I compete in TSS and live in the South West, the organisers have always said if I find a suitable venue (and that includes costs not just location) they will more than happily set up an event here.
If those in the South West let me know of any venues you have in mind I will see what I can do. It's in my best interest also as I live in Yeovil so know how you feel about the distance to all the events. Once you have been to one event tho I'm sure the distance would become less of an issue as you will be hooked as I am.

Re: Toyota Sprint Series
Some possible SW locations
Llandow
Colerne
Hullavington
Keevil
Castle Coombe
All the above run sprints
Clay Pidegon hill
This is a kart track but its huge and they do allow cars to run on it from what I recall?

Re: Toyota Sprint Series
No problem will have a chat with the guys at Javalin. I'm pretty sure Coombe will be out as it's way to expensive to rent for the day but I will see what I can do.

Yarp, they run MSA sprints there through bournemouth motor club.
The SW is better for hillclimb venues, a hillclimb would add a bit of variety to the season.
Mamhead
Wiscombe park
Gurston down
Tregrehan
Five clubs
Bouley Bay
Pestalozzi
Epynt

Re: Toyota Sprint Series
Also what about Mallory, Pembry - maybe even Donnigton (they have a mega car park area which gets used for car boots)
Re: Toyota Sprint Series
We've been told that too many 'proper' circuits will raise the overall costs - as they are more expensive to hire than the likes of airfields. However if it raises the profile of the Series it may be worth it!
Thanks for everyone's interest and opinions though - it's appreciated.

Re: Toyota Sprint Series
Colerne could be fun, big & flat & a good surface las time I was there.
I went to a sprint at Bovindon Camp about 15 years ago which had some epic eleveation changes & some serious corners Only was a bit scary as it was normally used for tank testing so it had quite alot of old oil drums full of concrete at the edge of the track to keep the tanks on it
