A Place to shake down before SVA in Dorset

Hi There
just completed my MK Indy and before I go for all the tests I wanted to give it a bit of a shake down. Does anyone know where I can go. A private road etc. I have a trailer so would travel a little and I am based in Dorset.

Thanks

Adrian

Hi Adrian

The Haynes Motor Museum have a test track that you can hire by the half day. I should think it is not far away from where you live. http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/commercial-services/other-services/test-circuit-hire.html

You can find some videos if you type the circuit into YouTube.

A session there would be ideal for bedding in brakes, assessing brake balance and all the other things the SVA man will check.

I hope this helps

Thanks John
That is fairly close to me and is not to expensive! I like that.

Thanks again
