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

Post by willberry70 »

Curborough Sprint Track: Saturday 21st June 2025.

Welcome to Curborough Sprint Track Day, exclusive to the RX8OC.
Curborough is a fun little track for beginners and experts alike.
For beginners it's only one car at a time, flying around the circuit 3 times in various configurations, so you really get to fling your 8 around, while working on hitting those apex's without hitting anyone else :thumright:

For experts it's considered surprisingly technical (so an expert tells me Image), with variety on each corner and route combination.

The full 3 laps takes about 3-4mins and ends in a sprint down the straight. The format is to line up for your go and after you've done your laps route back around again to join the queue as much as you want.

Typically about £130pp for the day with breakfast, lunch and drinks included on site, depending on numbers.

It is still going ahead and you can book as soon as Curborough are ready to send an invoice and we get the club shop inline with that :)

Only one car on a track at a time Drew, so safely away from other reprobates.

By way of an update, Will has been in touch with Curborough and clarified their payment terms. Based on that I am already very confident that we'll be able to individually price this within the expected amount. However it will continue to get cheaper per person if more people sign up.

We'll continue to allow people to signup on this thread for a while before ultimately putting places on sale once we've got a better idea of numbers.

It sometimes helps if you give people an indication of cost per attendance achieved :
15........£ ??
20........£ ?.

This gives people something to aim for and I see no reason why you can’t achieve at least 20 for this event
I’m still a maybe as we have a busy schedule this year
