Bruntingthorpe
Famous for its two mile long runway and the stone chips! Bruntingthorpe is used for a variety of purposes including as a proving ground for many of the manufacturers.

"Wide open spaces encourage antics you'd never try elsewhere...."

recommended review

This is a fine, but somewhat under-rated track. Great for newbies with vast areas of run-off. If you have a powerful car it`s a hoot to drive with long straights and 120mph high speed turns. There`s also some tight bends and a hairpin for the more nimble ...

seen frequent references to stone chipping potential - at the Vmax several commented that it seemed better - I've now booked a driver training day with Don Palmer at Brunters and in the course of discussing the day he mentioned that they have recently res...

"If only the surface was better..."

Maybe the only place in the UK to do vmax runs in safety, with a 2 mile runway. Watch out at the end though, as you have to make a corner.

The circuit bit of it is featureless and less interesting than Bedford, but still has lots and lots of lov...

There are few places I'm aware of that allow the sort of sustained high speed hooliganism that this wide, wide surface easily caters for.

I have never felt my car to be underpowered but here, it was aching for more Heinkel in das Vermacht, as i...
