TEST DAY 2024 – The start of the 2024 season.
After the awful weather of the previous few months, we managed to get almost a whole day of half decent weather to start our season. Other hills had cancelled their test days and first meetings we managed to run the event. The event ran with many changes and restrictions. We appreciate the co-operation of all those parties who allowed us to run the day. Hopefully, we won’t have to run the end of April events with any restrictions.
There were many members of the team who made the event run so well. An incident in the middle of the day caused a minor delay but most had six runs.
There were a number of new cars and drivers and those reminding themselves of the lay-out of the hill.
We have posted some images on Facebook.
We would like to thank all the marshals for their help parking in the top paddock and their work with the incident. We would like thank everyone else who helped set-up the day and ran the event.

Due to the continuing inclement weather, you will be unable to Camp or Park your Tow Car and Trailer in the normally designated Field, as it is out of action.
Therefore upon entry to the Farm Yard, please wait to be directed to a suitable hard standing.
We aim to get as many competitors and trailers in the main paddock as we can so we ask you to park with consideration, thereby not blocking routes needed for the event.
You may well have to unhitch Tow cars and Trailers to ensure good usage of available space.
Breakfast will be available in the Restaurant from 0800 hours on Sunday and a lunch time service only.
