Curborough near Lichfield - use to be an airfield but is now a sprint course. Looking at a couple of hundred quid for half a day mid week testing.
I have used it a few times and it is ideal if you have a couple of mates to split the cost with.

I imagine that would be HUGELY expensive even more so than getting the car dynoed and adjusted.

I always thought that the word airfield was euphemistic.

Good luck with the testing. I might be in a similar position in a couple of months (hopefully). Let me know how that t16 runs

If you need a long bit of straight, then the pit road is actually longer...
