Other info / linksTo be added. CurboroughLocation2.5 miles North East of Lichfield. Approached from Lichfield on unclassified road signposted Fradley from A38 Multimap Length900/1500 yards short/long course sprint DescriptionCurborough is a purpose built venue for sprinting, which has benefited from continuous improvement over the years, and is a regular in the Notts championship as well as a host of others. The course is relatively tight and twisty and surfaced with good quality tarmac. To the uninitiated spectator the track seems very straightforward, but it actually presents quite a few challenges to the driver aiming to set a competitive time. It's a very good track to learn the art of sprinting at, being relatively safe and not having very fast corners. Other info / linksThe Shenstone and District Car Club have a web site which gives good information about the Curborough course. ElvingtonLocationSouth East of York MultimapLength1.700 Miles // 2.736 kmDescriptionMust be the best dedicated Sprint course in the UK. Single & double lapper events here. Looks simple until you try and go a few tenths faster !! How good are your brakes for the 100mph to 20mph hairpin ?? Other LinksEvents are run by Auto 66 See www.racingcircuits.net Elvington HarewoodLocation7.5 miles North East of Leeds. Approached from Leeds by A61 to Harrogate, then A659 to Harewood. or Take M1 on A1 and take A659 exit from A1 (Otley). Left at island. Left at T. Then bare right over central reservation towards Harewood. Aprox 3-4 miles from there on right. Length1448 Meters Hillclimb DescriptionLongest Hill Climb course in the UK. Very technical. Blind corner now with tarmac run off. Also hold your breath through the farm buildings as you have to be as close to the wall as your dare. Could take a life time to master perfectly.

At Alberbury B4393 off A458 between Shrewsbury and Welshpool. Multimap Length1475 yards hillclimb DescriptionBeautiful setting in a dear park for a very challenging hill. The corners flow into each other with a few double apexes to catch out the Loton virgins.
