I’ve booked a provisional place on the 3rd may at Barkston Heath track day. But does anybody have any idea what facilities I might expect. I’m
thinking fuel, oil, etc. I only live about 15 miles from Grantham, in Newark, so wifey is willing to cart my 2 20lt jerry cans down for me and it’s
close enough to risk no tools barring the basics.
I would also love to know exactly were it is so I can go and do some sort of quick look over before I go
I was looking at this one,its with Javelin,looks like they have change the format though from there normal track day,looks like its a drag/drift
day,should be good fun though.Ideal place to get a feel for your new car I would say

Its our track
The facilities are, by virtue of the fact that it is 'closed' site and an active RAF Station very basic (basic toilets etc). The track is
on a unused part of the site and was built by my colleagues in our association. It is actually certified as a Nat B sprint track in the configuration
we use it for. The drift area uses some 'spectacle' pans outside the actual sprint track.
The closest facilities are Grantham, there is a shop in Ancaster and a petrol station close by. I haven't done a Javelin day but he may bring a
burger van or something?
It is located about 3-4 miles from ancaster.
Its a good track - enjoy

Have a look on google earth. It gives you a basic idea of the tarmac area available.

I know it's probably a national secret, but is it actually signposted from the A1.
Can you tell me anything about the twisty circuit as that is the bit I am interested in
Ive not actually done a track day there,but I know other guys on here have,so Ive just done a search,its not a track day as we know it,its just a

This pic shows the track against some corner names we were toying with.
