Hire the museum's own test track

The Museum’s own test track can be hired for individual testing or used with other outdoor areas for larger events. Challenging and technical, the Museum test circuit gives the chance for motoring activities of many different types. High-grade tarmac has been laid to give the best surface quality.

The circuit is ideal for driving enthusiasts and motorsport competitors alike, offering a fantastic driving experience whether hired for exclusive one car use, or as part of a group event. Solo use of our circuit removes all the familiar racing circuit problems of missing allocated sessions from congested circuit conditions, or other vehicles spoiling your test lap.

Exclusive hire of our facilities represents outstanding value in this age of ever increasing circuit charges. The circuit is ideal for any hill-climb and sprint cars, rally cars in tarmac trim, and short oval race cars. It has proved invaluable for racing teams to run in engines, bed in brakes, practice starts, set up handling for tight corners, or just getting used to your car in an affordable environment.

This exclusive facility also provides ideal conditions for film production and photography.
