Have been there for many a rally in the past, but I understand that they have pulled the plug on that.

Matcham's is a small banger racing oval.

They hold the rally's on the M.O.D proving ground just down the road. I think they hold part of the sunseeker rally there every year.

Is Matchams Raceway and Avon Park connected then?

Spoke to a guy the other day who said you can only do 1 lap at a time alone for insurance reasons.

I do not believe they are connected as stated Avon Park is MOD so in recent times with the problems then they have closed ranks so to speak.

I think it was IMS who do things on this track and it is very limited. Even when we did rallies there only pit crews allowed and we even had to stay in one area. So could not see any rallying.

Just found an old CCC they have an ad in there:

ICM, Avon Park, Ringwood Hampshire

£120 per car , 3.6 mile resurfaced tarmac track, 100% track time

Think I'll make some enquiries, be good if they're still operating :D

Avon Park is now operated by QinetiQ Ltd on behalf of MOD.

The Company policy is currently not to permit any form of motorsport related activity to occur at any of its sites.

It is for this reason that the sprint at Boscombe Down has been cancelled this year

We were talking about possibly organising a "track" day there with the BEC list a year or so ago, but from an onboard video of the lap that Ive seen, I wouldnt want to drive it quickly in a Caterfield anyway, basically like a country road with no run off and trees / banks etc everywhere.  :oops:
