Exclusive Curborough Sprint Track (nr Lichfield): Saturday 21st June 2025

[DrewR3]

Hi, I would be interested. Can children attend as spectators though?

It's a good question, what kind of age? Some places do not particularly like under 12s (Anglesey for example) near the track but was still allowed in spectator areas. My 4 yr old was asked to leave the paddock area there even though my car was parked in my garage and I was holding him. Had to go out to seated enclosed spectator area. If Alan confirms then I may bring him aswell.

They're 10 and 6. I imagined we would take turns in driving / childcare if that's an option.

I can ask for confirmation, although the Hiring Rules document does not specifically mention children at all, and states that there is a spectators area away from the circuit.

It’s a bit of a drive out for me at over 2hrs but would like to join in on this one.

Be advised there's a generous 105dBa static noise limit and cars can be tested.

[JoshC]

is that at redline or certain rpm?

[MightyCondor]

Static noise limits will be applied. For track days the limit is 105dBa max measured at 0.5m and 45degrees vertically and horizontally from the tip of the exhaust pipe with the engine running at 2/3 max revolutions.

Any of the common aftermarket exhaust systems will comfortably fall under this limit.

Fingers crossed then. The borla with the autoexe and race pipe felt pretty loud on open throttle last weekend......

Good point. From memory it's around 4k RPM.

[Ollie]

192 has lower red line so surely its like 3k *cough*

Yeah I think I was more like 3.5k and they weren't bothered I doubt they check the exact RPM nudge, nudge, wink wink.

I have not driven Curborough before, so I was looking forward to this, and had intended to book last week, but life got in the way.

Then, a couple of days ago, Gwyn and I received an invite to a birthday party of a great niece, so will now not be able to attend

I hope it is successful and can be repeated at a later date

[MightyCondor]

Shame you couldn't pretend that you'd already paid for this Malcolm

Assuming we get enough people paying up this time, I'd be happy to organise it myself again in a year or 2.

Is there any update on this, maybe?

I did specifically ask the question and although it wasn't directly answered, the hire rules document states that there is a separate area that spectators have to stay in away from the track, which would apply to anyone not driving (including children in my interpretation). There is nothing explicitly starting that children are not permitted, so I think you'd be fine.

I’m sure supervised children will be fine as in any other motorsport event

[Ouzify]

Is there a cutoff date for additional drivers too?
I’ve booked my spot, but might have an additional driver I’m waiting for confirmation from

[Ouzify]

It is likely that there will be a cut off date, because we need to submit names of participants for insurance purposes. Conversations are in progress and I will confirm once I know more.

To update, we will have a cut off date of 1 June for buying places through the Club Shop.

I've asked but not got a reply. I'd think if you turned up no-one would mind as long as they were supervised and just spectating.

[Conan]

Guys, no child under 16 is allowed in the pit lane at UK circuits, the garage is in the pit lane arguably
There are notices stating this
Any supervised child is allowed in spectator areas at all UK circuits regardless of age
I hope this helps

You could try dressing them up as The Stigs shorter cousin?

[MightyCondor]

Bump for those on the list to pay through the club shop. Places still available for anyone else who wants to join.

Hopefully those with children have been satisfied by spectator rules.

Thanks for the bump, we are happy with the spectator rules. Paid for track + 1 driver.

I am just trying to confirm childcare, as looks like Naomi is being put on shift to be able to have sat of sakura off earlier in month.....once likely a grandparent has been seconded from retirement, I shall pay myself.
