testing in the very near future (2 weeks or less), well - more like a few straight runs somewhere on tarmac so I can bed my brakes in and make sure my new pipe system works properly under pressure..

Does anyone know of a place in the North West of England where that sort of 'testing' can be done on the cheap? I'm not looking to pay MSV prices for a couple of sessions at Oulton, and my Wednesdays are quite busy in the next few weeks, so Mallory's out too.

Oh, the car's not road-legal, police patrol cars are frequent, and I value my licence, before anyone suggests it

Try Anglesey or Three Sisters?

You could also try Aintree.

There is supposedly a great Test Facility at the Truck plant in Leyland. They let it out, but you would have to contact them for details......

There is a test day on 28th May. I received these details.

If any drivers would be interested in a testing session or just track time in their cars we would make them very welcome.

Ta muchly! The test day at Aintree is a little past my 'window of opportunity', but I could try Leyland, Anglesey, and I might see if Vauxhall in Ellesmere Port have any bits of tarmac going spare late at night

Curborough (near Litchfield)? Can be very cheap to hire.

How about a short oval

if it's just to test brakes out? I saw testing at Buxton a few weeks ago was a tenner!

Can you hire old Liverpool (Speke) airport?

It's now the John Lennon Airport and not available for hire unless you have 99 mates and want to blast along in a Boeing!

Wrong name probably - where did they hold Creamfields (it was a pop music festival for those over 40)?

Creamfields isn't really for the over 40's???????

Banging choonzs......

How about trying to get onto Man United's car park?
Looks like there will be plenty of space there.

I think it needed a comma somewhere or "for those over 40, it's popular music festival"
